Marcona

If you find yourself in the Melrose area with a serious hankering for some spiced pork shoulder (as happens sometimes), you'd do well to stop in at this retro-inspired sandwich shop, whose menu centers around twelve signature creations like the Lomo (pulled pork with melted Manchego cheese, arugula) and the VBQ (vegan meatloaf, caramelized onions, arugula), as well as a few tasty sides like mac 'n cheese and eggplant caponata.
