I was HANGRY! So, I took a risk and wanted something different. Munchies popped up, and noticed their almost 5 star review ratings. Ordered the “El Guapo” which I highly recommend!! The bread, steak & cherry pepper mayo is ON POINT! I will be returning.

It was alright. I requested tomatoes, and none were there so didn't help my experience. Just had higher expectations, but this is a college town so always have to be aware.

I'm a big fan of Food Best Of Lists, which is kind of ironic, because I don't really believe you can reasonably call some food the best. There are far too many places to try, and even your one visit to a place, may be unreliable for a variety of reasons. So I tend to talk about my favorite places, or places that you need to try before you can declare a best at something. After trying Munchies for the first time this weekend, I can say that the Munchies' El Guapo steak and cheese sub, is one of my favorite sandwiches from the past few years, and that you need to visit Munchies, before you can declare a Best CT Place for Cheesesteaks. Munchies is a small sub shop on State Street in New Haven that has no inside eating. Their focus seems to be on steak (and steak substitutes) and cheese subs, and Southern Fried Chicken sub varieties, but they also have specials. In warm weather, you can sit outside at one of a few tables. Otherwise, you're getting takeout. The owner Drew was working the grill when I was there. He was a personable guy who obviously cares about creating great food and great food in general. Meeting Drew definitely added to the experience. The El Guapo has steak, cheese, Gouda dip, cherry pepper aioli, caramelized onions and chili Frito's. It was exceptional. A great mix of flavors and textures. The steak was high quality and well cooked. The sub roll was excellent. Plenty of steak and toppings. One of my fav steak and cheeses in CT, and one of my fav CT sandwiches in recent years. I plan to return to Munchies to explore more of the menu. Five Stars

Best sandwich in town. Small little place that has the best cheese steaks and unique sandwiches. I had the most amazing chicken cheese steak called el guapo. Delicious. Also did fried plantains. Dipping sauce was Devine. Everything is good.
Stopped here on way back to MA from NYC. 5 excellent sandwiches and the sweet plantains were absolutely delicious. We enjoyed everything while sitting outdoors at the picnic tables.We will definitely return. Great guy who appreciates his customers.

Probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The man who works there is super nice and lets you customize your sandwich! They're also great prices for how big the sandwich is.

So good for a late night eat! My kids love the sandwiches and you get lots of food for the price. Incredible fries, just plain indulgent and fun! Tiny shop with friendly service. Lots of great outdoor places to sit and eat once you get your food.
This is amazing!!!! The best sub so far!!!
