Our friends Bernardo and Carlos at Tienda Latina, not only have Edmonton’s best shop for all things Latino, but they also make one helluva a great roast beef torta (sandwich).

If you are hungry at lunchtime, and happen to be driving by the intersection of Argyll Road and 99th Street (Edmonton) pull into the N.E. corner strip mall and walk in to Tienda Latina and order the roast beef sandwich.

It is served up on the freshest crusty bun, along with mayo, fresh crisp lettuce, real roast beef, tomato, avocado, red onion and a chili paste that will make you shout “OLE!” followed by a mariachi band playing in your head for the remainder of the day.

Your torta will be warmed in a panini press, but not squashed flat. It will be wrapped like a present in paper wrap for you to take away.

One sandwich will satisfy a big appetite. Highly recommend NOT sharing between two people unless both parties have delicate appetites and the relationship has withstood the test of life’s ups and downs already. The sandwich is that fresh and delicious that fighting over who gets the last crumb is a very real possibility.  😀

Enjoy!
