Was in the area and just needed some lunch - glad I picked this place.
I was given a warm “welcome back” by two employees as I walked in the door - I’ve never been here before, but they clearly want you to feel like you’re a regular. The gentleman working the register was engaging and had a smile on his face the whole time. He chatted up the regulars who have actually been there before.
I had the Cuban sandwich and sea salt fries and the Meyer lemonade. All were delicious.
Their menu board says they bake their bread daily and you can tell. The sandwich roll was soft and flavorful. The meat and cheese in the sandwich were flavorful, just what I want from a good Cuban sandwich. They deviate from “traditional” by using spicy pickles and a citrus mojo sauce instead of yellow mustard - traditionalists, you’ve been warned. The sandwich was tasty.
The fries were thin and crispy and just the right amount of salt (bordering on too salty, which is perfect for me).
The Meyer lemonade was great as well. They had a strawberry variety and a cucumber watermelon that I didn’t try.
I would say “it was a little pricey”, but everything is more expensive than it needs to be these days, and it’s walking distance from SMU - if you’re regularly eating in this part of town, you probably won’t mind the prices anyway.
Edit: I went back for dinner and had one of the lobster rolls. It was very, very good. It had lots of lobster and wasn’t overly dressed with other flavors.
I had the strawberry lemonade and a bit of the cucumber watermelon and both were great - better than the lemonade.
To the manager who was working there in the evening, I’d like you to know a couple of things:
1) the young man working the register was as energetic at lunchtime as he was at dinner. He was one of the reasons I decided to come back for dinner.
2) you seemed to be losing your patience with him and it showed in the way you talked to him. I know it’s unfair to tell you how to do your job after only eating in your restaurant twice, but I want you to know that I came back to your restaurant in part because of that same young man you were losing patience with, who was trying to be helpful and concerned about his dinner break. I hope you’ll continue to extend patience to him.
