That&#8217;s because they named everything on the menu after something that is generally made from meat. For instance, I ordered the &quot;Jackfruit BBQ.&quot;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.revolutionsf.com\/bb\/weblogs\/upload\/5\/15760318274aa9721060dfb.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s served with a side of sliced carrots just to add insult to the injury. What did it taste like? It tasted like somebody smeared barbecue sauce over something that was clearly not meat. <\/p>\n<p>Now, for about half the price of the vegan sandwich, I got one of the best looking tortas in town at <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?oe=utf-8&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&amp;amp;um=1&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;q=los+altos+austin&amp;amp;fb=1&amp;amp;split=1&amp;amp;gl=us&amp;amp;view=text&amp;amp;latlng=17074048241291137616\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"postlink\">Los Altos<\/a>. <br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.revolutionsf.com\/bb\/weblogs\/upload\/5\/14951389524aa971edac16b.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a crying shame that Los Altos doesn&#8217;t have more of a following. The food is good, the service prompt, and it has some of the best prices in town. The above torta was a barbacoa cubana. The &quot;cubana&quot; part means that it has a thick slice of ham. Compare it to the torta al pastor that my colleague ordered.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.revolutionsf.com\/bb\/weblogs\/upload\/5\/14972560614aa971e6b74fb.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nPretty damn delicious. Mexican food is yet another reason to hate vegans and everything they stand for.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of hating vegans, let&#8217;s end this entry with a meat quiz. In the following photo there are three different meats in the tacos: lengua, barbacoa, and suadero. Can you identify which is which?<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.revolutionsf.com\/bb\/weblogs\/upload\/5\/6604673354aa9721dbdc4b.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was a group trip down to Quality Seafood, and I was told that I had to have the oysters.
