"When you’re craving something greasy, crispy, and crunchy all at the same time, head to Carnitas El Momo to witness the “Aporkalypse”. That sounds like a lot for a midday sandwich, but wait until you catch a glimpse of this thing. Chopped pork shoulder, belly, and burnt ends are stuffed into a soft bolillo roll with onions, cilantro, a dash of salsa roja, and just the right amount of glorious carnitas fat. It’s those caramelized drippings that tie the flavors together and make this a torta we crave whenever we’re recovering from an eventful weekend." - sylvio martins
