Small, clean shop with lots of Mexican non-perishable goods, pinatas, sodas, snacks, religious candles, some chorizo, and dairy products.

They also have seemingly very authentic burritos (which brought me in) for $4.99. Packed - I had the carna one -…More »

Awesome fish.

Try to figure out when they get it shipped in so I can get the freshest sandwich...the dude said "everyday", which can't be right- either way- it's very good.

I think the salad is the best buy- it's the same price as the wrap and the…More »

Just got back from having a chicken kebob wrap. It was so fresh and so clean, clean.

I just realized all their menu items are taxes in. 5 bucks for a deliciously sort of healthy meaty wrap? yes plulease.

Perfect.

Had the meatball today after they wrote about it in the National Post. It's the messiest sandwich I've ever attempted to eat. It's really good, too. Get it spicy (unless you're a sissy).

This place makes the best take-out veal sandwich. For eat in, it's probably the worst because there is only room for about 5 people to stand in a line in there. I even bought one of those shitty baseball caps they sell above the proscuitto (4 bucks,…More »

Probably can attribute about 8lbs of stomach mass to this place.

Sweet: just tomato sauce
Medium: 2 jalapeños
Spicy: 4 jalapeños

The sauce is not as good as the stuff across the…More »

I had the 5 spice pork belly sandwich which after tax came in at $6.77.

It was quite large with those long white buns they bake in house, came along with carrots, mayo, their bahn mi sauce, some jalapeños, cilantro, and cucumbers.

It was more than…More »

Been going back a lot lately and getting the black bean salad. It's basically everything in a burrito + black beans - the bread. It does come with fresh tortilla chips to dip, so I guess you're still carbin' up. For some reason it just seems healthy.…More »

Tried a great new sandwich. The Falafel with Donair sauce. Donair gets capitalized because it's that good.

Always grab a chicken or veg samosa to munch while I'm waiting for the sandwich (3 minutes is a struggle when I'm hungry).

Also: Rice pudding.…More »

Tight space- few seats along the window (think sam james but with pork), and lots of porcetta being served.

Sandwiches are just under $7 bucks with tax, or 10 if you get a plate (which is an extra ounce of meat + a side...don't sound like that's worth…More »

Unlike Terry C, I can list many places that top this spot's veal sandwiches. Unfortunately, none THAT close to it.

He's right, the amount of veal is great for the sandwich - and the meat itself isn't too chewy. The bun is standard- and the toppings…More »
