Do you eat it with a knife and fork or just say fuck it and destroy your fingers?

Ahogada – means drowned

Looks good, the original torta ahogada you can only try it in Guadalajara because the birote salado can only be made there because of the climate. Some places flight the birote salado daily but is not the same. The special thing about the birote is that it doesn’t falls apart even when it is drowned in sauce. Usually the tortero asked you how spicy you want it. If you want it real spice it they drowned it first in a tomato sauce and then in a chile de Arbol sauce. Very popular to cure hang over.

Not saying it’s not good but it looks off. Bread, sauce and meat don’t check out. It looks more like a pambazo than a torta ahogada.

OMG 🤤 I die for these. I beg my SIL to make them every Christmas— I’d probably visit more often (I live 8 hrs away) if they bribed me with them
They’re sooo good that I assume there’s no way I could make them myself

Can’t find a good one outside of Jalisco.

Sorry to be that guy, but that’s not the right bread. This looks like bolillo, which doesn’t have the structural integrity of birote/pan salado to hold up to all that sauce. I’m sure it tasted great, but I imagine the bread was soggy and flabby.

So what does alhogada mean?

I need the internet version of smellovision. This looks delicious and messy.

It’s missing a taco dorado de papa as a side. I grew up in Guadalajara and they would always add one or two tacos with it. The best thing in the world is when they give it to you in a plastic bag and you eat it on the go.

One of my favorites at La Palapa in Santa Rosa, CA..I get carnitas and their molcajete salsa. Smokey and spicy salsa, salty carnitas, creamy guac and sour cream, crunchy lettuce, tangy pickled jalapeno and tomatoes, chewy buttery sourdough french roll. Oh man, my mouth is watering. Gotta make my way over sooner than later.
