Best L.A. Sandwiches Under $6

I still haven’t made it through L.A. Magazine’s sandwich list from last year, and here comes some more…  last week Serious Eats posted this great list of 14 sandwiches under $6.  Some are as far west as San Gabriel, and one is in Van Nuys- but there are a bunch right in my lunch’ing wheelhouse (the area between Downtown L.A. and Santa Monica). I’m already a big fan of the churrasco sandwich at Rincon Chileno, and the beef dip at Philippe’s.  But how did I miss the lebni at Falafel Arax!  Also need to try the wada pav at India Sweets and Spices, the basturma from Sahag’s, and the tuna from Larchmont Wine.  But the sandwich that has now vaulted to the top of my wishlist is the milanesa cemita from Angelica’s Cemita Truck on Venice in Culver City. Hot damn that looks good!

    I had the wada pav the other night after seeing the searious eats list. That sandwich is seriously delicious and it’s only $1.99, perfect with a mango lassi to cut the heat of the sauce they slather it with.

    Looks great! I’ve always hit Tatiana’s Tacos outside of El Agave for my westside cemita truck fix, but that might have to change now. Also, it’s way over six bucks, but I recommend the “San Biagio” at Venice’s Centanni Deli sometime. Yum!
