Many people know Luis’ Butcher Shop for its handmade sausages and signature cuts of beef.

There's also its Taco Thursdays, where they serve up $1 tacos with your choice of meat.

But what you may not know is that Luis’ Butcher Shop is also responsible for what could easily be considered the best sandwich in Downey.

Meet the 18-Hour Smoked Brisket Sandwich. 

In fact, take a good hard look at it. 

"Our smoked brisket is pretty awesome," says Moises Rios, the butcher shop's owner. "We use our in-house chipotle rub, smoked on hickory wood...served on a French Baguette with melted cheese, avocado and any salsa of your liking." 

With its slight spice kick, melty cheese and homemade guacamole, the 18-hour smoked brisket sandwich is one of the most popular items on the menu, and honestly, it's not hard to figure out why. 

Luis’ Butcher Shop is located at 9071 Imperial Hwy.
