Holy cow and pig, La Hechizera!

A reader sent me to Tortas la Hechizera after I reviewed the tortas at Flash a couple of weeks ago. We *think* hechizera means “enchantress”, and even if it doesn’t, that’s still what it is. I’m obsessed with her.

The menu also includes enchiladas, quesadillas and huaraches. But I’m there for the tortas, which come not just with lunchmeat or maybe some chicken or pork, but with many combinations of things.

The first time, I ordered one that came with ham, chorizo and cheese, along with refried beans, avocado, lettuce, tomato and onion, with a dark red chile salsa on the side. It’s a huge sandwich, but it’s not messy, and each bite is mouthful of melty, cheesy, chorizo-y YES.

The second time, I ordered the D.F., which has all of the above, plus milanesa, which is like wiener schnitzel. I could live without the wiener schnitzel.

On the menu at La Hechizera, there are two what must be very, very grande sandwiches that cost $13.39. The “Milenio” comes with ham, pork, turkey, beef fajita, hot dogs and two kinds of cheese. You know, plus the beans and avocado, etc.

The tortas at La Hechizera are big enough for two people, and at around $7 apiece, they make a delicious lunch for two.
