P:
Loquito - Chicken Breast, Avocado, Lime Juice, Jalapeno Rings, Sour Cream, Tortilla Chips, Monterey Jack Cheese, Lou's Special Sauce, on a Soft and Sweet Roll, toasted
J:
Design your own - Soft and Sweet Roll, Turkey, Everything (Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onions, Pickles, Lou's Special Sauce, Jalapeno Spread), Avocado
Notes:
Lou's is open 6 days a week, and on the weekends at least, there is always a line out the door - which may have been the reason it took us so long give it a try.
I am VERY into sandwiches, I always have been. For some reason no one here in California seems to know how to make a good, basic, regular ol' submarine sandwich. Instead, sandwiches around here are always on some fancy bread or roll, with wacky fillings, and they're toasted. They're always toasted, for the love of Pete, always. What is so wrong with a cold sandwich? Now, I have nothing against those wackadoo sandwiches, or toasted sandwiches, but sometimes I just want a basic sandwich, with basic fillings on a soft white roll.
Well, I may have hit the mother lode at Lou's. I had to build my own, but I was pretty happy with what I got. The bread-to-everything-else ratio was a little off (the roll was a tad too big), but that was my only complaint. Okay, yeah, and the green leaf lettuce may not have been shredded iceberg, but I still enjoyed every bite. I heeded the advice of the menu board and went with their sauces, versus my preferred mayo+mustard (and oil & vinegar, when it's offered), and I regret nothing.

From their menu board:
Lou's Special Sauce is an aioli base spread which consists of garlic, mayonnaise and other natural herbs blended to perfection. The Jalapeno Spread has an olive oil base designed to complement Lou's Special Sauce to add a hint of spice! Ask for extra Jalapeno Spread to elevate the level of spiciness!!!
"TRUST US, YOU WANT LOU'S SPECIAL SAUCE AND THE JALAPENO SPREAD TOGETHER ON YOUR SANDWICH!!! TASTY AND DELICIOUS!!!"Trust us, it says! Tasty and delicious, it says!! (Trust them. They don't lie.)
Patrick isn't into sandwiches. Patrick was...well, he'll have something else next time. He picked one of Lou's menu board options - and Lou's has alot of 'em. This one just seemed to have too much going on for him, and it didn't hit home. I didn't care for it so much, but I was there for basic, and this one was wackadoo. Though, I will say that soft and sweet roll toasts up nicely.
We will definitely brave that line again for a delicious Lou's sandwich. Someday.
