[San Francisco, Mission] La Torta Gorda

I want to revisit their cemita— I was there last week and noticed the bread had a darker brown hue. Unfortunately, the sandwich wasn’t yet available because papalo wasn’t going to be delivered for another hour.

Instead, got our typical order of rajas con queso torta and a chicken mole plate, both as good as ever. We also got a giant taco, on a handmade tortilla.

I’ve noticed that main dishes have industrial tortillas, and the taco, huaraches, and other fresh masa items come directly from La Palma across the street— With this in mind, La Torta Gorda’s back patio is a great way to enjoy La Palma’s bounty, licuado in hand.
