This place has the best torta I've ever had in my life! In fact the torta asada is one of the best sandwiches I've ever tried, hands down. I've lived in California and tried manyyy tortas and Tenoch is the best! They have the perfect blend of flavors and toppings, pickled jalapenos, pickled red onions, a delicious sauce, their bread is amazing and every bite is magical. I came across this place by accident and I was so pleasantly surprised, it's my favorite takeout treat now!

Do not expect speed with preparation of the food. We’ve been to Tenoch Mexican three times over the past two months (November & December 2020) and each time has been a great experience. We highly recommend that you order online to pickup as waiting to order in-person can take 20ish minutes if there’s a few people ahead of you. The staff is really friendly and they will make your order exactly how you ask. Everything we’ve tried from Tenoch has been delicious! We highly recommend the following items: • Enchiladas Rojas with Asada • Torta Asada •Guacamole

Great food, very tasty, served with a smile. We had Enchiladas and Tostadas. One with pork the other with chicken. Very generous portions...Very affordable.

The best meal I’ve had out in Melrose for a very long time. This is authentically good food, not a dumbed-down US style taco joint as I’d feared. It has art and nuance and flavor. Will go again soon!

Great tacos and tortas. Fast service. Mostly does takeout. They put green sauce with some cilantro in it on all my tacos. Ask if you don’t like cilantro or onions. I liked it but maybe don’t put it on all the tacos

Amazing tortas, if you haven’t tried one now is the time. Pastor was good. I’m an adobada fan and think this place could pull it off really well. Hint hint...

Ate on the patio. Chx/steak fajitas and kids had quesadillas. Food was awesome, waiter was super friendly. Great drinks, had Sol beer, best beer to drink with Mexican food. Yay will be coming back.
