1821 Sandwich Shop — Restaurant in Florida

I've been dying to try this food truck after reading all the reviews since I love Peruvian food and often am a late night eater! Finally, got boyfriend and I over there to try their food after a good friend raved about his ubereats orders from them. They offer easy parking and tables with seating in front of their food truck so you can dine or wait for your food which is perfect since you can truly eat a full restaurant-quality Peruvian meal here.

Their menu is pretty extensive and offers all the Peruvian classics at reasonable prices considering how large the portions are. We were hungry and definitely over ordered but decided to try both flavors of their empanadas, the anticucho, and the lomo saltado sandwich which costs us about $30 with leftovers for another meal to take home. The food did take some time to make and we did end up waiting a good amount but that's since they cook to order and had many (what I assumed was) online/to-go orders so maybe call in prior if you're not one to wait.

The empanadas came out last but were piping hot and DELICIOUS----seriously, some of the most unique empanadas I have ever tried and I'm a food blogger that just spent a month eating empanadas. The corn and cheese empanada combined Peruvian corn and a freshly made cheese sauce similar to gooey mac and cheese. The Aji de Gallina empanada was on point in flavor and a little meal within itself with big chunks of potato in it. The anticucho was my favorite and was served with potato and corn----easily a whole meal itself rather than an appetizer. The portions of the meat were massive, tender, and had just the right smoky flavor. I would highly recommend it! The Lomo Saltado sandwich was just as delicious with large tender chunks of beef but fell apart when you poured the au ju sauce on it. They also offer a wide variety of house made sauces-----the olive one was delicious!

All in all I will most definitely be back here to try more as I've heard the ceviche here is better than most restaurants. I've also been recommended this place by local Peruvians so the food is definitely...

their food is very delicious and they have a cute little spot to eat if you choose to eat there. i would love to give them at least 4 stars but their service is beyond slow. they do not have the staff to keep up with their orders and it’s such a shame. when something is supposed to take 20-25 minutes, it ends up being about 40. it’s upsetting and it’s a huge part we don’t come here often. the girl at the front is a very hard worker and you tell how stressed out she is even with a mask on. they also don’t answer the phone when you call to place an order and maybe they should implement an online order system apart from ubereats and postmates. we always give a tip but we really hope it goes to the girl in the front ONLY. the nonchalant energy shines bright...

Loaded fries were great and the only reason I'm not leaving less stars. We ordered the loaded fries and two chicken sandwiches. FYI: the sandwiches come with fries. Here is the catch; Sandwiches smelled, (the way chicken smells after being boiled in plain water and left in the fridge for a few days.) Definitely wasn't fresh. Even with mayo and their sauce I couldn't force myself to eat it. The only flavor the chicken had matched the smell forcing me to toss it in trash. I don't see us...
