Tortas and wrestling, the best combination
It was the Super Astro master who had the idea of starting with tortas more than 40 years ago. Starting in Arcos de Belén and passing through Pescaditos, he ended up partnering with friends to open the current premises.

It's a super torta
Tortas Super Astro is an iconic place thanks to its famous Special Super Astro tortilla. One of the biggest tortas you'll find. The challenge is not simply to eat it, the challenge is to finish it in less than 20 minutes. Legend has it that one in every 10 people manage it.

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.
