The Mexican favorite sandwich the torta takes ingredients typically takes ingredients found in a taco and slathers them between a crusty sliced bolillo or telera. In Guadalajara, torta ahogada is popular, with the sandwich drenched in salsa.

In Las Vegas, tortas find a home on many a Mexican restaurant menu. Here a look at seven to try.

A number of Las Vegas restaurants have resumed dine-in service. The level of service offered is indicated on each map point. However, this should not be taken as endorsement for dining in, as there are still safety concerns: for updated information on coronavirus cases in Las Vegas, please visit Nevada Health Response. Studies indicate that there is a lower exposure risk when outdoors, but the level of risk involved with patio dining is contingent on restaurants following strict social distancing and other safety guidelines.
