This reminds me of Rancho San Miguel Market here in Sac. It is a warehouse style place with an EXTENSIVE prepared food counter. All your carnitas, asada, lengua, etc available by weight. Also a bakery with HUGE conchas. That is not a euphemism.

What about tortilla soup?
I used to order it first time at a new place to see there way of making it.

I would guess that “tortilla soup” is as varied as “pot roast”. Every cook makes it differently depending on the season and ingredients at hand. The measure of tortilla soup is probably best taken as the authenticity (there’s that word!) of the flavors and much less about individual ingredients. The worst tortilla soup I ever had came out of a kitchen that had a lot of Hispanic-looking faces in it, but the broth tasted like weak Better Then Bouillon with a handful of tortilla chips tossed in.

I had the Sobre Masa video pop up in my Youtube feed just now. Brooklyn guy, originally from Oaxaca, who makes his own tortillas. Interesting to see his take on it.
