Dish Review

Formerly La Playa Azul, this strip-mall Mexican restaurant has a new name, new management and a predominantly Guadalajaran menu. The house specialty is its selection of tortas (sandwiches, $5.95-$6.95), with stewed or roasted meat served warm with lettuce, tomato and a thin spread of mayonnaise on a huge, soft roll. The irresistible torta Tapatia ($5.95) comes with scrumptiously juicy, lightly spiced shredded pork with onion, melted Mexican cheese and fresh jalapeño slices. (KD)
