Really tasty and so worth for the price. There are submarines in regular and large size, and in various types, including chicken, sausage, crispy chicken and their signature. The submarines are really tasty. They have different kinds of juices too, which are both tasty and thick.

Tasty sub!!! Suitable for foreigners. We were little afraid but food was tasty and no problems next day. There was line of six local people in front of us, very demanded food! I got large mix sub with extra cheese and my gf got small mix sub. Both great Tip: ask for mayo after they toast the sub, might be better (warm mayo is not so good) Crispy chicken very good, chicken very good, sausage spicy and mediocre. They also make milkshakes but we didn’t try those. Good luck guys

The submarines were really good. Highly recommend the chicken submarine and Faluda! Staff was friendly and helpful. Just a heads-up: you might have to wait around 10–20 minutes, especially on weekends since it gets pretty crowded.
