"Operating out of a food truck on the corner of Hilltop and Main, El Tio Pepe’s first outpost north of the border delivers a faithful recreation of the torta ahogada — bolillo salado rolls stuffed with carnitas and soaked in a chile de arbol and sauce— which has made Pepe Plascencia’s Tijuana and Rosarito outlets a hit. Other items include tacos and quesadillas loaded with the same carnitas packed into tortas and piping-hot birria." - Mario A. Cortez
