Lilly's (two L's 131!) at 310 Chapala St. I'm a vegetarian, and even I know to go to Lilly's for good (weird) mexican food.

Lily's doesn't serve tongue sandwiches, they serve tacos. And the type of tongue they use in their tacos is completely different than the type used in good Jewish delis. Tongue is like pastrami or corned beef... very tasty

You must be from NYC. Town Hall Deli in South Orange NJ is the best. There used to be a place on upper state called Jodah's Deli which was the closest thing around. Now you have to go to LA. Factors on Sunset in Beverly Hills is great.

If you want Mexican tongue tacos / burritos / tortas / etc then you must go to the best Mexican restuarant in town, El Bajio, on Milpas between Mason and Yanonali.

I think most here are very confused as to what the question actually is. I agree we have lots of options for really excellent Mexican style tongue served in tacos or even a torta (essentially a tongue sandwich), but the original poster is asking about a completely different beast, it's a deli staple in some parts of the country and is cured. It is more like pastrami or salami than the slow raised varieties you find at taquerias.

I have no idea where to get a tongue sandwich locally, however, Jerry's Deli in Woodland Hills has everything, including tongue. This thread brings back memories for me of my 1/2 Jewish mother plopping down a freshly boiled cow tongue ( they're enormous!) onto a cutting board to make herself a sandwich. I'm still not over it!

Memories of my Jewish grandmother serving it, gray and boiled, from her finest china. I could never get over the giant taste-buds on the thing!

I used to eat pickled tongue sandwiches growing up in Bakersfield, because that is how the Basque prepare them. They were yummy!

Never had tongue sandwich -- my dad use to joke about not wanting to taste anything that was tasting him at the same time.

I am reminded of the old Archie Bunker line where, when Edith tells him he as a tongue sandwich in his lunch, replies "I ain't eating nothing that's been in a cow's mouth. Gimme egg salad."

This bring back memories! My mother used to serve tongue for dinner followed by sandwiches for my lunch pail with a slice of tongue with mustard on it between pieces of bread. I actually thought it tasted good and was OK but for some reason I've not been tempted to try tongue as an adult. I guess when one is young and their father loves tongue for dinner they'll follow along. It was a real special treat for him to have tongue. And I also remember we always had to call rabbit for dinner "chicken" because my 2 younger brothers couldn't stand the thought of eating rabbit meat!! They always loved that "chicken" though and asked for more. :-)

I won't eat tongue. Sounds nasty. Looks nasty. But in hindsight (pun intended), I love me a good rump roast. Funny how we see one part of a cow edible and another not.

i second the recommendation for The Cheese Shop in Montecito's upper village -- piled high tongue sandwiches there...and inexpensive. (one sandwich can last you two days--or you can even get one of his famous "halfs on a whole" - half the meat on two slices of bread..rye with mustard...yum!

my folks served cold sliced boiled tongue (outer skin removed) at Easter for dinner, and I thought it was gross, but it did make good sandwiches. Now I love it cooked any old way, but not sure about "pickled"--does the poster mean salt-cured like corned beef? Sounds like too much trouble to me.

Yes, Seedlady, I believe it is salt-cured like corned beef. Sometimes, I've seen it referred to as "corned beef tongue." It is probably the most divine of all of the classic Jewish sandwiches, but unfortunately contains too much fat to make it a frequent occurrence. I've also had pickled tongue, Greek lamb's tongue, and various Mexican style tongues. They're all great.
