i finally tried papa lima in my hood last night-362 bedford ave brooklyn 718.218.7720 i have been meaning to check it out. my friend told me it was good but $$ WOW she wasn't kidding!
i ordered 2 sandwiches, a chili (DUH), 2 bags of chips and 2 gus' pickles (FYI the best pickles ANYWHERE! half sour perfection pickles) the grand total was $31 and change!!!! daaaaaamn! i had the 'evil reuben' (how could i not w a name like that?) which consisted of turkey, provolone, cole slaw (good home made stuff) russian dressing on perfectly toasted marble rye and the 'pablo honey' (turkey , american cheese, shredded lett, CHIPS, and mayo, on whole wheat with a side of GRAVY for dipping!)
now, mind you this stop wasn't as i would have liked to have done things; i was in a bit of a dash to get to my destination and called ahead so my stuff would be ready. so i had the guy on the phone tell me some sandwch options bc i had no menu :( if i did i prob would have ordered one (or all) of the following:
'sir beefy' (another great name!)- roast beef, cheddar, tom, shredded lett and horseradish sauce (mmmmmm), 'pete's secret egg salad' or the 'ss minnow' - fresh tuna salad, arugula, tom, and lemon vinagrette.
i will say, the 2 guys runnin the joint were extra nice and they had just made the chili fresh. when i was checking out one of the dudes pulled fresh baked cookies out of the oven. these were YUM. they were ginger orange cookies with some kind of nuts. mind you i don't even like orange or nuts (esp in my cookies) but these were tasty and it was nice to know these people actually bake on premises.
all in all i say check it!
