Here are some photos from a recent lunch at Super Pan Latino Sandwich Shop, the super popular Tuesday-Friday, lunch only spot from Hector Santiago of Pura Vida. Not much to add beyond what you have .
I’ve seen some people gripe about the hefty price of the food at Super Pan. Those threads remind me of the semester I spent in Europe, back in the sweaty summer of ’03. We’d be in fabulous cities like Paris, Rome, and Florence, and I had some friends that would complain about the cost of going out to a good meal. In order to “save” money they’d opt to eat street pizza or something similar. But then we’d go out to the bar and they’d drop $75 on shots and get black out drunk. I literally had one friend who would ask us every morning if we had a good time at the bars the previous night.
There are numerous ways to blow through money, and I don’t see why anyone gives a shit if Super Pan wants to charge $12 for a sandwich.
Oh and the photo above is head cheese toasts, below is the mole beef empanada and the fantastically porky medio dia sandwich.
