Tried a couple more tortas from La Torta Gorda. The first is the china poblana ($10.95 for Jr. size), which has chopped up carne asada, melted Oaxacan cheese, grilled cactus, and topped with more cheese (queso fresco). Very good, kind of like a cheesesteak filling-wise, with the addition of the slightly crunchy cactus strips. I think this may be my favorite sandwich here so far.
Also had a pambazos torta ($9.25 for Jr. size). The bread is covered with a bit of red chili sauce and then toasted on the grill so it forms kind of a spicy chili coating. Filled with a mix of potatoes with chorizo, then put into the bread with some shredded lettuce and a squirt of crema. Topped with a couple slices of queso fresco. This wasn’t bad but was a little bit of a carb overload for me. It’s basically a home fry potato sandwich with some cheese and a little bit of chorizo.
