La Pierna Enchilada Torta at La Torta Gorda - #39 on 2012 7x7 SF's Top 100 Eats

I had high hopes for this torta as I saw it being pressed on the grill.  The regular size is massive.  Definitely more than enough for two people to share.   The generous heaping of pulled pork was flavorless and disappointing.  There was supposed to be avocado inside, but I didnt see any.  Actually it was supposed to have pulled pork, refried beans, avocado, queso fresco, jalapenos, onions, and mayo, but the only thing I was able to distinguish was the pulled pork and the refried beans.  The bread could have also been pressed a little longer to make a more crispy contrast.  Better luck getting a torta at La Casita Chilanga  (see my post HERE)
