I hate to burst your bunuelos, but a Mexican sandwich is called a torta.

Mexicans call meat on bread a torta, but torta in Spanish actually means cake, so we have a whole nuther discussion - is a torta a sandwich or a cake? Let's ask the judge.

And gateau in French is cake, but gato in Spanish is cat...

I'm so confused...
