Mexico City Tortas Fair Guinness record

Overview

In late July 2026, the Feria Internacional de la Torta in Mexico City produced a 100‑metre, 1.5‑tonne sliced sandwich, earning a Guinness World Record as the largest of its kind. Dozens of bakers assembled the massive confection, which featured more than fifty fillings, under the supervision of judge Alfredo Arista and in the presence of mayor Evelyn Parra. The achievement continues a yearly progression of record‑setting sandwiches at the fair—previously a 76‑metre, 950‑kg sandwich in 2024 and a 90‑metre version in 2025.

The event also highlighted regional culinary traditions, with a separate celebration in Tehuacán where hundreds of women carried baskets of handmade tortillas along a five‑kilometre route, underscoring the broader cultural significance of the torta and tortilla heritage in Mexico.
