Nopalito's Torta De Chilorio

Nopalito is a very special restaurant located in San Francisco’s burgeoning Divisadero/Panhandle district.  A spinoff from sister restaurant Nopa, Nopalito specializes in fresh, California-cuisine inspired traditional Mexican food.  The sandwich offered is a traditional torta.  Served on a fresh, soft roll, they pile on shredded pork, jack cheese, refried beans, avocado, and cabbage salad, all served up with freshly fried, house-made potato chips that almost melt in your mouth.  Some may argue that any torta that costs almost $10 is not a real torta, like the ones they serve from food trucks in The Mission.  But Nopalito’s torta is superior, due to its high quality ingredients and careful construction.  A plus about Nopalito is that it serves continuously throughout the day, meaning that it does not close down between lunch and dinner, as some restaurants do.  If you show up around 3 o’clock, you should be able to sit right down without waiting.
