| - As an Italian, I know my veal sandwiches. And as much as the interior of California Sandwiches reminds me of my nonna's basement (not exactly a compliment), it's just not my favourite place to go for veal.
Their sandwiches have a LOT of meat in them, and they're often not the greatest cuts. I found them quite chewy and fatty, and it did not make me feel great about eating them. Extra toppings like mushrooms and cheese cost money, and they don't taste great without them. The buns are sometimes stale and could use a little warming up at least before I devour them.
And I know mess isn't a way to judge a veal sandwich, but this was the messiest sandwich I have ever eaten. All the pieces of the sandwiches were so mismatched in size that they just fell out. Why wouldn't everything stay in the bun? I've never had such problems at Mustachio's.
If you're on College St and you want veal, California Sandwiches might hit the spot. But if you have the time, just go to Mustachio's. Way better, less messy, and fresher ingredients (and all the toppings come on your sandwich already!). Plus the service at Mustachio's is ridiculously fast. I waited about 25 minutes for my sandwich here, and it wasn't even during peak hours, the employees were just chit-chatting about someone's wedding while we waited. Not impressed.
