Tortas Paquime's tortas a la plancha — that is, grilled sandwiches — are a steal at less than five bucks apiece. Order yours con todo, and it'll be heaped with thick slices of ripe avocado, pickled jalapeño, tomato, and lettuce, with a slick of mayo. And if you have a sweet tooth, be sure to stop by for Mexican ice cream, popsicles, raspados, flan and decadent pastelito tres leches, soaked in sweet cream.
