The best Mexican torta that I've had so far is at Nuevo Mexico on 5th Avenue in Brooklyn, between 11th and 12th Streets, but I'm looking for more suggestions. I've also tried tortas at Celixico on Union Street and Oaxaca on Smith Street, both in Brooklyn, and at Pinche Taqueria on Lafayette in Manhattan, none of which impressed me.

The El Angelo taco truck makes decent milanesa but fantastic chorizo. I have heard good things about Cafe Ollin, supposedly they are the best in the city, but I have yet to verify. Stay away from the Torta Truck in Spanish Harlem. Not very good.

I had to ask for extra lime and tapatios because there wasn't even a bottle on the table. Oh yeah and the tacos sucked too.
