Dolores` Deli — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Not sure how in God's name people rate this place so highly, I'd give zero stars if it was an option.... first, I ordered a cheese steak the other day and clearly the roll had to have been be a day or two old because it was HARD AS A ROCK AND LIKE RUBBER. The steak was also extremely fatty(I was spitting pieces of fat out.) And there was LITERALLY Like 3 slices of steak. When I was handed the bag I had to check it because it was THAT light. $10 bucks for something not even worth $2. If I didn't live so far away I would have went back and confronted them for a refund. What a disgrace. Don't waste your time or money. Let me add that I "attempted" to eat the sandwich as soon as we got in the car. No one is "bashing" your establishment, I give honest, accurate reviews. They were old, stale rolls. We threw it away, total waste of money. Clearly you know this is true since you took such offense to an honest review. Also, I give reviews when I have time, not on...

What I liked mostly is the value for money in my chicken cutlet sub. Starting from the bread, to the roasted peppers, to the chicken itself, everything was quality.

Unfortunately, the hoagie was underseasoned which made it flat, flavor-wise. I think it's common knowledge also that roasted peppers need salt and some acidity, like drops of balsamic vinegar to intensify their flavor. Otherwise, you only taste the sweetness. I would also add chopped parsley, to keep it Italian, or even cilantro. This addition can add flavor complexity to this sub.

What I didn't like was the unwelcoming attitude which also resulted in 0 napkins for 2 subs to go.

Needless to say I drove one hour and didn't have breakfast so I can order a sub from them before they sell out.

I would try their tuna sub out of curiosity, but if I have a similar experience I wouldn't go out of my way just...

Y'all. I'm telling you. Hear me loud and clear.

COME EAT A HOAGIE!

I really don't want to tell you much more than that. Follow this restaurant on Instagram for all the latest and greatest specials. The special I had this weekend was the "El Fuego". It is a hoagie that had chicken cutlets coated in Flaming Hot Cheetos. Alarms go off Yes, Flaming Hot Cheetos. The hoagie was really well balanced. It was savory, salty, tangy, and just the lightest hint of sweet.

There doesn't appear to be a bad hoagie on the list. They are all reasonably priced and this is a mad cute mom and pop. The deli is on the smaller size but they really know how to operate in the space. It's so impressive as the phone rings...
