The beef barbacoa sandwich was very good! Beef is tender and flavorful. The bread is soft and soaks up the sauce and flavors from the mixture. The staff is super friendly. Great spot to hit up if you come by it! And don’t forget about their house-made sauces!

I’m so glad I tried the descent sandwich from San Wich. After having a disappointing “Chilaca Asada” from Gus Taco, I was a bit skeptical to try something from the same team, but San Wich turned out to be a completely different game.

The slow-cooked beef barbacoa was truly amazing, paired perfectly with melted Havarti cheese and caramelized onions. The sandwich is made on a bolillo(a mini baguette-style bread) which had a beautifully crisp exterior and soft interior. It was fresh and nicely toasted, holding up perfectly without getting soggy from the juicy, tender shredded meat. That balance of crunch and softness, along with the ideal thickness of the bread, really stood out.

The hot sauce is a must. Their homemade habanero pineapple sauce delivers the perfect combination of heat and sweetness. Adding it to my torta elevated the flavors, and the homemade carrot and onion pickles added a bright, tangy contrast.

I loved every single bite of this sandwich and can’t wait to go back to try their homemade chorizo sausage & cheese and the Cubana sandwich. San Wich is just a solid sandwich spot with a variety of interesting options on the menu.

I’ll be frank, this spot was a letdown. I ordered the beef barbacoa sandwich for myself and the chicken milanesa for my girlfriend.

Service was very slow. I waited upwards of 20 minutes for 2 sandwiches. The sandwiches are somewhat small for the price. Most disappointing, there was no flavour! The sandwiches were very bland. No spices or salt detected. All I could really taste were the caramelized onions. The chicken was slightly better. I hope it was just an off day, considering all the other great reviews.

We’ve eaten here several times and all their food is delicious. Great portion sizes and flavourful sandwiches. I love the beef barbacoa, chicken Milanese, cubana, burritos, taquitos, fries, you name it 😋

A solid latin sandwich! Cubans. Adobo, saucy delicious! The hot self serve hot sauce and mayo added some serious kick as well. The sandwich was fresh and the bread fresh crispy and the filling super flavorful. Sweet and tangy and worth a try if you are Craving a hot sandwich for take away!

I absolutely loved this spot. We got the chorizo & cheese torta, and the chicharron burrito (and fries) and everything tasted so so so good. Very simple menu, but done so well. The staff were also very kind and welcoming, and also offered us samples of their agua frescas. Will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu!

The one and only thing to note is that there isn’t a lot of seating (we went in the winter time, so sitting outside wasn’t an option) but inside there is a bench and also a ledge against the windows.

My only regret is waiting to long to try this spot out! The beef barbacoa is one of the best sandwiches I have had in a really long time. The meat was juicy and flavourful and the all the flavours came together wonderfully!

What a gem in the neighborhood. Tried this today and I’m sure will be my go-to for delicious Mexican sandwiches.

My favourites? Chorizo and cheese (chorizo and cheese) & Pierna en adobo. Or the Torta Cubana so you get the best of those two!

Finally a place with very housemade and fresh meats and ingredients. The fresh fruit waters are also amazing, that cucumber-lime is a killer!

So happy to have discovered this lovely and delicious place, thanks to the staff in the front who are extremely nice and explained me every option in detail! So excited to be back soon!

Truly cannot recommend this place enough! We’re out for a walk and wanted a sammy for a picnic! Service was absolutely incredible. We got samples, great suggestions, and left very happy! One thing to note is eat your sandwich right away cause they’re juice and you don’t want it to get too soggy but can’t WAIT to visit on our next trip!

very greasy, way too much meat/eggplant to bread ratio. the wrappings were dripping in oil when we opened the it up. our sandwiches were pretty hard to hold with both hands, let alone keeping all the toppings in one bite. the thin bread pretty much slid off immediately after opening it so we had to reconstruct the sandwich a couple times. we ordered the cubano and eggplant, but found the cubano was mostly pork with literally only a few coin slices of pickle, onion and a ton of cheese. the eggplant was sliced way too thick and was tough to hold intact with the thin bread. the accompanying hot sauce and garlic mayo were great. all in all, i think we just got a sunday lunch with a new chef. still think this place has potential!

Found this little gem of a sandwich shop in the Dufferin-Bloor area. This sandwich, Beef Barbacoa, was excellent - Moist, flavourful and so filling. Will definitely be going again. Highly recommend.

I tried the Chicken Milanese sandwich and it was decent, but didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The sandwich came with a great combo of hot sauce and garlic/spicy mayo, plus a side of jalapeños which added a nice kick. The flavours were there, but something about it just didn’t fully come together.

That said, the sauces were solid, and I could tell there's potential here. I'm definitely open to giving it another shot, the rest of the menu looks promising, and I’m curious to try some of the other sandwiches.

Not my favourite this time, but not writing it off yet!

I tried this small takeout place last Friday and it was so good that I went back the next day for seconds. Such friendly staff, this place is off the beaten path close to Dufferin subway station. The Chicken Milanese sandwich was so delicious! Also had the Cubano which was equally as good! If you love sandwiches this is a must try spot.

Both (cubana and beef barbacoa) were super delicious!! the garlic mayo dip and jalapeño pepper were good additions as well. The hot sauce also had a lovely smokey flavour.

Worth noting that on google, the menu tab says the beef barbacoa contains avocado. Upon asking, they said it didn’t, but they added it free of charge :)

I got the beef barbacoa sandwich to go. It was good but felt like it had muted flavours. Didn't realize pop in anyway. I was happy to eat it and I enjoyed it but I wouldn't run back to eat it again.
