In a mini small off Mount Vernon in Colton, I got a torta con carnitas, a beautifully made torta with the carnitas tender and perfectly salty, topped with lettuce, onions, cilantro and just enough avocado --the kind that just melts in your mouth. I also got a ton of condiments--pickled jalapenos, although they have the toasted ones too, and carrots and onions, but I was too busy with this torta. I washed it down with a pineapple coke, but my buddies had brought in from next store wonderfully tasting liquados de fresas--strawberry shakes--that were so damning I would have cried to have one, they were that good. I didn't have to eat the rest of the day. Tortas Las Glorias (909) 370-1320, 1197 N. Mt.

How in the world did you end up in Colton - business trip? And how did you find out about this place?

It was tough and chewy (not many places make it well). But my partner's veggie-tarian torta looked (and tasted) fabulous. Ask for extra jalapenos. And the liquados were delicious. Too bad there was no air conditioning that day! Thu May 17 20:36:13 -0700 2007 2494599 16447 Yummy Sound 2 2581247 Yummy, do you know anything about their burritos? That's my fave.
