"Tortas de la Barda"
The “Torta de la barda” was created for the first time in Tampico, Tamaulipas; its creator was Mr. Jose Maria Bracamontes.
He had the fabulous idea to sell tortas next to a wall by the train rails and the wharf of the city. You can find it near to market zone.
Soon in spite of the success obtained by this tortas, were spread trough the whole city and the suburbs.
Nowadays this tortas are known in everywhere like tortas de la barda. The importance of this tortas in Tampico’s Society is the identity acquired compared to other tortas styles from different places in Mexican Republic, such as Tortas Ahogadas from Guadalajara, Jalisco.
Currently and since several decades ago, this kind of tortas became the preferred ones in the region as they turned into a symbol from the culinary point of view.
Now, big supermarkets, not only national but also international, include this product in its bakery line or prepared food.

I think that this is cool, especially because I hadn´t heard about this food, despite that "tortas de la barda" is a Mexican food. I like because is about the Claudia´s life and as we know, she is from Tampico so, I suppose that she can tell us about its taste, because in the photo has a delicious aspect.
Also I think that is interesting because our country has an incredible, delicious wide of food (that I love) and a lot of them have had a similar origin.
Well I think, It is an interesting article, because Mexican Cuisine is one of the most varied food of the world, recently mention as an intangible cultural heritage, what makes it recognized around the world!!!
Also the article tell us how Jose Maria Bracamontes!!! has the simple and faboulous idea of the Torta!! The picture that Claudia shares with us, personally has a lot of ingredients, cause I dont like to mix much ingredients!!!
However many people likes this kind of food!
Well it's a new dish for me, I had'nt herad about it.
It's interesting for me to know about it because i love mexican food. For me is very important to know about a different dish like torta de la barda, because if i travel to Tampico I would like to eat this torta wich is a traditional dish here. By the other way, it can be difficult to eat because it has a lot of ingredients and it's to big. However i would like to taste that different dish and of course travel to Tampico!!!
Thanks Clau!! it's an interesting article
I did not have any previous information about it
and I´m already hungry!, ha, I love tortas and these look really good!.
I LOVE FOOD, SPECIALLY MEXICAN FOOD. A FEW YEARS AGO THE FATHER OF MY BOYFRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT A TRIP THAT HE MADE AROUND TAMPICO AND HE MENTIONS THAT TORTAS. HE SAID THEY ARE DELICIOUS AND THE PLACE IS VERY COOL. HE SAID ME: "YOU HAVE TO TRY THEM". TO TALK ABUOT FOOD IS VERY INTERESTING NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT MAKE US FEEL HUNGRY BUT BECAUSE IT MAKE US TO KNOW ABOUT ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL PLACES TAHT EXIST IN OUR COUNTRY AND AROUND THE WORLD.
It´s good for Mexican people do something that can be exported to other places, nevertheless I´m sure we can improve those “tortas”, in fact in my opinion, they don´t look so good.
I haven´t ever listened about this.
But now, looking at that picture I can say those "Tortas de la barda" look so delicious and I´m sure that if I travel to Tampico soon I´m gonna try to taste them, because the best way to meet a place is knowing its culture and food of course! (:
I like this articule because, I really love the gastronomy of cities, countries, etc.
I've never tasted Tortas de la Barda but i would like to eat.
I think these Tortas are very similar to Tortas Ahogadas that are representative to the Jalisco's Food. I really like Tortas Ahogadas and I considered that is a part important to Guadalajara city. I've tasted many times those Tortas and I've had the oportunity to tasted in Jalisco, but I want to accepted that they are very spicy.
