alas, all of these are more expensive than what they should be, some more than double. and none of them have the bun right. i don't think we should call these tortas.
If it's called a torta, it's got to be on a torta roll. Barriga Llena gets it right. Everything else is a really good sandwich with Mexican type fillings.
@5 - authentic Mexican tortas can be made with telera, which is a softer bread like that of Rancho Bravo, or crustier bread like birote which the other two appear to have.
Antojitos Teresita 23311 Pac Hiway South. Damm good Tortas even better than Bariga Llena. Get a sliced mango in a cup with chile and lime to complete a great meal. Even better than the torta is the Costillas con Nopales.
Rancho Bravo is the 4th worst Mexican restaurant in the world. It's like prison food, too much cilantro and the worst marinated meats ever. It's nasty! White folks love it though. They pack that dirty joint all the time. The Tortas at Barriga Llena are chilango style tortas, quite good and spicy.
Or I'd hitch a ride to Paseo in Fremont..
Basically I wouldn't be trying to eat a torta while in Cap Hill. I'd go beans N rice Y'all!
next time, I'm getting a motherfucking torta!
@3 It's the El Patron and yes, it is a fucking pork orgasm in your mouth. I think it costs 8.50ish and it's messy, but sooo sooo worth it.
