Description:
LA Torta LOCA No 1 510-532-7105
From SF Chronicle article: "It's the chorizo-stuffed pambazo (big grilled sandwich) and huitlacoche huaraches (super-thick oval tortillas) from Mexico City, dispensed all day long from the busy window of La Torta Loca. "

"Some of International Boulevard's best food is fast and portable -- 'comida rapida' -- starting at the busy La Torta Loca window, just south of the new Fruitvale Village development around the BART station. A steady stream of people -- laborers on cell phones, kids, shoppers, couples on a date -- swing by all day for Valentino Torres' Mexico City-style food.

"That means fat, grilled, meat-stuffed tortas and their bigger cousins, pambazos, made from a softer bread that's filled, slathered in chile sauce and grilled to a crisp.

"The torta Milanese, stuffed with a breaded pork cutlet, is the most popular item here. But aficionados head for the pambazo filled with La Torta Loca's famous chorizo, with potatoes, red sauce, crema, the whole pinata. It's enough for a family of three.

"La Torta Loca also specializes in masa boats of various shapes -- huaraches and sopes topped with whatever you choose, including the black fungus called huitlacoche and fried squash blossoms."
