The car wash is long gone, but the torta it inspired has become a signature of Tijuana street food. A flour-dusted pambazo roll gets spread with mayo and guacamole, then packed with mesquite-grilled carne asada that's been chopped and finished in a steam pan, topped with pickled tomato and purple onion. It's a counter-service sandwich spot with a local mythology to match, the kind of place where ordering anything else would miss the point entirely.
