Philly-Puerto Rican fusion sandwiches with signature "Jawn"
"In terms of sandwiches you literally could not find anywhere else, Papi Sal’s delivers in spades at Lollipop Shoppe, where the former food cart pops up. Philadelphia meets Puerto Rico whether it’s in a pernil potato hoagie, or the Italian “jawn” with capicola and salami. Keep an eye on Papi Sal’s Instagram for secret menu items and specials, like the chopped prosciutto and sofrito mayo Old Italian." - Alex Frane, Janey Wong
"Papi Sal’s, a Puerto Rican-meets-Philly food cart in Buckman, introduced eastern Pennsylvania vernacular to Portland in the form of “jawns.” It’s a multi-purpose term that can refer to, well, practically anything, including sandwiches. Papi Sal’s PDX Jawn is a border-hopping masterpiece that features tender pernil, swiss, hot peppers, and tangy escabeche on a hoagie roll from Dos Hermanos Bakery. Order tostones and salsa criolla on the side, and you have a solid dinner. This former cart now operates inside Lollipop Shoppe after 4pm, with a walk-up window on Grand Ave. " - krista garcia
