La Sangucheria - 108 SW 3rd Ave - Peruvian Sandwiches

Today, for the third or fourth time, I went to La Sangucheria - a Peruvian sandwich cart that is in the former location of the world-famous Big Ass Sandwiches, who have relocated to another cart pod across the river.


I must say, this is a fine replacement. The portions are huge, and the food is delicious.
I have been repeatedly ordering the Chicharron (Chee-char-own) - an absurdly tasty sandwich of deep fried pork shoulder chunks, topped with sauteed onions, honey-glazed sweet potato slices (like chips, but not crispy) and spicy mustard. It is served sort of 'open-faced' (you won't be able to fold this in half to eat, just treat it like a big, fat hot dog)



It is sinfully delicious. My intent is to try some other items on the menu, but I've been so impressed with this particular sandwich that I keep ordering it time and time again.

Other offerings include the Saltado, which is a beef tenderloin sandwich with fries (similar to the style Big Ass Sandwiches does things, adding fries into the sandwich) - The Pachamama - a heart-attack inducing combination of smoked ham, grilled chicken, bacon, mushrooms, cheese sauce -- and fries. There is a breakfast sandwich that includes scrambled eggs, bacon, smoked ham, and fries.
They're open late, and on weekends, and this is probably perfect food to absorb copious amounts of alcohol after being out on the town...
Give them a try, you won't regret it.
Prices - $7-$8 per sandwich.
