John in front of the "super torta" at "Cafetería El Cuadriltero". Eat it in fifteen minutes, and it's free! Though, it only costs about US$15, so it's not that awful if you don't. Really, it is filled with so much meat that it looks totally disgusting. If you look hard, you can also see Sarah's reflection in the mirror.
