88 TORERO: lomo, manchego cheese and green pepper

 

I'm not sure whether this was a stealth menu change or a mistake, but I got piparra (mild peppers from Spain) instead of green pepper. Which is fine with me. Piparra -- essentially pepperoncini -- is one of my favorite ingredients, and it made for a good sandwich. Not great, but good.

04 Lomo

If I hadn't known I'd ordered lomo in my latest visit to 100 Montaditos, I'd have mistaken the meat in this sandwich for a higher-grade version of ham, perhaps jamón Ibérico rather than jamón Serrano. And, well, "cured pork," ham, potato, potahto, though this montadito contained neither potatoes nor potahtoes.

This is a nice sandwich, though a little hard to eat. The translucent slices of goodness resist biting and tearing, and so you might end up just sliding one off with your bite of bread. Worse things have happened.
