The $2.50 empanada stand behind the laundromat outshines my usual $11 lunch spot
I work near the corner of 5th and Main and have been hitting the same sandwich place for months because it was close. Last Tuesday my usual spot had a line out the door, so I wandered behind the Sunshine Laundromat and saw this tiny cart with a handwritten sign for empanadas. Got one beef and one cheese for $5 total. They were crispy, stuffed, and honestly better than anything I've paid $11 for in weeks. The lady running it only does lunch hours on weekdays. Is it weird to make that my new regular? Anyone else found a hidden gem in a weird spot like a parking lot or gas station that beats the obvious options?

Honestly, the math is off since you're comparing two empanadas to one sandwich.

Man, I've been there. When I'm craving empanadas I'll grab two of them and it's honestly a full meal, but a sandwich is one thing. You gotta weigh the fillings too, like a good baked empanada has way more going on than some sad deli meat. Just order what fills you up and skip the food math.
