The night after I stopped into this Mexican deli in the Bronx driving back from Connecticut I had a dream. I was back at Tulcimex where the actual bodega looked largely the same. But the space was now bigger. The wall facing the street had been replaced with an open space, and then a large dining room. What was once a three table operation had 20, along with a dartboard and a dancefloor.
I imagine this was my subconscious confirming what I'd tell any person that asked – this place makes a mean torta. You don't have to come all the way up here to get a good Mexican sandwich, but the odds of the combination of stringy cheese, beans, tomato, lettuce and chorizo coming out right are certainly higher in this area. Under a soccer match, and protected by The Virgin of Guadalupe, I waited for and the ate my sandwich.
I wish there were proper agua frescas (only in the summer, I was told) or even the Jarrito's soda water (instead of just flavors) but these are minor complaints. That meal kept me satiated long after I returned to Brooklyn and fell into deep sleep.
