"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."

"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."

"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."
