The one to order

The torta de chilaquiles with green salsa and a milanesa

The line to expect: A line at breakfast every day; it moves. Closes when it sells out, around midday.

A corner stand that fills a bolillo with chilaquiles; Condesa lines up for it every morning.

Torta de milanesa (Mexico City torta)

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.
