Banh Mí Ba Le Restaurant Dorchester

The word on the street is that Banh Mí Ba Le Restaurant in Dorchester makes the best Banh Mí in the area and today I decided to pay them a visit even if it's a bit of a hike and they are takeout only and, of course, cash only.

I ordered one BBQ pork and one BBQ beef both extra spicy. This was the first one filled with BBQ pork, pickled daikon and carrots and cilantro stems. There is a thin layer of mayo on the top and bottom and the pork is also drizzled with their secret sauce. The bread is very fresh and the veggies are crunchy but the pork was a bit chevy. The taste was very balanced and with a nice crunch from the pickled veggies. It also was spicy, no idea from what since I didn't see any chilies in there.

This was the second one and it doesn't look like BBQ anything but contained sliced meats and the same fillings as the other one. There was a thick slice of ham in there that was delicious, in fact, the whole thing was delicious and I thought this one was better than the BBQ one. This one was spicy also and you can see some sliced chilies in there. They were $3.50 each plus tax and the total come to $7, you go figure!
