Went today on our visit to Almonte.
We got the smoked meat sandwich with a poutine side as well as the Cuban Bowl.
Unfortunately, I wanted to try the Cuban Sandwich but I couldn’t eat mustard so asked for none, and they said it was pre-mixed into the meats.
Here are my thoughts: *Smoked meat sandwich was delicious on this type of bun, better than normal soggy rye (I usually get my rye toasted) - BUT they need DOUBLE the meat on this sandwich. As the bun was about 90% & the meat was about 10%. Smoked meat sandwiches are usually 80% meat and stacked high!
*Fries could have either been cooked a little longer or weren’t double fried like most chip trucks. They were flavourful but a little underdone and not quite the crispy-fluffy fries should be. The hot gravy was delicious, thick and a medium colour & they use real curds!
*The Cuban Bowl was also tasty, but a little smaller than expected at $10 - light on the meat & light on the beans.
This place has lots of parking, lovely picnic area, and even a porta potty.
They could level up their items a little and I would definitely return. But, for now - the taste was good but it just didn’t wow me enough to not try the other trucks in...
Read moreI just moved to Almonte and my Mom and I decided to try this place out after half a day of setting up stuff in my new place. I'm a big fan of Cubano sandwiches so that's what I tried and it was the best one of those I've ever had. Dense and delicious and filled me up for the rest of the day. My Mom had never tried one and she loved it as well.
The fries were a bit bland and could have used some seasoning but they were still quite good and everything was served up piping hot and clearly fresh.
The prices were very reasonable and they take plastic, which I very much appreciate.
I'll definitely be...
Read moreSorry to say but we were soooo disappointed with our meal tonight. We ordered the Fish Taco and Cuban sandwich. The fish portion for each taco was as big as my pointer finger with a tasty salad type addition. The Cuban had a few shavings about half inch long at the top of the bun and the bottom of the bun and nothing in the middle. We could literally count the amount of meat strips on the sandwich. The fries tasted awful and I'm guessing because they were cooked in old oil. We will...
