Wanting to try lots of their offerings, I ordered several times over the past week.
1. Tamales... not impressed at all. They don't have the taste, texture or aroma of fresh tamales. These are obviously the frozen El Charro branded, somewhat dressed up with an overly dry minced beef "chili" topping and some melted cheddar. Definitely not worth 310 baht.
2. Little Joe Slider... nice one! Small burger (70g) served on a bed of homemade giardiniera and topped with "Italian cheeses". A little pricey for the size (170 b), but satisfying.
3. Buffalo Chicken Sandwich... huge rip off. For 310 baht, I expected a plump, juicy chicken breast. Instead, I got two measly, flat, dry and chewy chicken strips. The seasoning and Buffalo sauce were nice, but there wasn't enough of it. Same with the blue cheese. Those chicken strips might be acceptable on a slider version for 170 baht, but that isn't available unfortunately.
4. Italian Beef.... winner! Tender beef, thinly sliced, topped with homemade giardiniera and mozzarella cheese. It's not automatically served with a side of au jus, and there is no option on Grab to add one. You can contact them directly and ask to add, which they may do, but be prepared for the owner to complain about it. The quantity of beef was noticeably less than it was when they launched this sandwich last year, but still big enough and decently priced at 490.
5. Reuben.... winner winner! Huge portion of the Sloanes Pastrami (ie the best in Thailand) topped with melted Swiss, sauerkraut and "Ukrainian" dressing, served on some of the best rye bread I've had in Thailand, and fairly priced at 490. This sandwich is so good, it might be worth renaming the restaurant after!
