\nA hunger quelling visit to Ricos Tacos, 505 51st St in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, featured this Pierna Adobada Torta. A torta is an over-the-top Mexican sandwich; it begins with perfectly fresh bread from which some of the fluffing has been removed to make room for your specifications \u2013 from the aforementioned top burrowing down through the strata, ours were chiles en vinagre (pickled chilies), avocado, fresh onion, tomato, quesillo (a soft, white, Oaxacan pasta filata string cheese not unlike mozzarella), and saut\u00e9ed onion from the pierna adobada, roasted pork leg in adobo sauce, the star of the show. Top notch.<\/p>\n

Given the choice between a torta and a cemita (a different type of Mexican sandwich that features a sesame seed bun and p\u00e1palo, one of my favorite herbs), I generally choose the latter, but it didn\u2019t appear on the menu. As we were leaving, I discovered that they do indeed serve these gems, had I only asked. I didn\u2019t know. But now you do. \u00a1La pr\u00f3xima vez!
