La Casita Chilanga

La Casita Chilanga (original location)

 Literally a shack in the middle of rows of Mexican taquerias, this place makes amazingly authentic tortas.  Due to its popularly, this well loved spot has sprouted into a chain, but I find that this original location is the best of the bunch.   



La Niurka - pierna, jamon, milanesa de res, chorizo, and salchica

This sandwich is made from hot dogs, thin-cut beef, spicy sausage, slices of cured pork, and roast pork, essentially a vegetarian's (as well as your cardiologist's) nightmare.  Its pressed between two slices of proper DF torta bread.  So huge, its big enough to share (or to save half for later).  Yummy!
