Coronado Subs, the Season of Love and Birthday celebrations

So... we're discussing multiple topics today....

I've mentioned before that it's always a good idea to try out your small local eateries, because you never know what you'll find.  Well, here's a prime example.  If you live in the south side of the Salt Lake Valley, you really should try out Coronado's Subs on the corner of 12600 South and 2700 West. 

We discovered it shortly after moving out here a couple years ago and I will not go to any other sub shop within 5 miles.  It's a small shop in a strip mall that could be easily missed as you drive by, but you'd definitely be missing out on a great sandwich.

Every sub on the menu can be served hot, thanks to a quick steam beind the counter.  All the bread is fresh and the portions are plentiful.  The 8" subs fill me up just like a footlong would at the other sub shops. 

Their menu runs the gamut of meat types and I've yet to find a bad one.  And they are always creating new concoctions.  I do have my favorites...

Their Buffalo Chicken sub is absolutely decadent.  Hot chicken, sliced up and laid upon a bed of lettuce and all the veggies, then drenched in a generous portion of buffalo wing sauce.  But you do have a choice of sauces to tame the heat; a basic ranch sauce or a thicker, rich bleu cheese, which is my choice.  

The Meatball sub is rich and flavorful with a great marinara sauce, which is then broiled so the cheeses blend into the sauce and perfectly brown on top.

And they have a barbeque beef sandwich that is GREAT!  The barbecue sauce is good enough that I'll grab an extra small cup of it to take home for other uses.

And the best part is that it's economical.  The 8" subs are around $5, but the sheer mass and flavor of the sandwich eclipses the five-dollar-footlongs elsewhere.  You can go for their 12" subs for around $8, but plan on not eating for the rest of the day... or saving the other half for your next meal.

So if you're in the south end of the valley and are feeling hungry, stop by and grab a sandwich,  Tell them That Means We Get Pie sent you.
