Mexican restaurant · Paramount

"This torta shop has a cheeky name (a Mexican abuelita would not approve), but that’s part of the charm. This Paramount shop makes unapologetically huge tortas, so big they’re comical. And the sandwiches’ names lean into absurdity, too. There’s La Mamalona (expletive beep) that manages to fit grilled hot dogs, chorizo, ham, milanesa, and steak into a modest toasted telera roll. This meatpalooza spills out the sides and hangs into the bread by a thread of melted cheese, forcing you to eat this sitting down (and maybe wearing a bib.) Is it a bit much? Sure, but it’s delicious, especially with their spicy curitdo and punchy salsa roja." - sylvio martins
