About
A local torta chain with a handful of Valley stores, this one on McDowell near 26th Street. The tortas are cooked a la plancha or on the grill, and the one to know is the torta ahogada: pork drowned in house chile-tomato sauce, mild, medium or hot.
The ahogada comes topped with cream, onions and beans, so it's a sit-down sandwich, not one for the car. Pick your heat level when you order. The same company runs the other Tortas Paquime stores on West Indian School, West Van Buren, South Central and in Avondale; this listing is the McDowell Road store. Hours vary by location and aren't published on the company site, so check a delivery app or call ahead.
