Score 85/100 · Order: Adobada torta · $8–12
El Gordo's adobada comes off a vertical spit with proper char, and the torta format gives you far more of it per dollar than the tacos do. The bread is standard telera, which keeps it from scoring higher.
Local tip: Order the torta when the taco line is long — it's a faster window and a bigger portion.
