Tortas Homero

Sorry part of the sign is cut off — I was standing in the median while I took this. Saw this place this morning on Calle Homero, on my way back from my very first Gold’s Gym “Body Pump” class. (As a totally unrelated sidenote, I had a VERY animated instructor named Wendy who kept yelling “Pompa, pompa” — as in English-ized “pump, pump”? — or “bomba, bomba,” as in, this stuff is hard, it’s like a bomb dropped on your head. In either case, I will be back. Preferably not the same day I eat a torta.)

    “Pompis,” also means “Booty.” Just throwing that out there.

    So maybe she was saying “booty booty booty” (rockin’ everywhere)? I kinda like that idea. Screaming “BOOTY!” to signify, you will soon have really tight glutes.
