La Casita Chilanga

Best Sandwiches in Oakland, Berkeley, and the East Bay | Eater SF

"This family-run, Mexico City-focused pop-up has been one of the stars of Richmond’s burgeoning quesabirria scene since 2019, but head taquera Laura Rivera’s best dish is actually her pambazo, a kind of sauce-soaked sandwich — loaded with chorizo, soft-cooked potatoes, fresh lettuce, and Cotija cheese — that’s popular in Mexico City. The beauty of the sandwich is that the telera roll gets soaked in a flavorful red chile sauce before it’s toasted on flat-top, so it winds up equal parts crunchy and soggy — a true textural delight. The pop-up’s exact hours and location are subject to change; check Instagram for pre-ordering information and the latest updates." - Luke Tsai
