This tiny strip-mall take-out spot has only one table inside plus two outside. The specialty at Banh Mi Ba Le is super delicious, cheap Vietnamese sandwiches that consist of a large crispy sandwich roll (made so crunchy by using a combination of wheat and rice flour), a choice of stuffing
. They are spiced with green chili peppers and fluffed with cucumber slices, shredded pickled carrots, pickled daikon, and cilantro. Of the ten choices, I favor the #7 (very red barbecued pork) and the #5 (meatballs that seem more like unstuffed sausage), but bacon and tofu veggie ham are also among the possibilities. To order, just get in line and choose your filling. Several other enticing take-out items are available in a deli case, and some unusual drinks are in the fridge. Try to refrain from eating in your car because you’ll wind up with a lot of crumbs.
