The pork is inconsistent, some peices can be juicy while others are a bit dry. Overall an excellent sandwich for only 6 bucks, well worth it. Just had one, no bad.

Tuesday I think, down in the crystal pavilion. The dude was sort of mindlessly constructing it and even though I told him no onions he still started to pile them on. I told him "I said no onions" and he took off some but I still had about a slice's worth left on it. sadface And then he 'dropped' the green sauce onto my sandwich. I figured it was intentional 'cuz i was being cranky but I said "don't worry about it" as if he were going to feign concern. lol oh well it was somewhere between ok and good. had lots of plantains. but that dude needs to get laid.

It's like $2 for 8 little containers. I love it, I could do shots of their green sauce. I always pay extra for the green sauce. It’s like $2 for 8 little containers.
