Eduardo,

I do believe James was referring to a restaurant in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.

Manitou,

Darn it! I was hoping to high I guess. I do have a home made recipe for tortas ahogadas and also one for cochinita pibil. Who ever is interested send me an email to eserranosuzan@hotmail and I can forward it.

Does anyone know if this place (El santuario) is still operating?
Sounds delicious! Has any one been there lately?

Thanks

Last night while walking to Cpt. Dave's on 10th (although it isn't really called that anymore, why do we keep calling it that?) I saw a little stand on 8th street, between 5th and 10th avenues, on the south side of the street just before you reach 10th ave. They had "tortas ahogadas" written on the side, but I haven't tried them yet. Maybe a recon mission is in order??

...been there done that (thx to James). Highly recommended.

I'm there at the end of apr. I hope they are there about 8pm before the te-kill-ya starts

Montego · 03-21-2006

I'm from Guadalajara and I would really love some tortas ahogadas when I go to playa in November.

Looked for El Santuario but couldn't find it. Unless it's really well hidden, it's gone. However, the stand that Heather mentioned on Calle 8 is still there, and the tortas are awesome! The owner doesn't speak any English but was very friendly and proud of his food.

Montego · 04-19-2006

cool hopefully he will still be there in November

**Heather** · 04-28-2006

Guess what I had for dinner last night?? The tortas ahogadas stand is very clean and the owner (?) was very friendly. The tortas themselves were delicious, and I wish I had one right now. I don't know exactly how much they cost each because I didn't count my change, but I think it was under 35 pesos each.

Exactly how many did you have?!?

One or two tortas shouldn't require too much higher math to figure the cost!

Are you trying to reestablish cred on those big eater claims that were recently challenged on the Chichen Itza tour?

Er, I only had one,

but I bought one for my bf. I just glanced at my change quickly before tossing it in my purse, and once it's in that abyss, there's no telling for sure how much it was. It was around 33 or 35 pesos, I'd guess.
