"Mexican sandwiches — aka tortas — are the raison d’être at this snug mom-and-pop, which offers about 18 different sandwiches, most stacked with fresh avocado, lettuce, tomato, and jalapeño, all tucked into toasted, golden-brown bread. Standouts include the al pastor (pastor-style marinated pork with bacon and onion), the Alambre (asada with bacon, onion, bell pepper and cheese), and the Cubana (pork pierna, breaded steak, ham, and cheese), but brave hearts might opt for the seriously spicy ahogada or the crunchy, fatty colitas de pavo (fried turkey tails). Wash everything down with fresh, foamy aguas frescas." - Nikki Buchanan
