re: Culocho
Yea, I might have to try the turkey next. Went to Breadline yesterday, and Im going to have to say it is worthy of the hype. It was very busy, but they had a very efficient sandwhich assembly line going on so I was in and out in under 10 minutes. I got the italian sausage sandwich and an order of fries; it was too much food to finish. The sandwich was acceptional, but kind of messy and fell apart a bit while eating it back at the office. Id have to recomend a tidier sandwhich if your getting food to go, but since that was my first time there, I have no alternate suggestions. The pitas there looked delicious though. The fries were okay. They were boardwalkesque, and im not really a big fan of those type of fries (i.e, soggy- i like em crisp)... but to each his own. If anyone else has suggestions for lunch in this area, Id love to hear them. Thanks a lot

By the Borders book store on L Street, between 18th and 19th, there is an ATM and a door that leads into an office building. There is a place there called "Best Sandwich Shop" and they make great sandwiches and pitas. Try it out and good luck!

I agree with the suggestions of Perfect Pita and Potbelly.
I frequent a place on I St and 17th or Connecticut (it's at that weird area where the street names change) called Park Place. They have a buffet and a grill in the back area where they make good hot and cold sandwiches. They have one called the Key West that reminds me of my home in Florida... and it comes in a pita. Their sandwiches run in the $5 range.

Other options--
The Perfect Pita on the east side of 20th St. between K & L makes good pita sandwiches. My fave (and others' too, judging from the number of orders I hear) is the chicken hummus veggie.
They don't have sandwiches exactly, but the Well-Dressed Burrito (in an alley off the west side of 19th St., north of M) makes great Mexican-American food. Big portions, very reasonable prices. Blows Chipotle away.
It's a bit of a hike, but worth it: Moby Dick on N St. between Connecticut & 19th. Wonderful grilled sandwiches on flatbread.
Couscous Cafe, on 20th between L & M, has a few sandwiches. I like the merguez sausage sandwich with harissa.

There's a Potbelly at 15th and L (I think). Another over at the corner of 19th and L. Decent sandwiches on the cheap, nothing spectacular tho. Around $4.
Greek Deli on 19th does good gyros and souvlaki, but their slow-roasted lamb dishes are famed in song and story. Do a search for the raves.
There's Breadline on Penn of course, but you'll get some wildly varying views on that. And you can easily go over $10.
