10 Great Tortas In Austin added to Google Docs

10 Great Tortas In Austin

The torta is one of the best sandwiches out there. Yep, we said it. And sure, we may have said something similar about banh mi, but there’s room for two at the top, right? Tortas - generally a hearty bolillo bread bun stuffed with meat, lettuce, tomato, jalapeno, and whatever else you can think of - are the all-too-often overlooked big sibling of the taco. And while they sit quietly in the corner, filling the torta-shaped hole in our hearts, we’ll continue screaming their name from the top of whatever passes for a mountaintop around here. Of course, we have no shortage of options here in Austin, but here are a few of our favorites.

Taqueria Mi Trailita is probably not somewhere you’ll stumble upon by chance - it’s a small trailer in a rocky gas station parking lot on Manor Rd - but the crowd of cars and people lined up to order will make you realize that this was no accident. We like to get the campechano torta here, for a little multi-meat sampling in every bite, but there are about a dozen options to choose from. And they come with cheese by default, which really helps to hold everything together.

Raphael Brion Mi Tradición $$$$ 8716 Research Blvd

We’re huge fans of Mi Tradicion, the panadería/restaurant with two locations - one on Research Boulevard in Wooten, the other on William Cannon and 35. Everything from the pan dulce to the blue corn tlacoyos and the al pastor tacos are consistently excellent. We’re also big fans of the tortas there, especially the Cubana, with breaded beef cutlets, ham, sausage, avocado, and chipotle mayo, all served on their fresh bolillo rolls. If you’re feeling tropical, get the Hawaiana - it’s the Cubana but with pineapple.

Nicolai McCrary El Primo Taco Truck $ $ $ $ Tacos , Mexican , Tex-Mex in Travis Heights $$$$ 2101 S 1st St

El Primo is one of our favorite spots in South Austin for tacos and tortas alike, and we’re certainly not alone. You’ll probably pull up to a long line and be quoted a wait time that’ll make you wonder if it’s all worth it. It is - just grab a cold drink at the convenience store they share a parking lot with, and try to find a small bit of shade under the lone tree casting a not-nearly-big-enough shadow. There are a few great options here, ranging from the rarely-sighted breakfast torta, all the way to the Super Torta that comes loaded with carne asada, al pastor, and ham - our personal favorite.

Nicolai McCrary Paprika ATX $$$$ 6519 N Lamar Blvd

Paprika is one of the newest spots on our list, but quickly becoming a favorite for tacos and tortas. The menu items here change from day to day (and even hour to hour), so be sure to take a look at their online menu before you head over. Interestingly, Paprika is one of the few places we’ve seen that pairs each sandwich with a different set of toppings. Our favorite is the torta de puerco, served with pickled habanero, red onion, “shrettuce,” and tomato. They also do a really great barbacoa torta with consome for dipping as a special sometimes - if you see it, get it. They’re currently located in the Michi parking lot, near Airport and Lamar.

Nicolai McCrary Habanero Mexican Cafe $$$$ 501 W Oltorf St

The folks at Habanero Cafe make some of our favorite fajitas in town, so it comes as no surprise that their beef fajita-stuffed torta is equally impressive. It also happens to be one of the cheapest options on our list, at just $5 for a fully-loaded sandwich. There’s also over a dozen other fillings you can choose from - like lengua, al pastor, and carnitas - and all of them great. They’re located in South Austin, near South 1st and Oltorf.

Nicolai McCrary Las Trancas $ $ $ $ Tacos in East Austin $$$$ 1210 E Cesar Chavez St

Las Trancas is one of Austin’s favorite spots for late night street tacos, and their close proximity to downtown near Cesar Chavez and I-35 makes them perfect for soaking up a little alcohol at the end of a long night out. These days, we find ourselves there at all hours of the day. We like the campechano here - it comes packed full of steak and chorizo, plus all of the usual toppings, like lettuce, tomato, and pickled jalapeno.

Raphael Brion Eldorado Taco y Torta Co. $$$$ 8023 Burnet Rd

Eldorado Taco y Torta Co. is a new concept from the popular neighborhood Tex-Mex restaurant Eldorado Cafe - it’s the latest addition to Kitchen United Mix, the cloud kitchen on Burnet Road. As the name might suggest, the focus is on tacos and tortas. On the sandwich front, there are more traditional options like a Cubano and a very good milanesa, both on a buttered and toasted bun, more akin to a baguette. There are also less traditional options like a banh mi torta and the ATX Cheesesteak Torta (with grilled sirloin, sauteed poblano, onion rajas, and jack cheese).

Nicolai McCrary La Fruta Feliz $ $ $ $ Tacos , Mexican , Tex-Mex in East Austin , MLK , Mueller $$$$ 3124 Manor Rd

Located on the East Side, near Airport and Manor, La Fruta Feliz is almost equal-parts juice bar and Mexican restaurant. While you can certainly get breakfast tacos here, we’re mostly fans of the lunch tacos and tortas. We usually like to get the barbacoa de chivo (barbecue goat) or the al pastor here. They’re also pretty massive, which is even more impressive when you see the startlingly-low price right of around $5. And make sure to throw in an incredibly refreshing melon aguas frescas, or one of their many signature juices.

Nicolai McCrary Lazarus Brewing Company $ $ $ $ Bar Food , Tacos in East Austin $$$$ 1902 E 6th St

Lazarus is probably best known as a great spot to grab some house-brewed beers on their expansive, East 6th patio. And after you’ve been there for a couple of hours, you’ve probably started flipping through the menu to find the small food section, consisting mostly of tacos, tortas, and a few small snacks. The torta here is big - we had to take the second half home - and packed full of your choice of meat (or black bean). Try out one of their rotating pilsners, grab a torta, and get situated on their shaded patio for some East Side people-watching.

Raphael Brion Lick It Up $$$$ 2908 Fruth St

Lick It Up is a food truck serving vegan Mexican bar food - like nachos, gorditas, and tacos - parked at Spider House Patio Bar & Cafe in West Campus. The tortas here, served on toasted telera bread, have different plant-based protein options like mushroom chorizo. Our favorite is the seitan milanesa that’s not nearly as heavy as breaded beef cutlets often are.

WorldCon 76 Program! RSS FEED OF POST WRITTEN BY FOZMEADOWS

After some recent shenanigans, the revised program for WorldCon 76 is now live, and looking very exciting! For anyone interested in my own appearances, I’m scheduled for the following events:

Original Characters: Putting the ‘Fan’ in Fantasy

Format: Panel 17 Aug 2018, Friday 10:00 – 11:00, 210C (San Jose Convention Center)

They say sharing is caring – and it’s no accident that many of the most successful story-worlds are those big enough for fans to make their own Jedi, benders, wizards, and ponies. What makes a universe ‘fan-friendly’, and what can and can’t you do with original characters?

Tex Thompson (M), Anna Meriano, Cecilia Tan, Elektra Hammond, Foz Meadows

Beyond Nuclear: Queer Families in SFF

17 Aug 2018, Friday 13:00 – 14:00, 212D (San Jose Convention Center)

Building a family is a lot like building a story — and in queer writing communities, we do a lot of both. Join our panelists for a discussion of the intersections of family, storytelling, and queer identity.

Foz Meadows (M), Bogi Takács, Rivers Solomon, Lila Garrott

Breaking Out of the Margins

Format: Panel

17 Aug 2018, Friday 18:00 – 19:00, 211D (San Jose Convention Center)

How do we get past the pernicious assumption that privileged creators can tread where they please, but marginalized creators need to stay in their lane? On this panel, marginalized creators discuss how identity informs creative output, even in stories that aren’t focused on identity issues.

Michi Trota (M), JY Yang, Foz Meadows, Caroline M. Yoachim, Sarah Kuhn

Reading: Hugo Finalist BookSmugglers

Format: Readings

17 Aug 2018, Friday 19:00 – 20:00, 211A (San Jose Convention Center)

BookSmugglers is one of the finalists for the Hugo for semi-prozine. Come hear some of the voices of BookSmugglers read.

Foz Meadows, Kate Elliott, SL Huang

Author vs Fan Ownership

Format: Panel

18 Aug 2018, Saturday 17:00 – 18:00, 210DH (San Jose Convention Center)

How much do readers “own” the books they read? Writing is a private art intended for public display. Once the story is out of the writer’s hands, it can take on a life of its own–inspiring fandoms, fantheories, and fan interpretations that can vary widely from the author’s. How much do the fans own the work? Can you (and should you) divorce the writer from their fiction? What is the writer’s role in participating via social media in debunking or encouraging fan theories? Can the author be “wrong” about their own work? Our panel of authors and expert fans discuss the various and increasingly complex interactions between work, author, and reader.

John Scalzi (M), Charles Payseur, Foz Meadows, Greg Hullender, Renay Williams, Eric Kaplan

Mythogenesis

Format: Panel

19 Aug 2018, Sunday 10:00 – 11:00, 210C (San Jose Convention Center)

Some of the great SF and Fantasy stories have their origins in myth, legend, and folklore. How have these tales grown from Yddgrasil’s roots and transformed into what we could call the mythology of today?

Heather Rose Jones, Lisa Goldstein, Roni Gosch, Tad Williams, Foz Meadows

What Does a Nontoxic Masculinity Look Like?

Format: Panel 19 Aug 2018, Sunday 14:00 – 15:00, 211C (San Jose Convention Center)

“Toxic masculinity” is one phrase for cultural norms of masculine identity and behavior that may be harmful to people of all genders and to the larger fabric of society. But if “precarious masculinity” has been the norm, what are the alternatives? Panelist discuss non-toxic, stable, positive masculinity and offer suggestions about how it manifests and who is modelling it.

Leigh Ann Hildebrand, Vanessa Rose Phin (M), Foz Meadows, Reuben Baron, Nino Cipri
