Beccammendations: Volume 50, Tortaria

NOT ONLY is this the 50th Beccammendations post- but it’s also my birthday post! I cannot believe I have shared 50 posts with all you guys (I also can’t believe I have eaten that much food in the past hear and half). Yesterday my co-workers and I ventured down to University place for some tacos and margaritas. We found ourselves at the eye-catching Tortaria, enjoying some incredible Mexican cuisine.

I will say I am a sucker for anywhere that has a la carte menus. I love having the option to mix-and-match dishes and try everything. We split a large order of the guacamole and chips (which was enough for the 3 of us) - let me not forget to mention the extensive serve your own salsa bottles available, which also complimented the chips quite nicely. One of my absolute favorite meals when at a Mexican restaurant is chimichangas, because let’s get real, EVERYTHING tastes better fried, especially a burrito. Tortaria serves an order of 2 mini chimichangas, if you can picture 2-taco-sized chimichangas, that was basically what they were. Perfectly crunchy on the outside, stuffed with steak, beans, cheese and rice. It was topped with pico de gallo, crema, and salsa verde. If I had to think of an ideal chimichanga, this was it. Though the portion looked small, personally I was satisfied.

Now let’s talk about the margarita’s. $40 for a pitcher of some STRONG margaritas. I won’t lie I was a tad bit tipsy leaving Tortaria, but they tasted delicious!

If you’re looking for a fun, informal, casual Mexican experience with authentic food and drinks - that also won’t break the bank - look no further. Thank me after you try the chimichangas and margaritas (as long as you don’t drink too many and forget, then you’ll just have to go back!).
