Tres Amigos

The torta at Tres Amigos is close to really good, but just misses the mark. I'll blame it on the crowds that swamped the Half Moon Bay eatery during the annual Pumpkin Festival in October. The service was good, but it was obvious they were a bit overwhelmed by the swarm of patrons.

The large, foil-wrapped torta promptly arrived at our table, but it was a bit cold. The cheese was only partially melted and the carne asada was luke warm. In spite of this, the torta still redeemed itself with a nicely toasted bun and the perfect amount of grease - not too dry, but not too sloppy.

It was difficult to truly appreciate the torta knowing that it could be so much more. I left wondering what the torta would taste like when everything is done just right. I'll be back on a less crowded day to find out.

*I lost the receipt, but if memory serves correct the torta was about $6.50.
