I came here hungry. I left humbled. This sandwich has strips of flank steak stir fried with peppers and red onion like the cook had something to prove. Not aggressively. Confidently. The kind of confidence that doesn't announce itself, it just delivers. Then there's the crema de cilantro and aji, which basically tag team your taste buds and ask, "You good?" Yes. I'm great. Mind your business. This is not a, "Instagram made me do it" sandwich. This is a composed, disciplined, shut up and eat sandwich. Every ingredient is there on purpose. No freeloaders. The owner is a Peruvian chef who lived in Canada and now cooks in New Jersey, which explains why this sandwich has flavor, restraint, and zero patience for mediocrity. This isn't fusion, it's life experience on bread. Fair warning: eating this will ruin weaker sandwiches for you. You'll start asking questions. You'll judge more. You'll be disappointed elsewhere. Peruvian soul inside, llamas, Incas, Cusco, with Maplewood graffiti keeping it honest. read more

Fast and friendly service. Clean tables and seats. And fantastic sandwiches. They're big and can get messy but it's worth the waste of napkins. Perfectly cooked, juicy steak on my lomo saltado sandwich. And my GF really enjoyed her pulled pork sandwich. We went for lunch but could only eat half of them, ended up saving the remaining halves for dinner. We will definitely be back for more! read more

This food is amazing! I really like the pulled pork sandwiches and the sauces are delicious! Friendly staff... I recommend coming back frequently! read more

Really great, tasty, fresh and filling bowls! Will definitely be back again to try more.

We split the chicken sandwich and the yucca fries. The sandwich was gloriously messy with tasty chicken breast and toppings that added crunch and tanginess. The yucca fries were well fried, not greasy . They came served with a green sauce and a side of a cheesy dipping sauce. read more

I'm giving 4 stars because this is a local business and I had been really looking forward to trying it. But I don't think I will be trying this food again. The fish patty in the sandwich was flat and thin and sort of rubbery, not what I was expecting. The chicken sandwich looked pretty good and my husband ate it. The pastry dough of the chicken empanada was nice and flaky but it was mostly empty and the dipping sauce wasn't provided. The chicken in the empanada had a sort of sweet taste I couldn't identify, not a bad taste though. The yucca fritta also came without the advertised dipping sauces (see photo). It was overcooked and over-salted. The Salchi Papas Bravas were OK, but not enough papas compared to the sausage. I think that's just not a dish for me, so that's on me. Some aji verde and some other sauces would have helped a lot. read more

New spot alert! Bringing Peruvian (street) food to Maplewood. Ok, nice, clean establishment. Waiter allowed me to take a quick photo of him delivering food to a table. I ordered my food to go but from what I could see being delivered to customers were some really yummy food. I ordered a couple of chicken empanadas and the grilled cheese. I was hungry so excited to try them out. Person at cashier did say this was a soft opening and the grand will be sometime soon. So the empanadas I didn't think would be too tasty once I opened them. However once I took a bite, I will say they were seasoned nicely and then dipped in the spicy sauce took it up a level. I hadn't had grilled cheese in a long time. This one definitely took me back to my home cooked meal days. It was cheesy and good. They use 3 different types of cheeses. Looking for a quick bite, stop in! They also offer a couple of veg options. So far, so good Sandwicheria!! read more

Good food and friendly staff. While they couldn't guarantee against cross contamination, they were able to steer me to options that met my gluten free needs. They had a free arcade game booth that was a fun way to wait for the food. read more

It was my first time coming into the establishment and it already smelled AMAZING! The place itself looked welcoming and had a great ambiance. I asked the gentleman for recommendations and one was the carne asada bowl. It was done within a good time and the staff was super amiable. As soon as I left I sat in the car because I couldn't wait and when that first bite hit it was so fresh and SUPER flavorful! The sauces were a great combo. This would be a trip I'd make again! read more

Great spot! The flavors were solid and portions generous. Service was fast and helpful. Slightly loud inside, but not a dealbreaker. I'll definitely consider coming back soon. read more

Food was great! Service was outstanding! Ambiance was exceptional! Great place to do a date

Went here for lunch today after reading some good reviews for this newcomer. My problem is I don't want to spend 20 to 25 dollars for lunch which there menu for Sammies or bowls is. So I tried 2 empanadas ( one beef and one chicken) at $5 each. They were very good but still pricey for the amount of food. I'm sure the place is good , but they have outpriced me for a lunch return. read more

Great place! Tried their carve asada bowl today. Packed with flavor. Very tasty. Yes, it's a bit on the pricy side, but you can tell they use quality ingredients. read more

Food and service were great! Establishment is clean and conveniently located. Staff was very pleasant and welcoming.

Fantastic food! We ordered a pulled pork sandwich, chicken breast sandwich, and steak bowl. All were huge and really well flavored. It is ~$16-20 per entree/sandwich, but as I mentioned, the portions are very generous. We are full and very happy customers. read more

Talk about a neighborhood gem! This clean, charming eatery offers insanely delicious, fancy sandwiches for the same price as other places that offer absolute junk. Try the yucca fries! (Better for you than potatoes but taste like and with the same texture as potatoes.) Try the pulled pork sandwich. Just come in and try something new. You won't be sorry. But do get two napkins! read more

We've always enjoyed the sandwiches from their food truck in town. What a joy that they've opened a restaurant! Tonight we enjoyed the carne asada, pork and veggie tacos. We loved the pork tacos and veggie tacos. The yucca fries and sauces were delicious. Desserts are yummy and enjoyed the bread pudding. Great customer service. read more

Outstanding! Not your traditional Peruvian spot but the food was reach in flavor, spices right on queue! The carne asada bowl, causa de pollo, and chef is Peruvian! You will not be disappointed! read more

Wow, this place rocks in service, tastiness and generous portions! The vibe is positive and the ambiance is tastefully rustic with good natural lighting. I really enjoyed the yucca fries and the juicy pulled pork sandwich and an amazing drink made with purple corn that was very refreshing and unique. I split the sandwich with my visiting sister and she too was quite impressed. I'll be returning soon to try all sorts of other things on the creative menu. read more

This is just a quick preview for I'll be back for another dose of deliciousness. It was a quick 1st visit. But let me tell you, the empanadas were so pretty in person, and delicious. The spices, just right,. The dough was light, moist and flavorful. The staff were very nice and friendly. I chatted with Jason. He and his wife own this very nice shop. The place is very clean and adorable. Jason has a mural on his wall depicting his Brazilian 1970's Volkswagen food truck. I fell in love with it. They also cater events, like weddings, from that beauty. I'll definitely hire them to cater my next event. Tell you more after my next trip to The Sandwicheria, Maplewood, NJ. read more

The Lomo sandwich is where it's at! Place is cool and vibey and owner/chef was a pleasure to talk to.

The sandwiches are filling and the service is great. The cashier was amazing in providing great recommendations. The sandwiches are incredible and so full of flavor! Definitely will go back read more

Absolutely love this place! A real treat and incredible flavors. Try it Definitely! I had seen him at the farmers market a while back but didn't try it. Now I'm sorry I didn't, but that could have been a good thing because all winter he wouldn't be there. Their hours are inconsistent but I personally take note of the days they are open. Just in case I don't feel like cooking. Very nice staff and don't be afraid to ask questions, I certainly had to and they were glad to oblige . Enjoy read more

My new favorite place. I will be back pretty soon. My family loved the lomo, the pork, and the carne asada sandwiches.

Amazing bowl! I loved the atmosphere. The owner was so kind and the cashier enjoyed sharing her favorites! Eat at this place! Best bowl I've ever had read more
