Critics Consensus: An English remake of Ang Lee's Eat Drink Man Woman, Tortilla Soup is as charming and flavorful as the dishes it features.

Only some of the characterizations exhibit subtlety, though most of the performances have considerable charm.
Thanks to a perfectly blended ensemble led by Hector Elizondo, in his best screen role to date, Tortilla Soup is a warm-blooded winner with equal emphasis placed on taste buds and heartstrings.
Though the cast are willing, the movie plods along in need of the zingy flavours and hot spices we see going into Elizondo's cooking.
If your erotic inclinations tilt toward the table, Tortilla Soup will probably offer nothing short of hardcore pleasure. If not, but see it you must, close your eyes and think of other appetites.
The writers have swiped Lee's basic premise and main characters, while pretty much ignoring his skill and sensitivity.
A filling but unoriginal dish.
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.
A harmless comedy that will make your mouth water.
This movie has a lot of heart and soul into it.
Great filmmaking? No, but it's warmly enjoyable and a pleasant way to spend an evening.
Like a drunken karaoke version of a classic song, this derivative piece of filmmaking does little but blemish our memories of the magic it is trying to copy.
English-language Mexican-family version of Ang Lee's Eat Drink Man Woman doesn't duplicate the subtleties of the original.
Really great movie about family and acheiving dreams.
Super Reviewer
Funny and charming, but not as good as the original version of Ang Lee's. But the cooking is good and will make you hungry just watching them eat their dinners.
Love this movie! A Hispanic version of "Eat Drink Man Woman". Great!
