The tiny place used to be a very good solid 5-stars spot for sandwiches. They still have long lines of customers here during prime hours and sandwiches are usually very good with the green sauce. Menu is long and awesome with great varieties to choose from. Portions are huge and one sandwich is plentiful which can be easily shared among two people for sure. Nowadays, the experiences aren't the same anymore and perhaps, it's been under new people management or something. It's been lacking some logistics and sometimes, it's difficult to hear the order being called out while lots of customers are inside. I told the front staffs that I wanted my portobello chicken sandwich $15.99 and the watermelon beverage $7.99 for here/dine-in. I even left them over $3.50 tips here. While everyone else picked up their orders very fast, mine was stuck somewhere in between others. They all got table numbers except me. I even asked if I needed a table number since I was planning to dine-in, but nobody answered or wanted to respond. They were too busy preparing sandwiches. Wait time to receive order was a bit over 15 minutes. I ended up standing around waiting and waiting, thinking about why I even tipped the place when my anxiety levels were escalating. Without a table number, how would they even know which table outside to deliver my orders to? Portobello chicken sandwich was very good though. Ingredients are full. Ciabatta bread was huge. This thick sandwich can definitely feed two people. Watermelon beverage tasted good too. Tables weren't all wiped down outside, but I can see the few employees hustling and bustling. It's still a strange feeling to not have a table number assigned to me while others did have one. Overall, sandwiches are still good and portions are generous. People love coming here. I think the staffs need more management briefing. They are all hardworking, but the front counter service leaves an impression and feeling about the overall experiences here. read more

Drive by this place often and finally decided to try it today. I ordered the Torta Mexicana with chicken instead of carne asada. They definitely don't skimp on the filling, the sandwich was packed with flavorful chicken, and the sauce paired really well without overpowering everything else. I'd definitely come back and try more from their sandwich selection. They also have a good variety of drinks and coffee options. Parking was easy with plenty of space in the back. The restaurant itself is spacious, clean, and has both indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of tables available. The menu is clearly displayed on the wall, and ordering was quick and efficient. read more

I went to The Best sandwich and ordered a Cuban sandwich $15 + tax Overall, I would give it a 6.5 out of 10. The service was normal, nothing special. The sandwich was decent, it did the job but wasn't very impressive in flavor. Café The latte didn't really taste like a latte, but it was still okay and helped me because I was hungry. Ambiance was quiet. Overall, the experience was acceptable. I might come back in the future, but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Today, I'm in the South Bay Area. It's just another day in the South Bay Area. Everytime I'm going down S Main St. towards the Great Mall, I would see this Shop. Today, I'm here at The Best Sandwiches in Milpitas this Sunday Afternoon. Ya, heard me. I said The Best Sandwiches. When they say they have The Best Sandwiches around here, I believe it. Shawarma derives from the Turkish Kebab. This order was made Custom. I gotta have a Beef Shawarma Sandwich with Avocado, Poblano Chiles, and Portobello with Hummus. And it felt like they used some Cumin to season the Shawarma, it gave that Smokiness to the Beef. I was thinking this was going to be a 3.8-4.3 stars, but I give this 4.2/4.3 stars out of 5 stars. It was a good Sandwich. read more

Picked up 4 sandwiches for a small group to haver for Super Bowl. I liked the ordering system they had as it allowed you to schedule a window to pick up food at. Also the ability to customize sandwiches and all the options was nice as well. When we picked up the sandwiches the inside was clean and decorated nicely. Food was ready and packed nicely when we arrived at the scheduled time. As a group we ordered and would rate each as Torta Cubana 4/5 Roast Beef 3/5 Pastrami Sandwich 3/5 Carnitas Torta 4/5 In general all the sandwiches had good bread, The Torta, French Baguette and Ciabatta were very good, The sauce condiments and extras on the sandwich were good as well and the pairings for the sauces with the cheese and vegetables all worked from a taste perspective. The issue was primarily with the Pastrami and Roast Beef. Both were cut very thick and were tough and chewy. I feel like if the meat is that tough and chewy for a sandwhich you have to slice it very thin, or if you're going to make the cuts that thick then make sure the meat is tender. With that said the carnitas, turkey and ham in the other 2 sandwiches were very tender. The other issue which was minor was the sandwiches weren't tagged identifying which was which. I would go back as overall the experience was good I just would avoid the tougher meats. read more

I wasn't sure what to order, but I opted for the torta cubana, which comes with slow cooked pork, turkey, ham, cheese, pickles, mayo, and habanero sauce. I had the habanero sauce removed, and the sandwich was fantastic overall. The bread was soft, the meats were delicious, and everything was put together really well. I also liked the portion size, which was filling and well worth it. Customer service was good. There is plenty of parking available, which is nice. The dining area inside is limited and can fit about two to four people, but they also offer outdoor seating. I also liked the outdoor decor, which added a nice touch to the overall vibe. read more

Pretty good sandwich, packed with meat. The pork is my main focus and even though there is so much sauce and other cuts, the pork can still be tasted (pretty good flavor). Although, my only issue was that it's a pretty wet sandwich so it was hard to eat but that's not really a big issue. The sandwich was $17 with tax and I didn't even finish all of it. It's a pretty good deal so I'd give it like a 4.3/5 personally. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 We only ever order the gourmet chicken sandwich here (we tried the torta cubana but it was too salty and while the hibiscus and roses tea is good, all the drinks are made with corn syrup), but it's usually soo good! The poblano peppers inside offset the savory chicken so well and the green sauce (savory cilantro lime sauce?) it comes with is so yummy. I don't know what happened today though, the chicken was super rubbery which kind of took away from how good the sandwich usually is :/ Hopefully today was just a one-off thing, usually we love it! Servings here are pretty big, they cut the whole sandwich into two and I'll usually eat one half and save the other for the next meal. There's plenty of covered outdoor seating if you dine-in, and parking is shared with a few nearby places but there's usually plenty of spots available. read more

The Best Sandwiches - gourmet chicken sandwich with savory cilantro lime sauce - Sandwiches Near Me - Milpitas, California

The Best Sandwiches has been one of my favorite spots for a while--especially their torta Cuban, which is still my go-to order. A couple of months ago, I honestly would've given this place 5 stars without hesitation. The sandwich used to have a really rich, layered flavor, with the meats working together to create something super satisfying and well-balanced. Recently though, I've noticed some inconsistencies. It seems like they've started swapping in turkey for some of the meats, and it just doesn't hit the same. The turkey comes off a bit saltier and lacks the depth and richness that the original combination had, which takes away from what made the sandwich so memorable. Another thing is the bread--sometimes the ciabatta isn't even toasted, which feels pretty random and definitely affects the overall texture. A good press or toast really makes a difference for a sandwich like this, so it's a bit disappointing when that step gets skipped. There was also one instance where I asked for extra onions and green sauce, and the owner wasn't too willing to accommodate, which caught me off guard. That said, it's still a solid spot if you're hungry and want a filling sandwich. I just wish it was a bit more consistent, because at its best, this place really stands out. read more

My wife introduced this place, The Best Sandwiches, to me awhile ago. Though, I think this was a different name and owner before. They used to have this apricot chutney and spicy herb green saice. But, this place has a somewhat similar menu to before. The place is small and has two small tables inside. House music and complimentary chilled spa water. They do offer patio seating outside. Order via kiosk and/or cashier. *Torta Cubana: unique marinated slow cooked pork, turkey, ham, cheese, pickles, mayo, and habanero sauce on a ciabatta bread. Served with habanero pickles onions (4/5). This is a huge sandwich packed with mounds of meat! It also is a messy sandwich when you put on that habanero sauce. I mean you don't need it because the sandwich is savory already. Support your local business. read more

Sadly, i think I'm done with this sandwich place. I've tried the Milpitas location and the San Jose location and both times the sandwiches were made incorrectly. Today I called in sandwiches 30 minutes before I was arriving. When I get there they didn't make them. I ordered 2 Torta Cubano's - they didn't include the habanero onions. I ordered 1 veggie sandwich with no tomato and no chimichurri. What do I get? Tomatoes, chimichurri, and NO avocado. The amount of spinach was ridiculous. The bread was totally dry. Extremely disappointing. My last experience was a large group order that was only 60% right but I didn't review thinking it was a bad day. It's very unfortunate because I used to regard them as the best around. They've gone down to zero for me at this point. I work too hard to pay for this type of subpar product. Back to Ike's as the preference I guess. read more

The name speaks for itself. Meat, veg, bread ratio is on point. The Torta Cubana is not a traditional Cubano, it might be better! It's made with ciabatta bread and it's not pressed, but the flavors are all there and the meat is exceptional. The ciabatta actually absorbs all the meat juices and sauces nicely. When they offer their green sauce and pickled onions, always accept and ask for more cause one container of each won't be enough for the size of these sandwiches. They're yuge! I can finish one whole sandwich, but in all honesty, really should eat half at a time. There is no seating inside, but they created an outdoor patio in the parking lot that can seat about 20 people. The servers are always very friendly, but the service is slow. The times I have gone, granted they were lunch, but took at least 30 minutes before receiving my order. Trust, it is completely worth it. The Torta Mexicana and empanadas are also solid if you want to switch it up. read more

Food: My husband has gotten their veggie sandwich twice now and this was my first time trying this Portobello Chicken Sandwich. AMAZING. The chicken was pretty flavorful and they put lots of veggies in it too! I love their Chimichurri sauce. YUM. Service: Great! Everyone was friendly and food came out within a reasonable amount of time. Ambiance: Basic little sandwich shop. You order, take a number, and they bring the food out. Most people take the sandwiches to go. They have a cute little patio outside where you can eat. Overall: Their sandwiches are so good! I definitely want to come back and try their breakfast! read more

Another update! Our family was around for Christmas time and one of their requests was to get the sandwiches. You know... "the sandwiches." And we knew what they were talking about. There's a couple small 2 person tables inside, but if you do stay inside, you'll smell like food. There's also a very clean bathroom. I had to brush my teeth there as I'm still working on my Invisalign treatment and I felt comfortable cleaning my teeth in there. The main tables are outside. So if it's raining or super cold, just be aware and adjust your clothing or perhaps bring it home. This last time we went, I had a kale smoothie. The drink comes with a wooden/bamboo like straw! How novel and I guess in theory you could reuse this and bring it home. I think it's much better than a paper straw. The kale smoothie was exactly what I needed as I was eating a lot of heavy food as our family was over and it was light and refreshing. Our family loved their sandwiches and still good and full of flavor and can easily feed two people per sandwich. Yes the sandwich can be a bit oily but I think it comes with the territory of that type of sandwich. Parking can be a struggle so try to avoid lunch rushes. Overall, still a solid sandwich spot and might I say still "The Best Sandwiches" and live up to their name. read more

I came here after hiking with friends at Sunol Wilderness Regional Preserve. We came right around 11:30 and it was just starting to get busy. We sat outside on the patio with our friends and dog. There are plenty of options for shade or sun. There are only one or two small tables inside. I had been here once before and wanted to try a new sandwich. Last time I ordered the egg salad sandwich with the mango mojito drink. The sandwich was huge and pretty good, but the mojito drink was my favorite thing we ordered! This time, I ordered the torta cubano and my fiance ordered the torta carnitas. Both were soooo good. The torta carnitas came with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, and onion, and carnitas. Mine was packed with ham, turkey, carnitas, pickles, and pickled onions on the side. (I asked for no habanero salsa/habaneros). They both also came with a green salsa that was delicious. It was citrusy, salty, and had a nice cilantro flavor. Our friends got the same sandwiches and also loved them. To drink, we ordered the mango mojito and the strawberry-kiwi mojito. They were so refreshing and perfectly sweet!!! The service was also excellent! It does take a little bit for the food to come, but there are only a handful of workers + it's so worth the wait!! Overall, mine and my fiancé's meals were a 10/10. I will definitely be coming back soon! I still need to try their breakfast and coffees!! read more

We arrived around 1pm, placed our order at the kiosk, and got our food 30 minutes later. There was definitely a lunch rush, causing the delay. The vibe is casual, but they definitely know how to make a sandwich!! My vegetarian friends-- there are 4 elevated vegetarian sandwiches and 10 salads-- you will have a hard time choosing. I went with the veggie panini with a fried egg added-- it was packed to the brim with grilled veggies and flavor-- very filling, served with a side of their famous green sauce, yummmmm!!! The eggplant and goat cheese sandwich is amazing too! Will come back again and again!! Parking is tight during a rush as they share it with the canteen next door. Given the wait, I might order ahead of time next time. read more

Ordered the turkey Sandwich. The presentation was perfect. It was well made with fresh produce and looked delicious.

Ruined my experience. read more

I saw the good reviews on Yelp and had to check it out. I got the Torta Cubana and let me just say the don't skimp on the meat. This was a massive sandwich and it had so much meat it was difficult to eat and keep together. Also they sliced it lengthwise (see photo) which was strange. That being said, it was super tasty. The ciabatta bread was soft and soaked up all the juices which made it extra tasty. All the meats were juicy, pickles were tangy, and you get this green sauce on the side which was delish. The service was quick and I didn't wait very long. I went on a weekday evening, so all the chairs were already on the tables, but they did have this nice patio which looked inviting. If you're looking for a HUGE sandwich that may be hard to eat but is delish then this is the place. read more

I ordered online Asian salad. On the description, it says the chicken is included with the salad. When I opened the box, there was no chicken inside. I try to explain to employee that on menu it doesn't say that chicken was additional fee, and they should change description on the menu if that was the case . This is false advertising, and I'm never coming back. Also I ordered for macadamia nut cookie, they gave me oatmeal cookie.

I got the turkey cold sandwich , didn't have any avacado in it which is the main reason I wanted the sandwich. My husband couldnt even eat his sandwich cause it took over twenty minutes to make and had to go back to work. Total was 44.37 Paid 30 cash and the rest on the card, they closed out the total and then charged another 14.99 for another pastrami sandwich instead of the 14.37 we would have owed. They were handling all of the food with no gloves which I will not eat the sandwich now. One girl had one glove on but still using the other hand with no glove to handle food. Our first time here and will not come back. I'm pretty sure handling food with bare hands is not sanitary. Should have asked for a refund and left but was so turned off and just wanted to get out of there. 44 bucks down the drain. Curious as to why this place got a 4.2 We both threw out the sandwiches . Couldn't even get past how disgusting handling food with no gloves is. read more

The Torta Cubana was a massive amount of meat. If you like straight up protein and no veggies (except pickles), this is exactly for you. I thought the sandwich was heavy, but still tasty and well constructed. The crispy bits of the pork were the best part. The green sauce and pickled onions gave everything some needed acidity. It really changes the eating experience. I'm glad I tried the Torta Cuban my first go around. read more

I always get the Torta Cubano. It's excellent, and you will not be hungry after eating it. They don't skimp, it's huge!

When I entered it seemed like a hole in the wall type of place with one customer inside and one worker cooking the food. I was trying to use the self serve kiosk, but it was not working. It took a minute or two before I was acknowledged by another worker that came from the backroom. Many people started to come in after me and said praises of the sandwhiches. The sandwich was full of meat, though was missing the cheese that was stayed on the menu. I can see why people like this sandwich, however the flavors of the meat were less than I would prefer. This sandwich could use pickles. And the pork was charred which was a bit too much for me. Personally the sandwich could use more flavor and the customer service could be better. However if you order ahead and pickup you can get a meal that fills you up and many people seem to like. read more

Came during opening on a sunday morning. Food was slow to come out but it was early morning so its understandable. The Thai tea.. needed way more condensed milk. Traditional thai tea is not supposed to have a bitter taste, if anything it's supposed to be creamy and on the sweeter side. But! It did taste like the brewed the right tea leaves. I added condensed milk when I got home and it tasted way better! 2/5 Eggs Benedict was average, wish it was a poached egg instead of an over easy egg. It is not that great to go as the bread does get soggy very easily, and the hollandaise sauce is not that prevalent throughout the dish. The eggs Benedict sits on top of a lot of spinach which was fine, but not very flavourful. Wished they added a sauce of some kind for the salad. Also the onions were burnt and bitter. 1/5 Cubano torta was full of protein. Sandwich was huge! Nothing really stood out in terms of flavor though. Was good with the side of salsa and picked onions 3/5 read more
