    Great, simple sandwich place. It's popular with the office crowd at lunchtime - usually a queue but it goes quickly. The four guys behind the counter crank out sandwiches with a frightening speed and focus. I usually have a BLT or the bacon avocado sandwich - both are delicious, perhaps because I request extra butter. The sandwiches come with a free cup of soup which is actually quite bad - you can tell who's a regular by who politely declines the free soup. I've tried it a few times, usually managing to get a few sips down in the name of "eating things that are green is healthy" but most of it gets binned. Prices are reasonable, and the service is excellent. It's a tiny space and there's nowhere to sit, so head to a park or Covent Garden on a nice day. Or just back to your desk.

    Delicious little place, ate twice during our vacation. Hidden gem. A must try is their peanut butter, best I've ever had.

    Excellent sandwiches, fast service, friendly people and reasonable prices for large portions. I'm glad we found it.

    There's always a queue around lunchtime which is reassuring and dissipates remarkably quickly.

    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!

    This was my favorite lunch place when I was working in the area. It's a small space, almost…read moreexclusively takeaway, so it often looks like there's a long queue, but don't let that discourage you, as the staff are quick and efficient. They're also really nice and polite. Over the course of several visits, I tried the sirloin special, the coronation chicken, the chicken escalope, and the chicken/bacon/sweet corn sandwiches. I also tried the scotch eggs. My favorite was the coronation chicken, which I'd never had before (I don't think we have it in the States), but everything I tried was tasty and I'd be happy to have all of them again. The sandwiches are pretty reasonably priced at under £6, which is nice for an area where it's easy to spend the same amount on a cup of coffee and a muffin. I've always been in and out of the shop in just a few minutes, even when it's busy. Their prime lunch traffic seems to come around 12:30 and later; it was pretty empty the 1 time I went at 12. I've always been able to pay with my American bank card without any issues. Definitely recommend this place if you need lunch in the area! They also have breakfast, although I've never tried it.

    Best sandwich place around here. Their chicken escalope on granary bap is my personal favourite…read more Worth the walk if you are further away but lucky for me it's on my doorstep.
