It's more manageable. The flavors aren't muted by rice. I can taste the cilantro, the jalapeños, the citrus in the mayo, the char on the meat. I can eat it in one hand. I just had an Asada torta. Mrs. Stinkles had a burrito. It was no contest.

 

[xxracerxx]

Not all burritos have rice in them. And who is making a burrito you cannot eat one handed?

 

[Log4Girlz]

Ok...so I can have both right?

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Tortas are amazing and a great change from burritos, but I don't think they are better.

The good places.

I'm talking about default. I mean, I could have a burrito on a roll, with no rice, then it would be a torta...

In the US we call the picture you linked a sandwich.

 

[entremet]

Tortas are sandwiches?

A burrito is something wrapped in a tortilla. Rice is not a default state of burritohood.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

I am IN the US, where we call an exquisitely Mexican sandwich a Torta.

 

[SolKane]

Isn't a torta just a sweet bread?

 

[ZoddGutts]

Burritos aren't suppose to have rice in it in the first place. Only the shitty places do that.

 

[maxxpower]

Didn't you know that bread is bad for you?

 

[Taco_Human]

Homemade beats any store bought food. Disclaimer: only applies if you are and have Hispanic parents.

Lucky guy right here.

Sammiches are nice Stinkles, but look at these bad boys

Look me in the face and tell me those don't look delicious.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Man, I love me some Tortas.

I'm sorry OP but these are tortas:

Thank you Taco_Human. I will take you for your word.

This is in a way incorrect. Plenty of amazing burrito places put rice in them. And MOST burrito places put rice in them.

Go back to Europe

 

[EatinOlives]

Fucking this

Now I'm hungry. Thanks, OP.

EDIT: These are technically "cemitas".

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Oh hell yeah. Carnitas torta to go please.

Ask for no rice if you think it drowns out the flavor.

Most California style places put rice in them. You don't see that in Texas and New Mexico other than in the chains

 

[Konka]

Quesadillas are the best still anyway.

 

[Avixph]

Go back to Europe

It's not a European thing because in the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and other South American countries Tortas are cakes.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

So it's a sandwich? A baguette, perhaps?

Tortes?

Next level right here.

Ooh, imagine if they put a taco in a pretzel shell. Or a croissant!

My favorites have rice in them, but I've had amazing with and without.

Burritos are the best ever forever and ever, amen.

Oh my goodness yes. Al pastor is the bees knees. There is this little Mexican supermarket next to me that has the giant spinning pork thing right behind the petite cashier, perfectly framing her with glistening salty meat.

 

[Devolution]

The best burrito I've had is a homemade pastor burrito that was all meat.

Also you chose my dinner tonight, grats.

Tortes?

No, not like those more like:

What's your favorite burrito place in the NE Devo? I love King Burrito in the N but I am equally close to Alberta and the like.

 

[YoungHav]

most burritos I've encountered can't be one handed. Shit just breaks. Never tried a torta, will get.

Get cake out of this thread. Please.

 

[Log4Girlz]

What if someone made a Tortito?

 

[Rorschach]

We had a thread about this. Tortas are awesome when you get the right one. Most places here in SD suck at them or are barely average. Can't even get Gallo Giro level stuff let alone S rank LA stuff.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Or like a chimichanga torta/monte Christo deep fried sandwich thing? Oh my lord.

 

[Avixph]

That's a torta bro.

 

[many places]

No, not like those more like:

I'm almost positive the second pic is cornbread..

 

[BertramCooper]

This is turning into a biscuit/cookie-style shitshow.

 

[BlueTsunami]

You're a torta, BRO.

 

[many places]

Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

They are okay but tortas have exponentially more flavor and spice.

 

[Avixph]

They are made with both regular and corn flour.

 

[StopMakingSense]

As a San Diegan, rice in a burrito is bullshit.

 

[Luixfern]

Why are commies posting cornbread in here. OP is correct, Torta and torta ahogada can't be beat.
