What is a Mexican torta?

The Mexican torta is a traditional sandwich from Mexico made with artisan bread grilled on the plancha, usually with refried beans, guacamole, protein (pastor, carnitas, suadero, birria, etc.), cheese, lettuce, tomato and crema. At Amor al Taco we make them with fresh bread and protein cooked to order.

How much do tortas cost at Amor al Taco?

Our tortas range from COP 27,900 to COP 34,900 depending on the protein. The birria torta is the most expensive (COP 34,900) due to the slow cooking of the meat.

Do you make vegetarian tortas?

We don't currently have a vegetarian torta on the menu. But we do have vegetarian burros, cheese or veggie quesadillas, and vegetarian tacos.

The authentic Mexican torta

The torta is the quintessential Mexican sandwich: artisan bread (telera or bolillo) grilled on the plancha, spread with guacamole, protein cooked to order, and the toppings each filling calls for. At Amor al Taco we call them "Tortas de la Chingada" — because they're big, intense, and honest. (In Mexican slang, "de la chingada" means "incredibly good" or "no-holds-barred" — it's a culinary compliment, not a curse word.)

Every torta comes with guacamole, red salsa and corn tortilla chips. Bread crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, served warm. It weighs what it should weigh.

Why do we call it "torta de la chingada"?

"De la chingada" is colloquial Mexican slang meaning "incredibly good", "intense", "no-holds-barred". It is not a curse word in this context — it is a culinary compliment. A "torta de la chingada" is a torta that knocks you out, that makes you close your eyes at the first bite. And that's exactly what we're after.
