Yep, we love sandwiches at Serious Eats, and L.A.'s got some heavy hitters—Langer's #19; Bay Cities' Godmother; the tongue from Attari. But even as they fill your belly, many of these big name sandwiches have the opposite effect on your wallet. Not to worry: there among the pricier specimens is a bounty of beauties that can be yours for just a few bucks. So, as we did with New York, we offer a sampling of our favorite sensational L.A. sandwiches for six bucks and under. From cemitas in Van Nuys to tuna salad in Larchmont, we've got you covered in the slideshow above.
