Our Tuesday Lunch Box is a throw back to Chef’s time at the iconic Sahadi’s here in McAllen. Smoked turkey with melted provolone and pico de gallo, but the star of the show? The habanero mayo seasoned with Matouk’s Calypso sauce. Served with veggie soup and only available Tuesdays 12p - 4p. Come see why Chef kept this iconic sandwich alive!
