You can create your own poorboy. A note 1/2 is plenty whole can feed a hungry person or shared by 2 average appetites.

The food is so tasty, it's hard to choose just one item. I have had the Ghetto Burger, which is juicy and seasoned meat.

The cost is economical and food is quickly prepared.

Night time would be scary, except on every visit last weekend (I was in town from BR and just kicked it in the hood for a few days) there were at least 4 guys (that I wouldn't mess with) "working" behind the counter. I'm willing to bet that they don't get robbed a lot. This is a classic bodega with all kinds of weird stuff and essentials. The Poboy. My local friends both swore up and down that it was the best catfish 'boy in town. I used to live in NOLA. I know what's up. Sorry guys, but they dropped the ball on this one. It was a big sandwich. Lots of catfish. The problems: 1) It took forever to make and B) SALT. This fish was so salty I couldn't even eat the sandwich. My friend's was the same. It was definitely an issue with the batter. Someone used a cup when they shoulda used a tablespoon. I was really disappointed. It looked delicious. The portions were splendid. Everyone in the store was nice and friendly. At least we got to watch the beginning of the Saint's game while we waited...

Something about getting a poboy from the back of a grocery store that makes it taste better, more…read more authentic....cheaper! Well, this little mom and pop store beside the highway in Mid-city is about as authentic as it comes, but not for poboys, for Cuban food. I can say with confidence that they do the best Cuban sandwich in NOLA. And it costs less than $5. They are super fast. Expect to be in and out in 5 minutes every time. Sin falta. Fastest Cuban granny this side of the Florida straits! They also do a first rate hot lunch: beans and rice, yuca with mojo, roast pork, and flan. Ropa vieja. Anything Cuban, they'll do it. Pre-Katrina it was a full scale operation, but the grandma who forms the foundation for the enterprise now just does food to go at the back of the grocery store. My wife is Cuban, and let me tell you that this place is the real deal...better than the real deal because the family who runs it came over just after the revolution and combines all they know about their country's pre-Castro cuisine with New Orleans knack for kick it up a notch flavor. But loyal to the wonderfulness of their culture, they don't ruin the original, which is even rarer. Instead they improve upon it, but with finesse. Roast pork, ham, swiss, pickle and mustard, perfectly pressed together with a Bustelo coffee and plantain chips? Look no further as you have hit gold, found paradise, located the source of eternal bliss cubano at the Regla store! I am a regular here. These guys are my small business heroes. A hidden treasure in quality and value. Give them some business and feel good about it both for you and for them. In my opinion, they could easily charge more, but do not. I am addicted to these things now, so I hope they keep everything just the way it is. A lo maximo!

By the way, they sell hot food here and the hot sausage po-boy is the best! I've gotten pretty addicted to that so I haven't really browsed around the menu besides trying the shrimp po-boy, gumbo, chicken plate and fish plate which are also good. Prices are also reasonable and don't break your pocket.

This is one of the hardest po boy joints to get into in New Orleans as they have such short opening…read morehours. Their operating hours are only being open from 11am to 1pm Wednesday to Friday with seafood poboys ONLY on Friday, so you need to be really nearby during the work week to sample this place, and it has taken me quite awhile to finally be able to fit a visit in. This is definitely a dive type atmosphere and has the bones of an old grocery store with a random assortment of shelves and coolers that have things in them and others that are empty or ancient. The roast beef po boy certainly doesn't rank up with my top choices in the area. The cheeseburger wasn't terrible and it also wasn't very impressive so maybe a bit under a McDonald's burger. The shrimp po boy is ok and probably the best option on the menu. Overall this place has plenty of old New Orleans character but they just are not in the top tier of po boy joints. Tip: Bring cash as you need it to pay here AND sometimes they close early.

We have been in this neighborhood for 10 years, and finally got a Barcia's po-boy for lunch…read moreyesterday. Place is clean, workers polite, peculiar hours open. We opted for ham & Swiss, "dressed". It was big & tasty, as good as we have found around here. For $8.50, fed & satisfied two. I noted that some "usuals" were not offered; but basics were there: cold roast beef, ham, specialty cold-cuts, hot sausage, etc. Barcia's has excellent reputation with near neighbors. Easy on street parking; I was on my bicycle. This is primarily a lunchtime sandwich place. Several tables are available for dining-in. Popular cold drinks, no alcohol. Although listed as a "grocery", I saw little or nothing, except sandwiches & chips for sale. Looked clean to me. Rick
