Dishes to know on this menu

Torta: A Mexican sandwich, usually made on a bolillo, telera or another soft roll. Fillings can include milanesa, ham, carnitas, al pastor, eggs, avocado, beans, jalapeños and cheese. Several regional sandwiches belong to the larger torta family. Guadalajara's torta ahogada is "drowned" in sauce. Puebla's cemita uses a distinctive sesame-seeded roll and may include quesillo and pápalo. A pambazo is dipped in red chile sauce and griddled. On this menu as: Burritos, Bowls & Tortas · Traditional Mexican Tortas · Super Tortas.
Burritos: A flour tortilla wrapped around a filling. Northern Mexican burritos are often relatively slender and focused on one or two fillings such as beans, machaca or a guisado. In the United States, the form developed in several directions. San Francisco's Mission burrito is large and typically includes rice, beans and numerous fillings. San Diego's California burrito famously adds french fries. A wet burrito is covered in sauce and eaten with a knife and fork. On this menu as: Burritos, Bowls & Tortas · Burrito.
Churros: Lengths of ridged dough fried until crisp and coated with sugar, often cinnamon sugar. Mexican versions may be plain, filled with cajeta or other fillings, or served with chocolate or another dipping sauce. Churros have Iberian roots but a very long history of adaptation throughout Latin America. On this menu as: Cup of Churros · Filled Churro · Churro Party Tray.
Flautas & taquitos: Filled tortillas rolled tightly and fried until crisp, usually served with some combination of salsa, crema, cheese, lettuce or cabbage. The names flauta, taquito and taco dorado overlap considerably. In some restaurants, flautas are longer; some regions or restaurants distinguish them by tortilla type. Others use the terms almost interchangeably. The menu in front of you gets the final say. On this menu as: 6 Flautas · Flautas Ahogadas.
Birria: A richly seasoned meat stew associated with Jalisco, traditionally made with goat but now frequently prepared with beef as well. The meat is braised with dried chiles and spices and may be served in a bowl with broth or used as a taco filling. Modern birria tacos are often griddled after the tortillas are dipped in the cooking fat. Add cheese and you'll commonly see the name quesabirria. A cup of consomé for dipping often comes alongside. On this menu as: Quesabirrias Order.
Tamales: Masa wrapped around or alongside a filling, enclosed in a corn husk, banana leaf or other wrapper and steamed. Fillings vary enormously by region and can include pork or chicken in chile sauce, cheese and rajas, beans, vegetables, fruit and sweet preparations. The singular Spanish form is tamal, although "tamale" is common in English. Tamales are sold individually and by the dozen and are particularly prominent during holidays and celebrations. On this menu as: Tamales.
