Finding Beyond

"Establishments like Tortas don Polo are best known for both their tasty tortas and stories."

Rulo Luna Ramos

"Tortas are the distinguished protagonists of the capital's street food. The smell that emerges from the griddle of a Torta stand is unmistakable for Chilangos, especially since there seems to be one on every corner. Don Polo cakes have a special place in our hearts not only for serving some of the best cakes in town, but also for being the inventors of the heroic Torta Cubana so many times."

Irene Arita

"It was just as I remembered it; buttered crusty bun, grilled and filled with layers of refried beans, avocado, ham, American style yellow cheese and a pile of their house pork roast. I added a generous amount of spicy vegetables to my Torta Cubana. Needless to say, I thought that, once back home, I had to recreate the experience."

El Dadaista Gastronómico

"Don Polo was the inventor of the Cuban cake (or at least, like dozens of torterías, he claims to have done so). Although today in the street stalls the Torta Cuban does not carry less than 10 ingredients, the version of Don Polo stands out for its simplicity: pork leg, ham and cheese. No ingredient overflows the telera bread."

The Grande Enchilada

"At fabulous Tortas Don Polo (there's a branch in the Mexico City airport, you lucky travelers), they heat everything in the grill; the ham, they melt the cheese, etc."

Xtreme Foodies

"This huge place prepares great tortas de pierna (oven roasted pork leg) as well as many other traditional torta options. The sandwich, served in a lightly crusty roll, is augmented by avocado, pickled or chipotle chilies, and, on request, melted cheese; no mayo in sight! These hearty sandwiches are best accompanied by fresh fruit juice or one of the myriad agua frescas."

"I ordered a cod torta, I was curious for some time, a torta with a kind of "pisto" consisting of tomato, potato and cod. Very tasty. I find it hard to say no and I have a good appetite... so I ordered another torta, this time with pork leg, it is my favorite, it was another great success. Very good ingredients."
