Who likes tortas?

[peewee's lovechild]

Tortas are the BEST!!! I grew up eating them. My favorite is to have the Al Pastor (shredded pork) or Cochinita Pibil (roast pork). I remember going to big ass markets in Mexico City as a kid and buying the best tortas.

In SA you can go to any Taqueria Jalisco and get one. They even have locations on the norfside now. There is a place at the intersection of Nogalitos and Zarzamora called Los Valles that has good ones. You can also get a mango agua fresca to go with it. If you're a northside gringo and are afraid to venture into the souf and wessides of town you can go to Beto's on Broadway in the 09er part of town. They're pretty good there too but in that 09er kind of way.

Provecho!

The one's at Beto's are slightly above acceptable.
They're too "white".

I like my tortas Mexican style.

Al pastor shredded? Whenever I get al pastor over in Mexico, it's usually a huge chunk of meat spinning on a rotisserie and the cook takes a big knife and starts just hacking pieces off until my tortilla or roll is filled. Out here in SoCal and in Baja, carnitas are the shredded pork.

Where I come from, and pretty much all of North Mexico, that meat on a "spinning rotisserie" (a blend of pork and beef) is called "trompo".

It's some really good , but I'm allergic to pork so I always to take some Benadryl before or after I eat it.

It depends on my mood. I might prefer the torta.

But, I love a good gordita.
