| - On a spontaneous whim - we were on Queen Street West and chanced upon New York Subway. From the outside - it looks like a plain sandwich shop. No glitz. No glam. No wow.
Choices: Burritos, Subs, or omlettes?
We ordered "burritos". I like to go for the "unusual" or "unique" (whichever suits your fancy) and went for something I'd never heard of; "the "Spinach Burrito" (small), while Mark opted for the Chicken Burrito (large). All items on the "small" menu are under $5!!! What a steal! The large items are anywhere from $7-$9 and comes with onions, mushroom, and tomatoes.
Who doesn't love surprises? Especially delicious ones! Expecting my "burrito" to come as a mush of spinach in a wrap - I discovered a bite of Indian-Mexican heaven at every bite! The "burrito" tasted more like a thin toasted soft crepe, stuffed with soft creamy potatoes and loaded with savoury spinach and crispy lettuce, with a subtle touch of their in-house cream sauce! The combination was a simple satisfying creamy meal that completely hit the spot! I was stuffed for hours! (And THAT is unusual!)
NOTE: Not your typical burrito!
TIP: If you are in a rush - do not take your chances here! There is even a FRAMED SIGN stating that the "order completion time" is approx. 15 minutes (per person). It is a one-man show here! There was only 1 cook in sight, who also runs the cash, takeout orders, and drinks. We only had 1 person in front of us and no one waiting, and it took 25 minutes after we ordered.
Overall - the meal was delicious, filling, unique, and the chef/cashier/host, although unfriendly at first glance, turned out to be quite a nice guy.
I am coming back to taste their other goods!
