Full Plot Details

Retired Mexican-American chef Martin Naranjo (Hector Elizondo) shares a Los Angeles, California house with his three gorgeous, but single, adult daughters. Though he long ago lost his ability to taste, Martin still lives to cook incredibly lavish dinners for his loved ones and to serve them in a family-style ritual at traditional sit-down meals. Although the women humor their father's old-fashioned ways, each of them is searching for fulfillment outside the family circle. College student Maribel (Tamara Mello) is growing increasingly frustrated with the singles scene and wants a steady man; gorgeous career woman Carmen (Jacqueline Obradors) is fed up with her boyfriend and his wandering eye; meanwhile, eldest daughter Leticia (Elizabeth Peña), who has suppressed her own romantic longings, senses something missing in her life. Things take a turn for the romantic when Dad, a widower, meets a vivacious divorcée on the lookout for a mate and each of his daughters, in turn, finds someone. But they'll all discover that the recipe for happiness may call for some unexpected ingredients.

Movie Reviews

Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenOnly a quite over-the-top character played by Raquel Welch strikes any false note. Otherwise, Tortilla Soup is a real chef's special.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Ed GonzalezA proud ode to Latino families and their guarded acclimation into American society.
Associated Press - 8/10 by Malcolm RitterAs delectable as the gourmet food it features.
Fresno Bee - 8/10 by Donald MunroIn the tradition of grand food films that capture the tangy jolt of a just-cut pepper, this genial family-relationships tale is easy on the eyes and downright taunting to the taste buds.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThe 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.
New York Post - 8/10 by Lou LumenickEnglish-language remakes of foreign films are usually suspect, but Tortilla Soup is the exception that proves the rule - a flavorful comedy about a food-centric Latino family in Los Angeles.
Kansas City Star - 8/10 by Robert W. ButlerA remake that follows the original point by point but is nevertheless far less satisfying.
Boston Phoenix - 8/10 by Peter KeoughThe recipe is the same; why does it taste so different? María Ripoll reheats the zesty stew of Ang Lee's Eat Drink Man Woman; the result is more sugar than spice.
Decent Films Guide - 8/10 by Steven D. GreydanusIsn’t the delicacy that Eat Drink Man Woman was… But on the level of comfort food this remake is enjoyable enough.
San Diego Metropolitan - 8/10 by Jean LowerisonThere's nothing original here, but the film is pleasant enough, and it's a pleasure to see Elizondo on the screen again. Peña, Obradors and Mello are fine as well.
