Cook's Tortas

After enduring a half a day of work, I began to feel the shear force of hunger hitting my stomach.  Cherry Bomb and I almost blew a fuse deciding what to eat.  We decided to head over to Cook's Tortas located in Monterey Park.  I have been here many times and I always crave it once in a while.  They always make aweesome fresh juice daily.  Cook's Tortas is one of those places that never come up, but when it does NOTHING will stand in your way to get it. 

Good for: Lunch break and random missions
Parking: Parking lot with many parking spots
Scene: feels like home
Service: Efficient and always gives excellent suggestions
Noise level: Quite noisy
Seating: Indoor & outdoor
Price: $

Rating: 3.5/5

We ate: A California Torta paired with a delicious fresh orange juice and macoroni salad.  A Chicken Basil Torta with a fresh cucumber and lime juice and potato salad. 


You walk into Cook's Tortas and there always seems to be a line.  Which is good because the menu is written out in chalk on the wall.  This gives you some time to decide what you want to eat.  Almost everytime, I have gotten the California Torta.  You can never go wrong with the California.  So once you order something, you then get to choose a side and a drink.  If you get the chance, order the guava juice.  It is heavenly!  We paid a $20 bill and randomly sat down at a table and waited for number 51 to be called.
