Fun fact: this torta was made for me by my momma at a restaurant we used to work at 15 yrs ago. I told myself back then that I would add this to the menu whenever I opened my own restaurant And here we are. Named after me EL PATRON (THE BOSS 😎) 😋

Carne asada, ham, bacon, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices and avocado
