El Sancho

Good local Mexican

MÉXICO ????????
Dispatch from Gravesend, Brooklyn:
Right outside the N train's Avenue U station a new torteria has replaced another Mexican joint, offering some interesting tortas, plenty of other Mexican antojitos, as well as burgers and western breakfasts. This namesake torta is built around a base of sauteed steak and peppers. It was tasty, but maybe ask for them to hold the American cheese, which is peculiarly too pronounced in each bite. Tortas here are served with a side of fries, so be ready to be asked if you need ketchup, an odd experience in a Mexican restaurant.

The recommendation: I usually reserve my reviews for multiple repeats but the cheese quesadilla was so good I just had to write about it. I would give it a 4.5 if possible. It's a homemade tortilla with stringy cheese, Oaxaca cheese. It's very hard to find homemade tortillas so I'll defintely be back to try more.

The place:
It's a small little place with a small assortment of little snacks, drinks and mexican desserts. There is a communal table and seating near the window available.
