Mexican Sandwich Co.
I had lunch at a good new Park Slope restaurant yesterday. It's a great find considering this neighborhood has only a handful of good places to begin with. The place is called the Mexican Sandwich Company, though the sandwich is actually a triple-decker quesadilla that comes stuffed with fillings such as spicy chicken, goat cheese, smoked bacon, caramelized onions, guacamole and duck confit. Prices range from $5 to $9 for a small -- which is plenty enough for a meal since it comes with a salad topped with a red pepper dressing. No booze yet, but they're already advertising their drink specials, including a blood-orange margarita you can order by the pitcher. They're on 5th Avenue at 3rd Street -- but the delivery area stretches all the way up to Prospect Park West. They just opened a month ago.

I found the place after I read a few reviews on Chowhounds, which I only recently rediscovered after following a link from fellow-former Prognosticator Alex Zucker.
