H STEAKHOUSE SANDWICHES

John Anderson, Editor

The latest venture for Chef Luis Herrera is H Steakhouse Sandwiches located off Jose Marie Morelos on the street across from Paulina Concept store in the Art District of San Jose del Cabo. During the high season, Chef Luis and his father Luis offer four+ course dinners served family style in the H Garden venue. This year, Chef Luis decided to pursue his dream of having a unique sandwich shop. Open from 2:00 to 9:00 pm on Wednesday through Sunday, H Steakhouse Sandwiches offers guest four unique sandwiches, four choices of French Fries, some great sides and a combo that includes Fries and a drink. Since opening less than a month ago, Chef Luis says that business has been brisk with most being either take-out or delivery.

We decided to go for dinner on Sunday night. Chef Luis greeted us at the door and welcomed us to the restaurant. Just inside the entry, a large menu in both English and French has replaced the large painting. We stood and looked at the menu for a moment before taking a seat at a table. During the season when H Garden Venue is serving its unique family-style dinners that change every week or two, the tables are covered with white table cloths, napkins and fancy china. Now, for H Steakhouse Sandwiches, it is a simple casual atmosphere. Luis brought us the menus and asked what we would like to drink. Both Beth and Tanya selected the limonadaminerale and I asked for a Diet Coke.

To get a great sense of the menu, we ordered a side of Steakhouse Mac & Cheese to share as a starter. Tanya chose the Prime Rib au Jus Dip with truffle fries; Beth selected the Chicken Parmigiano sandwich and I ordered the Chicken Caesar sandwich. The first thing to which we reacted when the sandwiches arrived was how large they were (we all took half home with us!). Served on a large-crusty roll, they were piled high with the combination of the meat and the trimmings. There were lots of fries and a small plastic ramekin of ketchup. The truffle fries were crispy and delicious. It is clear that these sandwiches were prepared by a chef and not just a server in a sandwich shop, with the best ingredients and combination of flavors. My Crispy Caesar Sandwich truly was chicken inside a Caesar Salad with traditional dressing. It was amazing! We were all very happy with our sandwiches, the portion sizes, flavors and Chef Luis’ attention to detail.

To finish off the meal, we decided to share the warm chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Each order comes with two cookies with lots of chocolate chips.

We are sure that H Steakhouse Sandwiches will be a great success. One of Luis’ cooks has a motorcycle and was rushing off to deliver orders while were there for dinner.The prices are very reasonable for what is offered at the restaurant.
