our chefs plenty of food for thought to come up with new sandwich creations to satisfy
our gringo cravings.
And while we’re busy visualizing a torta truck parked next to
Chef Christian Guzman Rodriguez’s seafood truck, La Cevichera, on Potreros, we promise
to close out 2019 with at least twenty five more.
Buen Provecho!

The size of this sandwich alone takes some serious
strategizing just to get your mouth around it. Don’t forget a bib and a hearty
appetite. Food Confession? On a good day, we can do a double.

This
treasured, family recipe made of slow roasted pork with a blend of tomato sauce
and spicy salsa has stood the test of time but you’ll have to hire this Guadalajara
born private chef just to get a taste.
This
dish is perfect as a solo for any fiesta; always our excuse for having
more than one.

If it’s chicken you’re craving, the slow, smoked essence of
Bovine’s chicken piled between two slices of toasted bread is definitely worth
the wait. Pair
it with their legendary French onion soup (or should we say an order of cheese
with a side of onion soup) and you’ve just devoured one SMA’s most celebrated
lunches.
Faster than you can say Uriel Jonathan
Frausto Tabares, keep on celebrating with a contemporary,
late afternoon cocktail or your favorite glass of wine. This could easily
become our favorite weekly habit.

The
best French Dip in SMA is made the classic way: a crusty roll, thin shavings of rare, slow-cooked beef and a small
cup of drippings for dunking.
Savor
every bite because chances are you’ll want to do the same thing all over again
tomorrow.

Chef Pablo Nicasio
makes magic in the kitchen, especially when it comes to creating tortas. Who else can use a simple ingredient like
salted beef and take it the next level? Nicasio changes up the menu often so
chances are they’ll have another torta on the menu the next time you pop in.
Dig in; you can’t go wrong with anything you order here.

9. Cochinita Pibil Ahogada @Jacinto 1930
This
textbook mix of typical, Mexican ingredients adds to the delight of eating it
with a knife and a fork. Luckily, it
also comes with a spoon. We missed it the first time around and playfully got caught in the act of trying to
lick the bowl.

14. Torta de Chilaquil @ Le Mexicain Bistro
Torta de Chilaquil is a popular dish in Mexico
City and it’s our favorite dish on Le Mexicain
Bistro’s breakfast menu. Don’t count the calories in this sandwich; it’s an
overkill of carbs but it’s one of our favorite reasons to get out of bed. We liked this crunchy double even
better when we got the bill.

15. Chicken Sandwich with mole and apple salad@San Mezcal
If
you catch all of the mole dripping down your chin without a napkin, we’ll personally
pack you a second. Wash down this Mexican moment with a double shot of smoky mescal.
Take your pick; San Mezcal has over 100 labels to pick from.
There,
now, wasn’t that the quickest trip to Oaxaca you’ve ever made without going to

Summer
can’t come soon enough with these paper-thin slices of red and green tomatoes topped
off with the usual bacon and lettuce with a smoky smear of chipotle mayo. It’s
even better with a double portion of bacon. Wrap it in bacon and we’ll take a
dozen to go.

18. Apple and Brie Sandwich@Nomada cocina de interpretacion
It was a great day for
vegetarians in SMA when we found our former Marchanta favorite on the menu at
Nomada.
With all the layering
of textures and flavors, this sandwich is a feast in itself. Besides, we like
going meatless once a week. (photo above)
