"Perched atop the second floor of the Highland Queen Plaza in Renton, Tortas Ahogadas Y Tacos Atemajac specializes in the cuisine of Guadalajara in the western Mexican state of Jalisco. The star of the show is the torta ahogada — carnitas stuffed in a birote roll, drenched in a tangy salsa of tomato and chile de arbol alongside tacos dorados and vegetable accompaniments. But the rest of the menu is also exceptional: the tortas have a perfect ratio of filling of choice, cheese, and condiments, the sopes are hearty, and the tacos de barbacoa are juicy and aromatic. Tortas Ahogadas Y Tacos Atemajac is open for takeout and onsite dining." - Brett Bankson
