Tortas Washmobile Originales

The Best Restaurants in Tijuana, Mexico | Eater San Diego

"While Tijuana’s regional torta may be the torta de lomo (tenderloin), the day Juan Manuel Hernández brought a bread roll to his taco stand to make himself a carne asada torta for lunch changed this border town forever. Arguably one of the best tortas in all of Mexico is simple —marinated steak cooked over mesquite that’s chopped and briefly placed in a steam pan then packed between a flour-dusted white pambazo roll spread with mayo and guacamole. The final touch, a pickled tomato and purple onion salad for a sandwich that’s an emblem of the city, which has outlasted the car wash that gave Tortas Washmobile its name." - Bill Esparza
