"Every torta tells a story"

Our Story

Born from a Love of Real Mexican Food

Tortas Ahogadas Angelito isn't just a sandwich shop — it's where Union City comes for a taste of home. We started with a simple idea: make tortas the way abuela used to, with real meat, fresh bread baked every morning, and salsa that actually has soul.

Our tortas ahogadas are our claim to fame. We slow-cook our pork in a rich tomato and chile broth for hours, then drown the sandwich in it just before serving. It's messy, it's spicy, and it's unforgettable. Pair it with a glass of horchata and you've got perfection.

What People Say

Loved by the Neighborhood

"Best tortas ahogadas in the East Bay, hands down. The salsa is perfect — not too spicy but you know it's real. My family drives here from Hayward just for these."

Maria G.

Union City

"The chorizo torta with egg is my go-to breakfast. They make it fast, it's always hot, and the horchata is the best I've had in the area. Feels like eating at a friend's house."

Roberto S.

"I brought my parents here and they said it tasted just like the tortas back in Guadalajara. That's saying something. The pozole on weekends is incredible too."
