El Cuadrilátero
No. 73The one to order
A torta cubana, or (if you're brave) the giant Gladiador
A torta shop founded by the retired luchador Súper Astro, full of wrestling masks; eat the Gladiador in 15 minutes and it's free.
Make it at home
Torta de milanesa (Mexico City torta)
40 min · 4 tortas. Mexico City's lunch: a soft bolillo or telera roll toasted on the griddle, spread with refried beans and mayo, piled with a crisp breaded steak, avocado, chipotles, tomato, onion and quesillo. The Cuadrilátero's giants stack every meat at once; start with one.
