re: Street Breads: any good?

Mexico City Sandwich and a side of slaw were both pretty good. Not the "OMG BEST THING EVER" but I'd definitely go back, food-wise. I'd be interested in something else though.

My visit was awkward though. Walk in, get in line behind three sorority girls who are chatting .. and chatting.. and still chatting with the cashier. When they finally leave, I step up and tell him what I want and he looks at me crazy and says I order down at the other end.
No biggie, but this surprises me because the place looks nothing like a Subway type joint, and the sandwiches are dressed with so much already that it doesn't seem like the type of place that pulls out some bread and looks at you to yell to them what to put on it through the glass. Thought it would be like an Inga's/Mama Goldberg's type deal where you just order and then sit and wait. But whatever, no biggie,.

So the guy tells me my total and I give him like $3 more, and tell him to keep the change. He takes the money, counts it, and then looks at me like a deer in headlights and says "Oh.. no tips". I can't help laughing a little tell him I work in a restaurant and I'm not taking it back, so I walk away and sit down and wait for my food. No idea if he kept the money or just left it in the register.

Awkward all around. But the sandwich was pretty good.

Had lunch there yesterday. The pulled pork with slaw is awesome. The potato salad is good. The star is the bread. Very good! But wait, don't leave without some of Momma's bread pudding. Aiyeeee!

I've been a few times. It's pretty good. My wife really likes the place. The best things I've had from there has been their breakfast sandwiches (the Full English and the Garden Fritatta)
