The first time I tried this place I was wholly unimpressed. Just like any other little restaurant serving somewhere between Mexican and American food except the rice was terrible. I had to wonder why there was a constant stream of people unlike the sad pizza/sandwich/donut place next door.
The second time I tried this place I was hungry and too lazy to go anywhere else. I slipped out of my pjs, which I'd been in all day typing away at my paper, into some acceptable outdoor clothes to walk down the block, and ordered myself a torta. I ordered it so I could avoid the rice. Haha. I did not regret it.
Oh, man, was this a delicious and well-put-together sandwich. The lettuce and tomatoes were nothing to write home about but they provided a crunchy and fresh pause from the creamy pinto beans and avocado and somewhat dry meat. The bread was the perfect balance of fluff and firm to keep from falling apart from the pinto beans scooped over each slice.
I enjoyed the torta so much that when my brother came to visit me a few days later I opted for it again. I tried the rice from my brother's plate and confirmed that I just don't like it. I think I'll just avoid it. The torta on the other hand might keep me from exploring the other items on the menu. Yum.
