  JC King's is a hidden gem in Milwaukee's south side. Best known for their tortas, they also offer a variety of other delicious Mexican meals. My favorite is the "pechugona", I love chicken and this is the perfect mix of veggies and chicken! I definitely recommend stopping in, good for a fast lunch or something to take back home to the family. The service is also very good, Angelica is a newer of their waitresses & she is awesome. She is very friendly as well as very kind! Also, don't forget to tip your servers! Especially in small restaurants that offer delicious but cheap food!

  First time here and it was certainly delicious. You order at the counter and then food is brought out to you. Every table gets chips and some beans when you sit down. My husband and I didn't know that so we also got guacamole and chips as a side... very limey but delicious. We each ordered a chico torta; I am so thankful we didn't get the grande tortas because the small ones were definitely big and filling. All of the tortas come with lettuce, tomato, mayo, avocado, red onion, and jalapeños or chipotle sauce.

  The best torta I've ever had! They specialize on so many tortas with different meats and everything. For my first experience here I was recommended the cubana which is the sand which with ALL THE MEATS! I ordered the big size and was shocked when I seen how huge it was and I couldn't even finish one half. So when you look at the picture just notice how one half took up the whole plate. But the prices are cheap and amazing! They also have a food truck located on 35th and burnham everyday but just a heads up they are cash only food truck but they have a gas station on the corner for ATM if anything! Highly recommend this place if you wanna have the best experience for Tortas!

  If you love Mex food and the obesity it BRINGS
  And you're tired of Fish Fries, Burgers, and WINGS
  And you're not in the mood for Bombays and BeiJINGS
  Get yourself a Torta from JC KING'S
  
  My girl is in adult movies and she SWINGS
  I'm worried she'll catch STDs and THINGS
  She's already had several intense FLINGS
  But I still love her more than JC KING'S
  
  Maybe it's because she treats men like PLAYTHINGS
  Maybe it's the way she wears out my hamSTRINGS
  Maybe it's the way she causes junk SPRINGS
  Or maybe it's the way she eats JC KING'S
  
  She pouts and poses while her man SINGS
  So I'm going to buy her expensive RINGS
  And do her on the racetrack at Saratoga SPRINGS
  Then take her for a Torta at JC KING'S
  
  WHAT
  
  JC King's Tortas are the best in Milwaukee, and some of the best Tortas you will find anywhere in the Great Lakes. They are Juicy and delicious and cheap and utterly enormous.
  
  I could not believe how big the small was. Which is the opposite of what my gf said when she first saw me naked.
  
  I couldn't even get through a quarter of it. Which is what my gf says when she's getting down with her secret 6 foot 8 boyfriend.
  
  Every bite was delicious and combining the Jalapeno with the Chipotle sauce makes it a little more spicy and delicious. In the best way.
  
  The girls are really nice to me here as well, and the prices are ridiculously low. Low like me getting with your fiancé.
  
  The charro beans are tasty and salty and greasy and delicious exactly the way you wish charro beans would taste. I'm not sure what they are called on the menu. By the way my Tortas was the chilanga but I'm sure they are all just as amazing
  
  This is the kind of off the radar Hidden Gem that would act absolutely explode into hipsterdom if people knew how good the stuff is here. Come and get it while these places still exist.

  For Starters-- Literally, For Starters: Chips, come w House Beans.
  
  Restaurant & Restroom were Clean. Service was Great. Food was Fast & Delicious.

  FYI: the 'large' torta is a LARGE Torta.
