Here are some pictures from a visit to DeSimone Delicatessen in Orange that I took a couple weeks ago. Since they had a sign that said they had “The Best Cuban Sandwich is Orange County”, I had to try it. The Cuban ($5.70) isn’t a typical sandwich I would order, but I had to admit it was pretty good. What really made the sandwich was the bread that had the perfect crunchy crust while a forgiving inside bread that wasn’t at all doughy. The woman working behind the counter was really nice (might have been the owner) and I was impressed with their small all you can eat salad bar that had great cole slaw along with macaroni, potato, and bean salad. I’m looking forward to trying many more sandwiches at DeSimone.
Check out my buddy Jeff’s review of DeSimone’s over at Food Frenzy at the OC Register.

Did you happen to notice the “1 free refill” sign on the drink machine?…..they offer all you can eat potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw and baked beans but they stop you at a .o3¢ soda refill………CraZy!……….other than that, a nice little deli shop……..
Yeah I saw that, was sort of weird that they allow one but not the other. But hey if that's what they feel they need to do.
Nice. Been meaning to go back here. I love their Cuban. The bread really is perfect for it. And I love dining in for the salads, the beans are delicious.I also took home some chicken salad once and it was really good. Very simple, just how I like it.
I know where I'm eating lunch tomorrow! Yum.
