"Speaking of Mexico City: Though the marvels of hand-held construction that are tortas likely weren’t invented here, CDMX has become their unofficial headquarters, with vendors on every corner hawking sandwiches whose enormity and array of fillings are unmatched elsewhere. And though singling out Tortas A Todo Madre is a bit of a cheat, in that it purportedly specializes in Juarez-style food (including hamburguesas), this Berkeley gem certainly makes its tortas in the spirit of the Ciudad. Glorious case in point: the torta Cubana, a tower of power with crispy diced beef, breaded ham, hot dogs, cheese, avocado, and much more." - Ruth Tobias
