This represents everything that I hope to accomplish with Food Dude, namely bringing attention to great places you might overlooked. Juan and his crew really CARE about the food they are serving you. THAT is the difference between an okay place and a GREAT PLACE TO EAT.

They know about good, quality ingredients. Don’t let the low class location fool you.

From the outside, you would think it’s all Costco Brand salad dressings and condiments, but in reality it’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil, BALSAMIC Vinegar, DIJON Mustard. This is definitely a don’t judge a book by its cover kind of place. Very high quality food, prepared with love and care, at very reasonable prices.

TIP: Stick with the specials, the deluxe sandwiches. They are absolutely worth the price. Any sandwich with a crazy name, like “Al Pacino” or “Godzilla”, etc., is a hit. The regular sandwiches are just that – regular. Go with DELUXE, you won’t regret it.

Things we didn’t get to show in the video: They do REALLY GOOD SALADS, at very reasonable prices. If you are into the whole Atkins/no carb thing, you can get a very nice assortment of greens, tomatoes, avocado, etc., AND ADD real roast turkey, or steak, or chicken to it. And it’s under $8! Seriously! When I was working in the area I used to order that all the time.

The only downside: Hey, you can’t rush greatness. It’s good, it’s cheap, but good food takes time. If you’re in a hurry, you can always go next door to McDonalds. But if you want good food made with good ingredients, AT AFFORDABLE PRICES, this is the spot.

Many great VEGETARIAN OPTIONS. Seriously, this is one sandwich shop that doesn’t short-change you Veggie types. It’s not just a “normal” sandwich minus the meat. They create unique, delicious sandwiches just for you. (And don’t forget, salads are available, too.)


Breakfast sandwiches, hot and delicious. Beef Chorizo? Oh yeah! Say it with me now: “Beef Chorizo!” Feels good, don’t it?
