Best Sandwich: Hawaina at Las Tortas Perronas
You might be forgiven if you missed Las Tortas Perronas, situated in a little strip center just north of Spring Branch, if not for the giant I HEART TORTAS sign in the window and the wild decor inside and out. Now that you know, it’s worth a visit for this little tribute to the amazing Mexican sandwich. In this case, the Hawaina, a delightful pork/ham/cheese/lettuce/onion/grilled pineapple concoction on their in-house-baked bread. It’s savory and a little sweet and, like so many things in Houston, a mixtape of our multicultural melting pot. Add some green or red in-house-made salsa and you have a unique Cubano-slash-Hawaiian-slash-Mexican sandwich that is spectacular.
