Plot: A remake of Ang Lee's family comedy Eat Drink Man Woman, Maria Ripoli's Hispanic-American ensemble feature set in Southern California about a veteran chef named Martin Naranjo (Hector Elizondo), who is slowly losing his sense of taste. He has three daughters, all of whom have chosen different paths. There is Letitia (Elizabeth Pena), the oldest and most repressed of the bunch, a rigid schoolteacher who is a member of the Christian faith. His youngest, Maribel (Tamara Mello), is the most assured, though plagued by doubts. His middle daughter Carmen (Jacqueline Obradors) is most like him and shares his taste for cooking, but has chosen a career as a corporate consultant, which makes for a more secure lifestyle. She is offered a high-profile job in Barcelona, which causes a rift in the family setting. Maribel soon finds herself drawn to a handsome Brazilian student (Nikolai Kinski), and Letitia is gaining affection for Orlando (Paul Rodriguez), an awkward ballplayer whom her students have sent mistaken love letters to without her knowing. Also at their dinners are a shy single mother (Constance Marie) and her obnoxious mother (Raquel Welch), who has her sights set on Martin's affections. Tortilla Soup is Maria Ripoli's second major feature, after her whimsical 1998 feature Twice Upon a Yesterday. ~ Jason Clark, All Movie Guide

straightforward story about a man who longs to hang on to tradition and wants his daughter to stay in his life, but his daughters show him they are their own persons...all of the women in the movie played their roles well...i liked raquel welch and she did a good job here...i won't give away the plot twist that happens at the end of the movie...but i'll say i definately didn't see it coming....hector elizondo has always been an underrated actor and he doesn't dissapoint...the scenes that show him cooking makes you want to learn mexican recipies....

This is just a plain old lovely movie. Nicely acted, incredible food scenes (eat first!), and lush music. Perfect for a movie when you want to relax and retire afterward with a smile.

The world is an hard place for people who grew up in east LA?
Caught between cultures with a father who makes every meal
an artistic master piece, the lives of these three daughters
go better than many others in our culture.
The Spanish-Latino culture old maids are those
who never found their Don Juan.
