| - We live in south phoenix and there is no shortage of great Mexican food out here. This place is among the best though.
We went here on a whim and were not disappointed. The family running the place has been in the restaurant industry for 25 years and about a year ago opened this location. Their bread is baked fresh every day and is some of the best bread I have had...pillowy soft, buttery and smooth and the perfect foundation for building an exceptional sandwich.
My wife had the pierna and I had the cubana and strangely neither of us had order envy. They serve all their sandwiches with a house salsa that is absolutely amazing, a smokey, spicy sauce that just added a great depth to the sandwiches. My Cubana was a excellent, roasted pork with carnitas adobadas, avocado, mayo, jalapeƱo, tomato and lettuce...i have had Cubanas before, but never like this. The Mexican spin on the classic sandwich made for a spectacular surprise. The spicy with the creamy, the crunchy with the soft, the meats cooked to perfection. I will be dreaming about that sandwich until I go back and destroy another. Top the meal off with a medio litro of Coca-Cola Mexicana and you have the recipe for a happy boy.
The fact that the owners don't speak much English should not dissuade you, frankly it added to the authentic nature of the meal. So, take a drive to the south side and have one of the best sandwiches you can ever expect in your life. You will not be disappointed.
