Tortas Ahogadas Ameca

The 8 Best Spots For Pozole In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Tortas Ahogadas Ameca is a family-owned shop in Montebello known for its signature salsa-drenched tortas. These wet pork sandwiches are some of our favorites in the city, no matter how many red stains we collect while eating them, and the perfect half to a soup-sandwich order featuring Ameca’s pozole rojo. This crimson red broth is made with a blend of earthy-sweet ancho and guajillo peppers, and both the pork and hominy are simmered until they nearly disintegrate. A comforting lunch at Ameca’s has never failed us, but our sole suggestion is you don’t wear anything white to this meal." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park
