Los Toasties Deli Co., Where the Peoples Sandwiches are Served<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To paraphrase John 15:13, \u201cNo greater love a man has than this, that a man give up his life for a\u2026.sandwich.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

In an uproariously funny episode of the television show Friends, Joey, Chandler and Ross go on a ride-along with Phoebe\u2019s policeman boyfriend. Believing a back-firing muffler was actually a gunshot, Joey (sitting in between his two friends) dives, seemingly to protect Ross from harm.\u00a0 Naturally Chandler was upset that Joey would choose to protect Ross instead of him\u2026until he learns that Joey was actually trying to protect his sandwich.\u00a0 In the finest tradition of Dagwood Bumstead, Joey Tribbiani loved sandwiches; they were his favorite food.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how many Americans would \u201ctake a bullet\u201d for their sandwich, but\u00a0America is most definitely a nation of sandwich lovers.<\/p>\n

Sumptuous Sandwiches Being Created<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to\u00a0 the National Institutes of Health<\/strong><\/a>, “on any given day, 47% of adults ate a sandwich. A larger percentage of men (52%) than women (43%) ate sandwiches.\u00a0 Most sandwiches eaten by adults contained meat, poultry, or fish (79%). The most commonly consumed types of sandwich were cold cut sandwiches (27%), burgers (17%), and poultry sandwiches (12%).\u00a0 Among adults, nearly one-half of all sandwiches were eaten at lunch (48%), followed by dinner (31%), breakfast (13%), and snacks (8%).\u00a0 The source of sandwiches varied considerably by type of sandwich. Fast food restaurants provided about one-half of the burgers (59%) and poultry sandwiches (46%) consumed by adults, whereas over three-fourths (76%) of cold cut sandwiches or their ingredients were obtained from a store.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Soon All This Corned Beef Will be Pastrami<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the most wonderful aspects of sandwiches is the tremendous variety they offer.\u00a0 Several sources, including a 2018 posting by Delish have compiled lists of the “most iconic sandwiches in every state<\/strong><\/a>.”\u00a0 Delish based its compilation of “signature\u00a0sandwiches in all 50 states based on longstanding tradition, locally beloved ingredients and sandwich shops that have practically reached celebrity status<\/em>.”\u00a0 \u00a0As with so many similar compendiums, the default “sandwich” for New Mexico is our sacrosanct green chile cheeseburger.\u00a0 Surely the Land of Enchantment has a sandwich unique to our state that we can truly call our own.\u00a0 Many of us will argue that a burger is a burger; it is not a sandwich.\u00a0 A hot dog isn’t a sandwich either.\u00a0 Neither is a taco.\u00a0 When we want a burger, sandwich or taco, we don’t head to a sandwich shop.\u00a0 We head for eateries like Los Toasties, a “neighborhood deli serving up seriously delicious sandwiches made with love and a dash of fun.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Los Toasties made its Duke City debut in March, 2025.\u00a0 It’s located on Girard just north of Candelaria on the spot which previously housed The Cornivore Popcorn Company<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 If you’re not familiar with the area, you might drive past it once or twice before finding the Lilliputian spot with a bright yellow awning.\u00a0 It’s recessed from Girard and is easy to miss.\u00a0 A sprawling lot belies the smallish nature of the sandwich shop.\u00a0 Step inside and you won’t find any vestiges of the popcorn shop.\u00a0 Practically the second you walk in, you’ll be greeted enthusiastially, not with the usual wait schtick where you’re asked what you want before you have a chance to peruse the menu.\u00a0 Beffiting the restaurant’s size, it’s a small but mighty menu offering sandwiches sure to make your mouth water.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Where The Magic Happens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The enthusiastic welcome at Los Toasties extends to owner David, a heavily tatted dude happy to share information about his sandwich shop.\u00a0 We were ecstatic to learn that unlike so many independent sandwich shops in New Mexico, featured fare isn’t all a compendium of Boar’s Head<\/strong><\/a> products.\u00a0 \u00a0As David was simultaneously creating sandwiches for to-go orders, his friend Michael was prepping a number of slabs of corned beef\u00a0 for their magical transformation to pastami.\u00a0 Michael slathered the sumptuous slabs with mustard then coated them with a mixture of black pepper and ground coriander before ferrying trays of the corned beef to the small smokers on the side of the building.<\/p>\n

It was a given that my inaugural sandwich at Los Toasties would be the #1, a classic pastrami on rye<\/strong><\/em>, with Swiss cheese, hot mustard and pickles.\u00a0 Since discovering pastrami in a Boston suburb, my preference has been for fatty pastrami sliced in thin shards.\u00a0 David laughed that “New Mexico isn’t ready for that<\/em>,” but expressed confidence that I’d love his sandwich shop’s classic pastrami sandwich.\u00a0 It’s very lean and cut a bit thicker than I like, but I’d never kick a pastrami off my table.\u00a0 Especially not the Los Toasties version.\u00a0 A smoky flavor permeates the pastrami and the hot mustard provides a balancing tang.\u00a0 \u00a0The black pepper and coriander imbued the pastrami with a slightly hot with a subtle hint of sweetness while the pickles added delightfully sour notes.\u00a0 It’s a wonderful pastrami sandwich, one I hope to enjoy many times.<\/p>\n

Another of the meats smoked on the premises is turkey.\u00a0 It’s showcased on the smoked turkey sandwich<\/strong><\/em> (smoked turkey on a jalape\u00f1o bread with green chile, avocado, Cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato).\u00a0 In the true spirit of “have it your way” Los Toasties allows substitutions.\u00a0 My Kim, for example, wanted neither the jalape\u00f1o bread or the green chile.\u00a0 She also eschewed the lettuce and tomato and asked for the potato bread.\u00a0 So, essentially she what she had was a smoked turkey sandwich with avocado and cheese.\u00a0 \u00a0Sounds simple enough, but there was so much flavor in the combination of ingredients that she finished the entire sandwich (a rarity for avian apetite).\u00a0 The smoked turkey was rich, smoky and slightly sweet.\u00a0 It left a lasting impression on our taste buds.\u00a0 That little smoker out back really does a great job.<\/span><\/p>\n

Los Toasties daily menu of sandwiches lists six sandwiches, but options (substitutions, subtractions, additions) for constructing\u00a0 these sandwiches are virtually unlimited.\u00a0 An “Everything Else” menu includes such simple sandwich fare as a grilled cheese, ham and cheese and empanadas (crescent-shaped savory pastries filled with a variety of options and fried).\u00a0 Four salads–fruit salad, potato salad, pasta salad, bean salad–also grace the menu as do a number of snack items.\u00a0 Dessert is currently limited to Cotton Blues Original, Sea Salt Caramel, Strawberry or Blueberry cheesecake.\u00a0 Made in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the cheesecake reminded us how good pies and cakes in the Deep South were.\u00a0 Drinks menu include Yoo-Hoo<\/strong><\/a>, my favorite chocolate drink.\u00a0 In David I found a kindred spirit.\u00a0 His listing of the preferred Yoo-Hoo delivery methods–box, bottle then can–matched my own.\u00a0 Not everyone is a Yoo-Hoophile and wouldn’t understand this.<\/p>\n

Los Toasties is the type of sandwich shop Joey Tribbiani would probably push aside a few friends to get to.\u00a0 Come to think of it, I might do the same thing.<\/p>\n
