I stopped in to R&E Deli to grab a sandwich today. It's next to the El Conejito in Lake Forest. I decided to get their small Italian sub. ($4.49) The sandwich had Genoa salami, proscuito, mortadella, cappicola and provolone cheese. They put tomatoes, lettuce, onion and italian dressing on the sandwich. Hot peppers, mustard any mayo are available upon request. I asked them to hold the tomatoes on mine and to add hot peppers.



In my opinion, the sandwich was way overloaded with lettuce. The meats seemed inexpensive and flavorless. I didn't taste any onion. I was diappointed that the "hot peppers" were not pepperocinis or banana peppers like one would expect on an italian sub. Instead I got those nacho sliced pickled jalapenos. The sandwich reminded me of a cheap bologna sandwich with tons of lettuce and not much else. I have heard that other people really enjoy some of the other sandwiches served here, so I may try this place again and get something else. I would never again get this Italian sub though.


(This is all the lettuce that just fell out of the sandwich while I was eating it.)

So sad you had a terrible food experience. But at least, you were able to warn us about that sandwich.

Yikes! Those lettuce that just fell out can fill a small salad bowl.

This could be an isolated case, but whatever the case is, that shouldn't happen. It doesn't take a lot to be in the food business, but it takes tremendous effort to survive and thrive.
