Artem’s scoresNo overall score · Taste 9/10A sandwich with
plenty to say.
Tortas are Mexican sandwiches, and this is one of Artem’s strongest recommendations so far. His visit notes call these his favorite tortas in the city. The photographed plate makes the portion size clear: a large, filled sandwich served alongside fries.
The menu ranges from La Playense, with turkey ham and cheese, to fuller combinations such as Cubana and Gobernator. There is also a vegetarian option. Artem separately praised the choice of juices and fruit drinks.
Taste: 9/10. Portion size: 10/10. Value for money: 7/10. These are Artem’s own category scores; he did not give an overall score.
