Galindo’s Authentic Mexican opened in June 2015 and is located in Southgate, Michigan, 14 miles south of Detroit. Although Chef Galindo now calls Southgate his home, he grew up in the heart of Mexico City (Distrito Federal, “D.F.”) where his love affair with cooking first began, particularly attempting to recreate the amazing regional favorites.

Mexico, and Mexico City in particular, is know for many amazing dishes, but none more beloved than the Torta: a type of sandwich served on an artisan white sandwich roll. Depending on the region, it might be called a Bolillo, Telera, Birote, or Pan Francés. Chef Galindo offers a dozen of different varieties of this remarkable sandwich, in addition to other handmade Mexican classics.
