Sandwicheria now open

Springfield Ave. & Prospect

I tried (so far) the Carne Asada bowl with rice.  Very tasty, great flavors and quality beef.  I modified it a bit (no slaw).  Somewhat pricy but fairly generous portion, 15 yo daughter and I shared it and were satisfied.  They didn't have their green sauce but oh well - next time.  I look forward to trying the pork bowl and maybe eventually...a sandwich.  Nice quickish service casual addition to the hood!  


Is there a description of what the sauces are?

The pulled pork comes in a Peruvian pepper sauce. That's about all I could find on the site.

They listed a number of sauces - here's their descriptions compliments of ChatGPT:

These are a variety of Peruvian sauces, each with its own unique flavor and use:

  1. Crema de Aji Amarillo: This sauce is made from aji amarillo, a type of Peruvian yellow chili pepper. It's known for its slightly fruity flavor and medium heat. The sauce often includes ingredients like cream or mayonnaise, garlic, and sometimes cheese or nuts. It's commonly used in Peruvian cooking as a condiment or as part of dishes like Papas a la Huancaína.
  2. Crema de Rocoto: Made from rocoto peppers, which are red, hot chili peppers native to Peru. This sauce typically has a fiery taste and might include ingredients like onions, garlic, and mayonnaise or cream. It's often served as a condiment for traditional dishes such as anticuchos (grilled meat skewers).
  3. Crema de Huancaina: A classic Peruvian sauce, it's creamy with a mild spicy flavor. Made primarily from aji amarillo peppers, it also includes cheese (typically fresh white cheese), milk, and crackers or bread to thicken it. It's the key ingredient in the dish Papas a la Huancaína, where it's served over boiled potatoes.
  4. Crema de Aceituna: This is an olive sauce, usually made from black Peruvian olives. It's often blended with oil, garlic, and various seasonings to create a rich, savory spread or sauce. It's commonly used in sandwiches or as a dip.
  5. Crema Rosada (Golf): Also known as Salsa Golf, it's a mixture of mayonnaise and ketchup, similar to Marie Rose sauce. It might also include additional ingredients like brandy, Worcestershire sauce, or tabasco for extra flavor. It's often used with seafood dishes or as a dipping sauce.
  6. Crema de Huacatay: This sauce is made from huacatay, a Peruvian herb also known as black mint. It often includes ingredients like aji amarillo, cheese, and milk or cream, creating a unique and aromatic flavor. It's used in a variety of dishes, including as a marinade or condiment.

no salsa criolla? Looks like it’s already included in that sandwich you posted up anyway. It’s my favorite. But I love onions.


I'm glad it's finally open.

Ah, ya know what? The crema box looks exactly like an ad, so I mentally skipped it.


I tried all the sauces they had available (like I said, they didn't have their green sauce) and I was a bit underwhelmed - all were fairly creamy, one was cheesy.  Not terrible, but not for me.  Now give me a bucket of the green sauce from CHutzpah and I'll be in heaven... 


Great!  Now when my daughter cries out for Chipoltle, we have a much better alternative.

Contratulations and good luck,  Jason & Veronica!!!
