SFist

This spot does a glorious torta sandwich . It includes refried beans , avocado , queso fresco , onions , mayo , and a chile of choice. Go for the pulled pork as a meat choice if you're a carnivore. Read more

Eater

The pierna enchilada (pulled pork ) torta is the perennial, but they're all good, and huge; no need to order the large unless you've got a hefty appetite or a hellish hangover. Read more

Staff Picks

It's no secret that this place has the best tortas in town . Grab a Mega Cubana today for lunch , but be sure to order a junior. The regular size sandwiches here could feed a family. Read more

Anton Shuster

Vegetarians should get the rajas con queso , filled with slices of roasted poblano pepper , Oaxaca cheese , and queso fresco , with guacamole , refried beans , and pickled jalapeños .

One of the most authentic Mexican food in SF. The tlacoyos and tortas are amazing. Don’t forget to get an Atole. Perfect for a cold morning

Serious Eats

The rajas torta is killer--the best thing on the menu. The large tortas are LARGE. A small is more than enough for a normal sized lunch .

Abhishek Kona

The Breakfast dishes are amazing. Awesome choice very fresh and filling. One of my favorite breakfast places in the mission

Eater

When a "hole-in-the-wall" turns out to be a bright family-run stop with outrageously good tortas and super authentic Puebla eats; that's 38 material. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Bobbie McLellan

Hell yeah. This is there pulled pork Sando . The mega Cubana sounds out of this world.

Vansi

Check for avocado on your sandwich . Sometimes they skimp. But it's an amazing sandwich .

Zachary Reiss-Davis

Tortas come in a Junior and a Regular size; the Junior is a reasonable meal, and the Regular is ridiculous, like the largest of super burritos . Try the al pastor .

Luke Andrews

The tortas really are gorda—the "junior" size is plenty. Love the milanesa torta personally, but everyone is not wrong about the pierna enchilada .

The tortas are as amazing as everyone says. The huitlacoche quesadilla was a bit disappointing though...

Ugur Kaner

Amazing tortas ! Try pulled pork with extra sauce.

Max K

Great chips and salsa . Very fresh pico de gallo .

Nope

The super-hot salsa is super-hot action. Great no-meat torta .

Get the chicken mole torta ; the junior is a regular meal, the regular is huge.
