A mountain of ingredients

The special super-astro torta has the ingredients necessary to satisfy anyone's hunger. Egg, chorizo, ham, cheese, bacon, chicken and steak are just some of the ingredients in it.

One of the features of the Special Super Astro torta is egg with chorizo cooked on the grill, in the pure style of Mexico City. The consistency of the egg and the strong flavor of the chorizo are carried very well with the multiple meats and sausages of this spectacular tortilla.

In addition, this torta is accompanied by mayonnaise, avocado, vegetables and a baguette. Once the tortilla is ready, it is placed on the grill to give the bread a crispy touch and to make the ingredients more flavorful. If you don't have a big appetite, don't worry, you can always share it with one or up to two people.
