Chacarero

A few weeks ago, I took the T to Downtown Crossing to check out that famous non-food-related Boston institution, Filene's Basement. Well, it was everything that I had been promised. Too bad it is closing down, although I understand the closing is temporary.

I took the opportunity to grab a sandwich at Chacarero. Chacarero started as a food truck, which is automatically endearing in my book! I am not a huge sandwich fan, but these are pretty good. How can you not love something with avocados, green beans, and beef? The small sandwich was still too enormous to eat in one go, so I just kept eating it whenever I was hungry for the rest of the day. The sandwich bread doesn't really hold up that well for more than a few hours, but it was still fine. Great food, and a great food story of an immigrant who gained success by hard work and a good product.
