Las Delicias offers a selection of ten different tortas —

• Steak
• Chicken
• Ham
• Milanesa (sliced breaded steak)
• Pork leg
• Pastor
• Chorizo
• Egg
• Cheese
• Cuban (pork leg, pastor, ham and cheese; this one costs a little more)

— as well as a “combination,” which allows you to pick two toppings. Pork leg, pastor and Cuban are my standbys, but on this day I was struggling to decide. So, I ordered a chorizo and egg torta and nicknamed it “Mexican Breakfast Sandwich.”

At first I was hesitant to order eggs from a menu that includes few egg dishes, but in my many previous experiences at Las Delicias the ingredients have been super-fresh. This was no different. The ground sausage was spicy and the scrambled eggs were just crumbly enough. It was a little messy, but isn’t that the hallmark of a great sandwich?

As always, we started with an order of Las Delicias’ famous made-to-order guacamole and split a bowl of chicken tortilla soup.

Pork leg torta from Las Delicias, Memphis, TN

I’ve always gotten the chicken tortilla soup at Las Delicias, but after two different people recommended I try the Aztec soup, I decided to give it a shot.

My review? Chicken tortilla, it’s been nice knowing ya. Thanks for the recommendation.

Pastor torta from Las Delicias, Memphis, TN. Not shown, of course, is their amazing guacamole which is at least 75% of the reason I go there. The tortas are are my favorite items on the menu. They cost like $4.75 and taste a heck of a lot better than a $5 footlong.
