| - OK seriously. This could be one of Arizona's hidden treasures. I almost don't want to share this, because it will eventually mean long lines for me.
This is a corner store (appropriately on the corner) of 56th Street and Indian School. It at some time was probably a 7-11 or Circle K. But they have THE BEST sandwiches in town. When you walk in, it's a little sketchy. So don't say you haven't been warned. It is a convenience store and in a corner of the store they also happen to make sandwiches.
If you aren't scared away, then you are in luck, because this corner of the store is where all the magic happens. You ask the Asian guy at the counter for a slip and you write down your sandwich order. He then hands it to the Asian guy in the corner who will then make your sandwich.
They use Boar's Head meats and aren't stingy with it! I had a roast beef sandwich that had at least 2 inches of meat on it...and with all the toppings, my sandwich was only $6!
Plus, since it's a grocery store/gas station type place, you can grab some chips, nuts, drinks, beer, wine...whatever you need to go with your sammie. I passed on the beer/wine since I was headed back to work to eat my sandwich at my desk. I recommend that you too get your sandwich and sides "to go"...since it's a corner store, there is no where to "sit and eat" unless you like eating in your car...and I have a really weird aversion to people who eat in their cars. OR...you can dine in the AZ summer heat at a picnic table that is in the parking lot. But, the table was taken today by a truck full of construction workers who obviously also learned about this wonderful sandwich shop.
Anyway, if you work or live in the area, you need to give this place a try...it is truly one of the best sandwiches I've had in at least a year or two. I will be going back...REAL SOON.
