Recently, an "FOY" emailed me telling that Sangucheria had closed! I hadn't heard anything about that and decided to head on over during lunch to check things out. As I parked and walked on over....well, the place hadn't closed.
And since I was here; I decided to grab a Sanguches de Chicharron.....
The gentleman working was quite friendly and I ordered my Sanguches de Chicharron ($12) to go.
Like before, the sandwich uses a yeasty Telera roll. The pork was more seasoned than I recall, the pork was quite chewy, which is in line with what I'd had in Lima. I do wish the pork had a bit more "porkiness"....though here in the states, it's still "the other white meat". Previously, the sandwich came with pickled onions; this time it was with regular red onions. The aji provided was too mild and could use a but more kick...the verde version is the better of the two.
I would also vote to have more camote, as it makes little impact on the sandwich.
Too bad, because I really want to support a local, mom-and-pop place like this.
