Torteria La Texcocana

Texcocana - Review - Centro Histórico - Mexico City - The Infatuation

"Open since 1936 in Centro Histórico (their youngerJuárezsibling has been around for a breezy 35 years), this tiny, standing-room-only tortería with tremendous old-school charm is a legend for nailing the four-to-five-bite cold torta. Their carnitas torta layered with guacamole and smoky chipotle salsa is made right in front of you at a curved glass counter by someone who’s clearly been perfecting the move for decades. The bacalao torta, a rare year-round offering that’s salty and garlicky, is also a must, especially if you tack on an extra avocado for a few extra pesos, which you can since a torta here clocks in at only $2–$3. So go ahead and order two." - Guillaume Guevara
