Meats such as Pierna, Chicken, Chicharron, Turkey, Ham and more are prepared in-house with a special blend of spices and sauces for the most authentic flavor. They are packed on soft, locally-baked sub-style breads and topped with slices of American cheese, queso fresco, avocado, onion, tomato, jalapeño and lettuce, before it is all toasted and served warm.
Tortas Manantial also specializes in freshly squeezed natural fruit juices, aguas frescas, and Mexican licuados that are made with hand-sliced fruits and vegetables. Soon, Laveen locals will get to enjoy these delectable Mexican delicacies but for a taste of what’s to come, look for their existing locations at tortasmanantial.com.
