New Tortas Menu & Bottomless Brunch at La Farmacia
La Farmacia, Stanley Street’s beloved taqueria and margarita bar, is making waves with two new offerings – an authentic Mexican tortas menu and an immersive Bottomless Brunch experience featuring luchadores!
Inspired by the rich street food culture of Mexico, the tortas menu showcases regional flavours, from the slow-roasted cochinita pibil of Yucatán to the iconic torta al pastor from Mexico City. Tortas, Mexico’s take on the classic sandwich, are made with fresh bolillo or telera bread and filled with bold, satisfying flavours.
To celebrate, on 6 March 2025 ‘Tortas Thursday”, La Farmacia will be giving away 100 free tortas with a Jarritos soda. The menu includes: Torta de Milanesa de Pollo, a nod to Italian milanese, featuring breaded and fried chicken with avocado, lettuce, and mayo; Torta de Cochinita, a Yucatán favourite with slow-roasted pork marinated in achiote and citrus; Torta al Pastor, a Mexico City staple influenced by Lebanese shawarma, made with marinated pork, pineapple, onion, and cilantro; Torta de Birria, a Jalisco specialty with slow-cooked beef or goat, served with consomé for dipping; and Torta de Jamón (‘The Cure’), a simple yet iconic torta made famous by the Mexican TV series El Chavo del Ocho, featuring ham, avocado, tomato, lettuce, and mayo.
La Farmacia is also launching a new Bottomless Brunch experience on Saturday March 1 (2025), featuring luchadores serving and play-fighting for a unique brunch experience that blends delicious food with high-energy entertainment. For $89 per person, guests can indulge in a 90-minute dining experience, every Saturday 11am to 3pm and Sundays 11am to 5pm (last orders 3:30 pm). The feast kicks off with a vibrant selection of Mexican flavours, including crispy corn chips with salsa and guacamole, elote, and a mixed fruit bowl of watermelon, melon, and pineapple, with Tajín and a squeeze of fresh lime.
For the main course, guests can choose from two taco options, including 8-hour slow-cooked BBQ beef brisket, traditional carnitas, cochinita chicken, mushroom (vegan), or cauliflower. Sides are crispy potato wedges and a fresh salad bowl – cactus or Caesar. To finish indulge in golden churros with dulce de leche. And, of course, the drinks keep flowing with unlimited pours of classic margaritas, house wines, spirits, and authentic Mexican beer!
Owner Alfredo Perez says: “La Farmacia has always been about celebrating the bold flavours and culture of Mexico. With our tortas and bottomless brunch, we’re bringing something truly unique and exciting to Sydney’s food scene.”
