Man. Now that is a torta. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what you're seeing is an eloquent argument for why the Mexican sandwich is deserving of its own banh mi-like renaissance. Snapped -- and then inhaled -- by a reader at Midtown Lunch, this appears to be an elegantly and satisfyingly proportioned combination of sirloin, avocado, cheese and tomato, anointed with just a whisper of creamy dressing. The Web site's name notwithstanding, this is a sandwich that could easily encompass breakfast, lunch and dinner, leaving room for only a Mexican Coke or, better yet, an ice-cold Negra Modelo. Apologies if you were planning something, y'know, light for lunch.

The best torta I've ever had was at Frontera Fresco grill for lunch. It had grilled steak avocado, red onions, black bean spread, salad greens, pickled tomatoes and chipotle cream. It was deliccccious!
