Inside 43215: Downtown Dish
SWEET POTATO MAYO
Be careful what you ask for. Remember the surveys last autumn? The questionnaire told us that Downtown Columbus is filled with incredibly hungry people. There were urgent requests and suggestions and DEMANDS for more things to eat in the city’s core. More food: more-more-MORE.
Done.
The cavalry has arrived, and it’s armed with sweet potato mayonnaise.
Consider Guillermo Perez the first wave of relief for the insatiable masses. He just opened Si Senor Latin Cafe for business weekdays at 6 E. Long Street.
Patrons of the Pearl Market already know Si Senor’s fare quite well. The business was born as a lunch vendor in the summer marketplace. Although it’s now a full-fledged café (with tables and chairs), you’ll still find the old favorites on the menu . . . plus some new must-have winners.
Perez says, “The roasted pork sandwich is very popular… and so is the roasted turkey.” Then he adds Si Senor’s roast beef to the list too. It’s impossible to name just one great thing on the menu. It’s filled with treats: those meats are roasted in-house; the sandwiches feature an exclusive sweet potato mayo; and there’s an avocado salad that’s been earning Internet raves.
You won’t find this fare anyplace else but at Si Senor. And you won’t find Si Senor anyplace else but Downtown Columbus.
The new wave of eateries has just begun. Yes indeed. Si Senor!

Had a great sandwich at Si Senors today. The chipotle chicken was huge and very satisfying. Only had to wait a few minutes for my takeout order. I’ll definitely be back. Welcome to downtown! Glad to see another downtown business spawning from the Pearl Market.
