Torta.

 

[PSqueak]

As a mexican i don't think it's fair to pit them.

A torta is like an universal meal that is good at every time of the day, a burrito is something you eat when you're like hanging around with friends at night and go like "hey guys, let's go get burritos!", no one ever will pit you with the choice for one or the other.

Burritos vs Hotdogs is a more likely dilema.

 

[itwasTuesday]

i'ma go with the 'wet' burrito. taking a bite and that sauce just bursting in your mouth with flavor :3

also pls do not ruin your dishes with avocado and/or tomatoes ty

Only one negative about avocados... they are bad for dogs. Avocado all day.

 

[ReAxion]

If you're from San Diego don't mess this up with fries talk.

[Samurai G0SU]

^ LOL AT GIF. PERFECT LMAO

Idk, every torta i've had always fell apart because of all the extra salsa i need to add. Then there are parts where its just nothing but bread and avacado spread plus lettuce.

maybe a recommendation of what kind of Torta to get? I always get the Carne Asada, but i think i want my corn tortilla carne asada instead.

 

[Timedog]

Chimichanga. If they can't deep fry the burrito then torta.

 

[zeemumu]

 

[Goldfishking]

Never had a 'torta' so i guess i'd go with Burrito.

 

[Chris R]

Thats the base of an ahogada. If your sauce is shitty you'll end with a shitty and tasteless ahogada.

I know I need to try some more recipes out until I get close enough to tweak one to perfection.

 

[Bread]

If the burrito has rice, torta.

Otherwise burrito.

this guy

this guy gets it

 

[Einchy]

There's no way I can pick, it just can't be done.

 

[SoldierOfLight]

Team burrito.

Straight carne asada burritos, even cheese drowned burritos are GOAT.

[SpecX]

Tough choice, but I end up with a burrito most times.

 

[Raptor]

Tortas and is not even close.

This badboys are called Tortas de la barda!

 

[Viewt]

Put me on Team Torta. I like burritos just fine, but a good chorizo torta is king.

 

[Secret Character]

Tortas are far superior to burritos. I've tried converting many, but people are so stubborn in their ways of liking the burrito.

 

[HellforLeather]

Burrito, gotta have that tortilla

Spoiler

but its gotta be a good tortilla

 

[dantevsninjas]

Burrito all the way. Also, none of this weird wet burrito nonsense; that's an enchilada.

Spoiler

Yes, I know that technically it's not an enchilada but it's a goddamn enchilada.

 

[Heavy Iron Industries]

I've never had a torta.

Man, i've yet to live.

 

[Haly]

Yeah just posting pictures don't mind me.

 

[Tortahegeszto]

OP you confused the crap out of me, since "torta" means cake in my native language.

 

[pablito]

Burritos all day.

Tortas are cool, too.

 

[Stormhammer]

Yeah just posting pictures don't mind me.

is that a water bear

 

[NewFresh]

Tortas ahogadas forever.

 

[Strax]

I've never heard, said or seen the word Torta

 

[Jzero]

Burritos are overrated, it's all about the Torta life.

 

[Dai101]

The basic, jamon (made famous for El Chavo del Ocho)

Ahogada (Jalisco and some bordering states)

 

[Davidion]

Queens NY checking in. Of course, Tortas win.

 

[Eila]

It's just a sandwich. I don't eat them because look at the monsters posted so far. It's like a death sentence.

 

[Electric Eye]

Tortas are kinda limited in space like any sandwich whereas a burrito can go to infinity you just get a bigger tortilla and they are about the same price. Burrito

 

[AndyD]

Never had a torta. I'll check and see if our usual Mexican place makes them.

 

[Electric Eye]

This one knows.

What about gorditas? Tortas de arina con Chillorio anyone?

 

[jabuseika]

Tortas are often a bit bready for me honestly. I guess I'm going burrito but I really prefer tacos or a legit taquito.

That's because you are eating tortas with shitty bread, authentic tortas are made with bread so soft it melts in your mouth.

Then some places spread butter on the bread before toasting it a little, after that you dip or they dip the torta in a chilli sauce(the ahogada part) that is absolutely delicious.

Fuck I want one now.

You can get modestly cut single-filling tortas, the monsters the size of your heads are basically carnival food.

There's different types of bread used depending on the region.

It's still a lot of bread. I'd rather make a more modest sandwich. I used to have either that or tacos for dinner everyday. Had to quit to lose weight.

 

[CRS]

Both are relatively new "North American" variants on traditional Mexican cuisine. Neither has any great claim to authenticity other than ALL the components of a burrito can be mezo-American.

Say this about tortas in Jalisco and you're getting shot.

 

[Beardz]

Torta cubana

 

[Double D]

I have never even heard of a torta. This thread has me all jacked up. Quest accepted.

 

[Stinkles]

Jalisco is in north America.

 

[brau]

Torta. De Milanesa o Cubana.

So many different varieties tho. Burritos are good and all, but i go with my roots and what i grew up with as a mexican.

 

[the_batman]

Chimichangas

 

[Vlaphor]

If you are ever in Topeka, KS, then you have to try Tacos El Mexicano over on California St. Now, I know this a small demographic of people here, but I bring this up due to them having both amazing burritos and tortas. Whenever I go there, I always get the same thing, which is one bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and one steak torta and they are utterly amazing.

I've been there so much over the years that during a time when their credit card machine was down, they were willing to open a line of credit for me at the restaurant, so I could continue to have their amazing burritos/tortas.

 

[v1lla21]

Tortas are winning. All is right.

I used to go to this spanish restaurant in a club called Asturiano. They used sesame pinwheel bread and it made for amazing tortas. I wish i could find some pictures of them. Anyways. Bolillo o telera are usually the to go to. Good stuff.

 

[Danis Saur]

Tortas.

 

[Cess007]

Torta. Specially if it's of 'Carne Asada', with guacamole. Burrito hasn't ever been my thing.

 

[Kas]

Goddamn.

Makes me wish our town had more than Taco Bell and a place that makes burritos called Burrito Me.

Wish we had more Mexican places.

 

[FUME5]

Haven't heard of tortas, never had a burrito.

Soft tacos aren't bad, though. Fajitas are better.

This man knows the truth.

Brothers.
