| In the middle of working-class Washington Avenue, this little fast-food joint serves a terrific lunch as in the rich and tangy tortilla soup full of rotisserie chicken, corn, avocado, cheese and tortilla strips. While hearty utilitarian Mexican breakfasts are served along with respectable rotisserie chicken, burritos and fajitas, the real treats are the fabulous sandwiches. We like the fish torta, served on a soft, dense flatbread called a bolillo. Other fine sandwiches served on French bread are the Cuban filled with ham and marinated pork with cheese; and the Milanesa, filled with thinly sliced, breaded and fried beef layered with avocado, lettuce and tomato. |
