Combo Wins

I've previously written about the baked chicken sandwich from Sophie's Cuban. Somehow I haven't been back in almost 6 months (not sure why, since I really liked the sandwich), but I wanted a tasty sandwich from somewhere close and Sophie's fit the bill.

Sorry for the mess on my desk behind lunch...

Last time, I only got the sandwich, but this time I got the combo. The sandwich is $6.95, but the combo - which includes a bottle of water (or soda) and soup (or rice & beans) - is only $8.99. To me, soup and a bottle of water for about $2 wasn't a bad deal.


The soup of the day was beef soup. I don't really eat much beef, so most of it ended up going to waste (although I did eat some small pieces). But I liked the flavoring of the broth and the soup came with tons of vegetables. I was glad I got that instead of rice and beans, which would have been much heavier.


The sandwich was actually better than I remembered. The mayo and onions add good flavor and texture, and I love how the baked chicken gets pulled off the bone and put right into the sandwich. My only regret was that I forgot about the green ("spicy") sauce until the last minute. I guess that's a compliment to the flavors of the chicken and other sandwich ingredients that I forgot about the sauce, unlike A's goodburger ketchup drowning.

Sophie's has a bunch of combos, depending on whether you're getting a sandwich or other food. The grilled chicken looked pretty good today, but I was in the mood for a sandwich. Craving satisfied.
