La Torta Gorda

"Love the veggie torta here. Reasonably priced. Very friendly staff. Always the same flavor. Always the tastiest flavor!"

"As an SF native, I'm ashamed I just visited this delicious slice of torta heaven now. We had to try Food Networks 2015 #2 Best Sandwich in America - the Pierna Enchilada (Pulled Pork) - but all of the tortas looked delicious. I chose to have everything on it, and the amount of jalapenos did not disappoint. The torta is delicious and huge - everything you would want in the second best sandwich in america. I ordered the smaller size and could have split it with a friend. And the prices are still 2015 levels! Given that they have such esteemed dishes, the wait time was around 20 minutes on a weekday afternoon. There's no reservations or wait list so you have to stick around. It's well worth the wait, and there's a cozy patio in the back if the weather is nice. It may have have taken me decades to get here, but it definitely won't take that long for my next visit!"

"The pierna enchilada torta that SF Gate recently did an article on, covering the fact that it was voted Food Network's 2nd best sandwich in the country, is worth the hype. Went in today and it HIT THE SPOT. It has been about 4 hours and I'm still thinking about it. The meat was juicy and full of flavor, and the roll has a nice crispness to it while also being soft inside. Perfection. Go in and enjoy one. You will be a happy kid when you leave!"

"La Torta Gorda, located on 24 street, great place to have breakfast. Restaurant is next to Roosevelt Tamales, another restaurant institution in the area. The staff was very friendly and I ordered the Guava juice, a small Milanesa de Res, a breaded piece of meat with jalapeño, refried beans, avocado, and queso fresco all served on a mexican roll, we also got the Bacon, eggs with plenty of melted mozzarella cheese, I tried the taco Árabe that came on a flour tortilla with marinated pork; the food was served with three of the house sauces, a green guacamole sauce, the red chile de arbol sauce and a chipotle sauce, they are addicting, I spread the sauces one at a time in my sandwich and ended up serving more and more of the sauces up to the last bite of food."

"We had Carnitas Tortas and a Chicken Huaracha. For drinks we had Guava fresco and Cucumber with Chia Seeds fresco. It was all delicious and a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it."
