“One of the best Philly cheesesteaks I've ever had. $16 is a lot, but it's large enough that I got two meals out of it. I can't recommend the sandwich enough!”
“Canales' Cuban sandwich is a pleasant delight! I've tried a few different Cubano sandwiches throughout DC and have narrowed my favorites to two places so far: here (Canales Quality Meats) and Cuba Libre in Penn Quarter (whose sandwich I like a tad better).
The sandwich here is juicy if eaten soon after purchase (this is a butcher shop in Eastern Market!). It has a cylindrical shape to it, as opposed to the pressed appearance Cuba Libre employs for their sandwich.
It has a good balance to its bite, where you can taste the pork and pickles distinctly. The bread, too, was nice and soft, and it was neatly wrapped, so if you like to walk and eat (like my friend who went with me does), it's a great sandwich to do so!
The service was somewhat quick, perhaps a 5-minute wait time between walking up to the counter and reception of food. I haven't tried anything else here so far, but am interested to come back!
4/5 stars so far for sandwich quality, though perhaps a 2nd visit after another comparison with Cuba Libre's sandwich, it might go up to a 5. ?”
“Palisades Deli is one of those neighborhood gems that keeps people coming back. The sandwiches are always fresh, generously made, and packed with flavor. The bread, quality meats, and attention to detail really set it apart from typical deli spots. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the market selection is surprisingly convenient for grabbing a few essentials while you're there. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or a great sandwich on the go, Palisades Deli consistently delivers a great experience. Highly recommended for anyone in the Palisades area.”
“My go-to local spot for any product from the Middle East or Islamic world. Fair prices (a slightly upcharge for the convenience of going to AdMo and not NoVA), friendly owners, and an ever-changing selection of delectable spices and sauces. Best spot for fresh flatbread too.”
“Wagshal’s is one of a kind. The meats and seafood are as good as you’ll get in the DMV. It ain’t cheap but you get what you pay for - reliable first rate with impeccable service. The ground beef is as good as it gets. It’s our go to place.”
“We got ribeyes here to grill and they turned out well. They were all very large cut steaks about 1.5 pounds each. Their prices are not too far off from Trader Joe’s just around the corner and the quality is much better.”
