Food porn




Within the past few weeks, my cravings for Mexican food (namely delicious tortas) has been pretty much out of control and Thao and Max have been along for the ride. Here are some pretty cool places that I have tried out so far:

1. Cow cheek and tongue tacos and tortas at La Oaxaquena Taqueria in Jonesboro are insanely good. Not to mention, they have the best flan I have ever tasted (and I consider myself to be a Flan-connoisseur of sorts).

2. The marinated pork torta at Casa del Pollo right across the street from where I work in Forest Park is amazing. I love that they added pineapple chunks along with the pork and Gorgonzola cheese. SO GOOD. The quesadilla, however, was pretty weak. As you can see from the pic, it's all filler and no killer.

3. Even though Las Tortas Locas is a chain that has been around for some time, Thao and I decided to give it a try for the first time last weekend and gave the Buford HWY location a visit--and were pleasantly surprised. While these fast-food versions didn't quite stack up with other restaurant-quality sammiches, it still hit the spot. Thao's carne asada torta had a really nice kick to it.

Stay tuned for more food porn!
