I love anything Hawaiian. Mildly off topic, but Colombian restaurants are known to put pineapple, ham and crushed potato chips on hotdogs and hamburgers. I used to get Hawaiianas tortas at a grocer, Guerrero Market (or something similar) on 5th Ave. around 24th St. It says Supertortas on the front window. Did you torta really have mole on it? I’m curious because I don’t think that’s a traditional topping.

matty, while im prone to agree with you, having grown up in the southwest... but surprisingly, i've found somewhere that actually gets me stoked on mexican food. and where is is? ditmas park! CINCO DE MAYO on cortelyou and westminster. jess, i know what you mean.. whenever i see ditmas park in a blog post i tense up.

That looks foul. NYC has the worst mexican food ever.

There is a tiny, authentic Mexican place by me in Astoria (34th Ave and 33rd St) that has amazing torta's. They have tongue on the menu, though I am not brave enough to order it!

Argh. Stop reviewing things in my neighborhood, Gothamist. People will start thinking it's cool, they'll all start to move here, and next thing you know, I'll be paying twice as much rent as I do now, and Bukhara and the torterias will be replaced with a Pier 1 and a Houlihan's.
