English breakfast and jacket potato.

Food was awesome and reasonably priced. I know yelp isn't usually the go-to review place for the UK, but for us visitors it's helpful. We ordered jacket potato w cheese and beans and English breakfast. They came with tea or coffee. We went twice and tried both. They were hot and delicious. Not sure how both of us were able to eat for less than $30 ( yes that's $ not £) but I think it was a great deal considering the hotel wanted 30£ each for their buffet. Don't expect fancy here. It's quick, hot and clean. You'll be on your way fast which is why you're there, right? This is near charing cross road tube and across st from crypt at st Martin's (clean toilets).

Egg, beans, and mushroom on toast, cappuccino wtih oat milk, coffee, and English breakfast.

Service was kind and speedy. The food was absolutely delicious. We came around 10:30 on a Saturday and it definitely gets busier. Convenient location right next to The National Gallery.

Cute little shop with some of the fastest service I've seen in Europe! I was looking for traditional English Breakfast and this meal hit the spot. Very centrally located so I would recommend coming here if you are in the area.

See all

Project Sandwich - El Jefe

Project Sandwich

King's Cross

So basically the El Jefe has ruined other sandwiches for me. Thanks, Project Sandwich. Sure, I can…read morestill get a decent sandwich elsewhere, enjoy the first few bites but then I realise, oh, this isn't a delicious cuban sandwich lovingly prepared with good quality ingredients that's so huge I could never finish it all. All sandwiches should strive to this level. The first time I had an El Jefe I even saved the half I couldn't eat (I don't do leftovers) as consigning it to the bin was just too sad of a fate. The second time I had one I brought someone else along. The pork has some really interesting spicing - to the point that at first, I wasn't sure I even liked it. But yes, it's delicious. Even the ham is warmed through on the flat top before going in. It's all generously sauced before being pressed into a flat, hot, crusty delicious hunk of food. Just try it. If you don't like it, call me. I'll come have the other half!

I've tried several different Cuban sandwiches before. They've been pretty good for the most part…read morewith a couple I'd dare say were very good. But they all pale in comparison to the Sandwich Project and their El Jefe. It was a drizzly day when I came here on the recommendation of my wife. I dare say it was because of the iffy weather that they weren't all that busy - in fact on this particular day, none of the collection of excellent stalls at Kerb at Kings Cross were busy. Ordering is simple - they do two sandwiches, one was the El Jefe, the other was a club sandwich of some description with a fried egg. You pay, get a number and then wait. But don't go too far, because watching the detail and effort they put into the sandwiches is worth the price of admission alone. For example, with the El Jefe - they put the ham and pork on the flat top. I've only ever seen that done for a sandwich on shows like Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, and films like Chef - I've certainly never heard of it being done in a British restaurant or streetfood vendor. The best I've had before was someone fried the sandwich in butter, but the ham never touched the grill. Immediately I'm enthralled. Then they finish the up on a plancha! They had an actual plancha! Ok sure, it could have been a panini press in another life, I'm no expert, so I wouldn't know the difference by looking at it. But it did the job - it pressed it down into an edible size and toasted the bread. As for the sandwich? Sublime. I no longer know whether this or Liberty Cheesesteak's original cheesesteak is the best sandwich in London (that Cheesesteak has been my undisputed king for several years). It's a close tie, certainly. That is how good the El Jefe is. The London sandwich scene has a new challenger!
