Super Torta II

My parents visited Oaxaca a few years back and loved it, so I became excited to try the food here at Super Torta.
Besides tortas being their main dish (read: Super Torta) they are known for their Oaxacan specific dish: the tlayuda. Think mexican pizza. No, not that hexagonal pizza they served in elementary school, but more along the lines of traditional mexican toppings piled on a crispy tortilla for easy portability.
Starts with the crispy (I don’t recall if it was fried or just grilled) tortilla, then spread with beans, Oaxacan style cheese, cabbage, fresh avacado and topped with pork and beef. It is quite the sight to see first off, but honestly while I was eating it, I was surprised at the lack of flavor. All good stuff going on, but it wasn’t until I splashed on some tomatillo salsa that it got interesting.
I asked if they had any grasshoppers as that is a big dish in Oaxacan culture, and he said that he gets it when he can but didn’t have any that day. I’d definitely go back to check it out though!

Super Torta II (according to the shirts the employees wear it’s Super Torta I & II: the original and the sequel!) was one of five trucks I stopped at on the Taco Truck Tour of 2010. That meant I was not going to fill up on a big torta here and instead went with a steak gordita (I ordered cabeza/​head but another hungry cyclist thought that was his steak gordita, oh well, it was a fair trade-​off). For under $ 3 it was sizable, it was tasty, big on calories and I highly recommend the creamy jalapeño sauce that might have very well been my favorite out of the handful of trucks I visited. Georgesville Rd is a sprawling, industrial road where one would not think of to grab a bite, but there are definitely a number of Mexican places which have popped up that now make it a worthwhile destination. The awkward, where-​the-​hell-​are-​we? location only enhances the experience.

Stop #3 on Taco Tour 2010! Like Amar K mentioned, this location looks more permanent than the other locations. The truck is on cement blocks and they have a PA system hooked up to announce orders! The staff here was friendly and JM and I both ordered gorditas even though their specialties are Tlayudas and Tortas. We were going to get gorditas carnitas but they were out and so we opted for pollo instead.
The food was good. But we were spoiled from the 1^st stop at Little Mexico! These were a bit more expensive too ($ 3.50 a piece) but still an excellent value. There were about 6 chairs and 1 small table that was like a coffee table. They also had plastic plates that were much easier to eat off of than the paper plates at the other locations.
Again, you pay after you finish eating your food.

I learned about this from the site
Super Torta II belongs to a family of itinerant restaurants called Taco Trucks. Yet, a closer look revealed that the tires of this ‘truck’ have long since deflated and the whole thing rests on concrete slabs. Comforting thought to self, «they aint going nowhere soon».
This was my second Taco truck stop so I didn’t have the courage to order their speciality, Tortas; large toasted sandwiches served in several styles like cuban, ham, hawaiian? etc.
I got a chicken taco and the marianted pork, both were moist and lovingly constructed, with cucumber and radish on the side. The Horchata washed it all down, mmmm!
The ambience was lively with a several families camped under the awning listening to music and chatting over their repast. Next time, I’m going for the Torta. Oh, and also the Al-​Pastor.
Thanks Columbus and thanks Hungrywoolf and CMH Gourmand. You can go their site for Google map of the locations.
