>The torta ahogada (drowned sandwich) is another iconic plato tapatío. Carnitas, which is confit of pork, is heaped on a birrote, as the crunchy roll is called, and bathed in a piquant sauce fragrant with clove, cinnamon and cumin. More warm sauces, spicy and less so, are served on the side. These are a mess to eat but well worth the effort. Don Ignacio has been putting these tortas together in this atmospheric spot since 1959 and shows no signs of slowing down.
