Tortas El Angel – The bread, the meat, the extras give Tortas El Angel its wings – Houston

More crumbs than I’ve ever seen in my life littered the formica tabletop at Tortas El Angel.

It was a happy spectacle. Each shard of crust represented a crackle of texture, a degree of lightness and snap in the football-size Mexican sandwich loaves that had been demolished in record time by my friend Mimi and me.

One of the custom-baked telera rolls commissioned by El Angel’s owners — soft inside, toasty and crisp without — had held a brick-red pork mixture marinated in pastor style, with ripe avocado slabs, iceberg lettuce cut as finely as excelsior, a swab of refried beans and a finishing smear of the house’s signature chipotle mayonnaise. Lurking among a few wisps of onion were long slices of pickled jalapeño, a touch that lit up all the flavors and textures of the sandwich. Adding a shot of the restaurant’s incendiary green sauce was beside the point.”*
