@Hyperbowler’s post about cemitas at Los Carnalitos reminded me of a cemita I had at La Torta Gorda a while back. It was on the specials board. They asked me what meat I wanted with it, and I had it with chicken milanesa. Constructed on a hamburger like roll, topped with avocado, a smoky chipotle sauce, a bit of ham, and a humongous layer of stringy cheese. This was the first (or one of the first) cemita that I’ve had so I don’t know if this is typical or not. The cheese, while good, kind of overwhelmed everything. It was mostly cool in temperature. If I get a cemita next time I think I will ask for less cheese. I think I will stick with their tortas though.
