ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. La Bruja Torteria Mexicana has taken a food staple of Mexico and added some New Mexico magic to it.
You will not find the typical torta – a sandwich served on a soft roll usually filled with a meat and garnish – coming out of this ghost kitchen.
Instead, the eight tortas it offers incorporates the flavors of New Mexico and adds contemporary twists such as wasabi crema.
Sham Naik, executive chef and creator of La Bruja, describes his food as “Flavortown tortas at Albuquerque La Bruja,” as a nod to restaurateur and Food Network star Guy Fieri.

“We don’t do any traditional tortas at all,” Naik said. “All the tortas we have is our take on very famous staple tortas of Mexico. When we started doing our tortas every one of them were getting green chile. There’s a roasted green chile on it.”
