San Wich — Restaurant in Toronto

Saw this place opened recently and decided to try it out on a whim. I got the Beef Barbacoa + Fries + Drink (soda can). The Beef Barbacoa was fantastic. Unfortunately, the fries were a bit soggy because of how they were packaged for take away (in a sealed box) so they got steamed a bit. I re-heated the fries quickly in the oven when I got home with my take away order and their crisp was restored. The sandwich, fries, and drink came to $30 after tax and tip, which is high for a lunch in my opinion. The portions were massive though and this sandwich and fries could have easily fed two people.

Overall, I enjoyed this place but for me the thing that would keep me from coming back regularly is the price.

very greasy, way too much meat/eggplant to bread ratio. the wrappings were dripping in oil when we opened the it up. our sandwiches were pretty hard to hold with both hands, let alone keeping all the toppings in one bite. the thin bread pretty much slid off immediately after opening it so we had to reconstruct the sandwich a couple times. we ordered the cubano and eggplant, but found the cubano was mostly pork with literally only a few coin slices of pickle, onion and a ton of cheese. the eggplant was sliced way too thick and was tough to hold intact with the thin bread. the accompanying hot sauce and garlic mayo were great. all in all, i think we just got a sunday lunch with a new chef. still think this place...

I tried the Chicken Milanese sandwich and it was decent, but didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The sandwich came with a great combo of hot sauce and garlic/spicy mayo, plus a side of jalapeños which added a nice kick. The flavours were there, but something about it just didn’t fully come together.

That said, the sauces were solid, and I could tell there's potential here. I'm definitely open to giving it another shot, the rest of the menu looks promising, and I’m curious to try some of the other sandwiches.

Not my favourite this time, but not...
