Tortas Guicho Dominguez y El Cubanito

Wow! What a name!
This long named Fountain Square restaurant has a lot of gourmet Mexican sandwiches. I think it's fun that they name their sandwiches after celebrities. The #1 is the Salma H. which has chicken breast, ham, and mozzarella. Or the Shakira has breaded steak, chorizo and mozzarella. I went with the #10 Eduardo V.

It had ham, breaded steak, hot dog and queso blanco on it. All of their tortas come with mayo, avocado, and tomato.This super meaty sandwich was very, very filling! I ordered this because I was curious about the breaded steak and hot dog. The really nice waitress told me that they cut the hot dog length wise and cook it in a pan and press all the grease out. The breaded steak wasn't bad. I think because it was pressed so thin, it made it difficult to get very much beef flavor so it just tasted like breading. The bread was very thick and substantial enough for all of the meat and toppings. 

I definitely want to come back to this place and try a different sandwich. Maybe I'll get the France or the Enrique! If you're feeling really adventurous, you should try their Cubana Challenge! Eat 3 Cubanas in 30 minutes and get $100 plus entire table's meal is free! But if you fail then your entire table has to pay double. Let me know if you do it. :-)

We, at the Part-Time-Animal-House, watch a lot of shows about food and eating. It's probably why I've convinced myself that I'm hungry and want to eat ALL THE TIME. Even though I've seen this place a million times, I didn't want to go there until it was featured on Food Network's Diners Drive-in's & Dives. The dishes featured were unique mixes of ingredients that worked really well. We ordered everything we saw on the show and then some.

...And it was goooood...

For our breakfast item, we had Lemon Corncakes with Fresh Seasonal Berries. It's served with lemon curd or berry sauce. Our server, who told us his job was to bring us our food and drinks (that's good?), recommended the lemon curd. Even though it was good, I wish he told us we could get both sauces like he told the little girl at the next table. Guess it pays to be cute and 10. The corncakes were pretty good. They were light and sweet.

The fish tacos weren't special, but they were really tasty. Two corn tortillas (key for tacos) filled with flaky white fish and served with greens, salsa, guac, and chili mayo. Can't go wrong ordering these.

The best thing we ate, which I'm craving right now thinking about it, was the D'Nai. It's a slow roasted ham sandwich on a french roll with kale and pepper jack cheese. And it was FANTASTIC. Super juicy. Lots of flavor. I would have been ok with just ordering more of these sandwiches instead of the fish tacos and lemoncakes - really. It came with a dipping sauce. So if you plan on splitting this sandwich, make sure you split with someone that doesn't mind double dipping.

The fish tacos and D'Nai both came with sides. We chose the soup and homemade applesauce. Both were good. The soup was smoky and had mushrooms and other veggies. The applesauce was sweet and a good amount of cinnamon.

At 3 Sisters we had to order dessert. On DD&D, they had the blueberry pie with basil and goat cheese. And before you furrow your brow and say, "huh?", this pie was amazing. Everything was SO well balanced. As you brought a piece of the pie to your mouth, you'd smell the basil. Then after the pie was in your mouth, the goat cheese would mix really well with the sweet blueberries. Ugh, it was SOOO good.

Definitely, try this place out!

The Rating

For the D'Nai and blueberry, goat cheese and basil pie.
