"El Mexicano (or Los Mexicanos, as it was previously known, though it appears to still be run by the same friendly folks) is one of the most reliable taco spots in a city full of great taco spots. But the best thing on the menu might be this gut-busting carnitas torta, a sandwich best split with a friend or ordered when you’ve got an especially large appetite. This monster of a sandwich comes overstuffed with tender, crispy-edged pork and fresh lettuce, tomato, and avocado, and it tastes especially delicious when you drizzle some of the taqueria’s good red salsa over the filling periodically." - Luke Tsai
