"This is where East LA residents have been getting their torta ahogada fix for decades, where the ends of the “authentic birote salado” are sliced off, restaurant-style. There are plenty of bargains for hungry families calling in large orders. Soothe the blistered corners of your mouth with ice cold Estrellas, an iconic beer from Jalisco, while browsing black and white photos of old Guadalajara in the heart of East LA." - Bill Esparza
