Austin Chronicle
Only a quite over-the-top character played by Raquel Welch strikes any false note. Otherwise, Tortilla Soup is a real chef's special. - 83
Entertainment Weekly
At times, the movie smacks of a standard-issue Hollywood chick flick, especially in the obligatory scene where the women bond by singing and dancing in a kitchen (to Doris Day's ''Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps''). - 80
Los Angeles Times
As tasty and nourishing as one of Martin's finest meals. - 75
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
In spirit and nuance, this is an amazingly faithful remake. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
The movie is cast so well that the actors bring life to their predictable destinies, and Elizondo casts a kind of magical warm spell over them all. - 75
Philadelphia Inquirer
Flavorful and fun. "Muy sabroso y divertido," as Martin might say. - 75
Miami Herald
Much of the charm in Tortilla Soup comes from Elizondo as Martín. He plays the devoted patriarch so alluringly. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
While this cheerful film has nothing particularly new to say about the ties that hold family members together even when they're driving each other crazy, it's a pleasure to watch such a talented ensemble at work.
