Al Son de Mi Barrio in Valley, Providence: a Mexican restaurant that offers Torta Ahogada!😃

A spicy salsa-drowned sandwich stuffed with carnitas (pulled pork) from Guadalajara in Mexico’s state of Jalisco! 🥵🇲🇽🥪
Even though it’s not made with the traditional Birote bread, still happy to find it here!
