AL 100 Torta

Beline Carniceria & Deli · 340 Lemmon Dr, Unit 4, Reno · (775) 657-8683

This is not a sandwich. It is a pachanga between two pieces of bread. The AL 100 arrives loaded with asada, chorizo, ham, and bacon — four kinds of meat, each one earning its place — layered with chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomato, avocado, jalapeño, onion, melted Monterey cheese and queso fresco, all of it served on telera bread, the soft traditional Mexican white roll that somehow holds the whole magnificent thing together. Beline is a North Valleys carniceria and Mexican market first — fresh-cut meats behind the glass case, tamarind candy on the shelves, Jarritos in the cooler. The people who know, know. The people who don't are missing one of the great bites in the region. Worth every mile of the drive. Bring napkins.
