The 10 Best Torta Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Do not wear white to this restaurant, and do not eat these sandwiches at the office. This Montebello spot makes delicious tortas ahogadas, or pork sandwiches drenched in spoonfuls of spicy, tangy salsa roja. It’s drippy, messy, and flavorful, with the bright salsa soaking into the chewy, salty birote and juicy carnitas tucked inside. These tortas also come topped with pickled onions for bite. We suggest dining in to eat it fresh—just roll up your sleeves and maybe have an extra outfit in the car if you’re headed somewhere afterward." - sylvio martins
