If you know, you know. The Beyer Deli is truly one of a kind. It's a bit hidden and only open during the week, but it's absolutely worth finding. The service is amazing -- friendly staff and owners who welcome you right when you walk in. It's small and cozy with indoor and outdoor seating. Cash only, so come prepared. I got the Italian sub toasted and whew... chef's kiss. Meaty, flavorful, and seriously satisfying.

I had heard nothing but great things and needed to try it for myself! I arrived at 2:15 and they were definitely slowing down and getting ready to close for the day as it looked to be cleaned up on the inside. They have some tables and chairs for those eating there but I opted for to go. My partner got the California club and I got the raging Bull. I really enjoyed mine and liked the kick from the jalapeños and green Chiles, definitely more on the basic deli sandwich side but very good The chicken club was also good and it came with a full chicken breast, we both like a little more razzle dazzle with our sandwhiches but for the original deli vibe this did hit the spot! Seems like a family owned place which I love supporting and would definitely come back to try their sides or salads if I have the opportunity!

Michael & Dina are the best! The whole deli staff is great! Friendly, great food, and an absolute gem of a sandwich shop. The pastrami sandwich was fantastically and the Italian Sub was equally great. The deli is 20 miles from our home but well worth the trip. We wish them the best of luck. Sincerely, Carl & Debbie's

Cash only. This is usually a good indicator that the food will be something memorable. However, I was surprised to discover that it really is the power of one person who can make a business shine. I was greeted warmly and guided thoughtfully as a first-time customer. The Reuben is a must and the California (triple-stacked) is delightful. Not having enough cash, the kind lady behind the counter told me to pay the $8 additional when I was able to. I went to the nearest ATM while sandwiches were carefully crafted. On my return, a gentleman in front of me had also returned to pay off his "small debt" from a previous visit and same cash situation. Seems as though this occasionally happens and the business extends kindness and trust to every customer. Go for some sandwiches that you could not really make at home. Delicious! Return for the feeling of stepping into a warm and welcoming home where they remember your name. Recommended!!!

Beyer Deli has developed a reputation as one of the best delicatessens in SD County. In 2023, this business was ranked #4 on Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in the US. With such a high distinction, I made a trip last month to Otay Mesa for a visit. The suite was located in the Three Flags Business Park. It didn't really stand out in the plaza as there was some signage and a few outside tables with canopies for seating. The inside could hold a couple of dozen customers. I had expected a larger operation, but this place was definitely a mom-and-pop shop. I counted 25 different deli sandwiches on the menu board. You could order some of them as a 1/2 sandwich for as cheap as $5.95. The most expensive ones were the triple deckers that cost a reasonable $14.95 each. Grilled cheese, quesadillas, submarines, soups, and salads were the other lunch fare categories. A separate list of breakfast foods and beverages was served between 8 and 10 am. I chose two items for my to-go order. The first was a 1/2 Roast Beef Deli Sandwich. Provolone and wheat were my cheese and bread selections respectively. The meat used was from Boar's Head which was pretty standard. This sandwich was decent for the price. The second was a New Yorker Specialty Sandwich. The ingredients were grilled pastrami and corned beef topped with Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and mustard on a torta. This item was packed with flavor from the grilled meats. It was well worth the $12.95 tag. A dill pickle spear came with each sandwich. It took about 15 minutes for the kitchen to prepare my order. The service was friendly, and the dining room was kept clean. I enjoyed my experience at Beyer Deli, however I didn't think it quite stacked up to a number four place to eat in the US.

Absolutely phenomenal Human Warmth and 5-Star Service. This Family knows how to run the best deli ever!

BBQ Beef Sandwich
Sean C.

This place is extra amazing. Their prices are legit. This place is cheaper and five million times better than Chubway. The sandwiches are huge, full of whatever toppings you desire. Everyone working here is super nice and they'll accommodate most reasonable requests you can come up with. My wife and I tend to show up here before taking our doggies to Silverwing Park. She really enjoys the tuna on wheat with sprouts. I've tried the BBQ beef, New Yorker, and I SWEAR they made me a toasted PB & J once but I may be incorrect. Either way, like I said they're accommodating as heck here. Their sandos are off the hook. It is cash only so be prepared!

Diana C.

Truly a hidden gem! Just a reminder it's a cash only establishment but it's so worth it. If you are ever craving a saucy full of flavor cold cut, this is your place. Heavy on they support their troops and you can either eat inside or in the patio out front. Plenty of parking available as well. The service is top tier and the staff is very friendly, they make you feel like family.

Amazing food n the service was exceptional!!!  Owner was the sweetest!!!

Amazing food n great service! The owner was the sweetest! Will definitely be back!!! Thank you so much!!!!

New Yorker

My wife and I have been to Beyer Deli twice, and it has never disappointed. The woman at the front is always incredibly sweet and helpful. The deli is clean and has a cool law-enforcement theme. We ordered the New Yorker and the Hot and Delicious, and both sandwiches were amazing. They were generously stuffed--we honestly could have shared just one. The bread was fresh and loaded with meat. Highly recommend this deli. You will not be disappointed!

The most sweetest and humble family owned restaurant. If you're in the area you won't be disappointed. Met the owners they are such lovely people. Great food and great price!

The food was delicious my friend isn't much of a tamal person so I enjoyed that on my own I loved the lime garlic sauce that came with it so much I was putting it on my half of the delicious sandwich. The sandwich was crispy on the outside everything you expect from a Cuban sandwich and came with a lovely cilantro aioli. The women asked if it was our first time and then gifted us dessert a delicious flakey guava pastry. They have a larger catering menu as well we saw someone picking up a tray to go. Definitely will be back when I'm on a Mochi run when I'm San Diego.

Lets talk about the vibes first...amazing decor and vibes, decor and walls and atmosphere is very cool and unique I truly love it so much. The staff is very nice, offering suggestions on drinks with big smiles and welcoming energy. Now the drinks and food: the drink I got last time was an iced mocha (no picture but I remember it was very good). This time I went with my mom and we both got the "Moon" drink.. a Chai/Matcha which was such a good drink, I want like a 40oz of it to take with me home for the week. I also ordered the pesto turkey sandwhich to share and I can not express how good this was. Perfectly crispy, juicy and fresh. Took the first bite and literally gasped because not only was the bread toasted to perfection but the veggies and turkey were so flavorful. The veggies and pesto and turkey were also layered in a way that made every bite delectable and that to me is art. Loved it, want more of it and I WILL be back to try more drinks and sandwhiches.

Eeeeek! Omg I love this place and you will too after reading my review…read more I've recently found this place from a studio I go to nearby. It's third ave I mean if you are from San Diego you know it's either neighborhood parking or the meters. Not a big deal though. I am greeted by Karely and her big smile, one of the baristas. It is tiny location but long, they have two gender neutral bathrooms at the end. A few tables to sit down inside and out. A cute bench with the view of third ave traffic. Interior decor is super cute I loved, one of my favs was this board they have which is a basically you pay a coffee forward and you put the sticky there for the next person to get their drink. I totally don't work there so I would just reconfirm what can be redeemed. Drink: I get an iced dirty chai WITH banana cold foam. 10/10 must try. They also offer matcha for you matcha lovers. Grind house has found a new customer and yes, I've already brought so many friends here. My only suggestion would be to maybe have a phone charging station, that's all! :)

I'll definitely give this place another shot. Gotta support our local coffee shops!

The staff was genuinely friendly, and we were able to find a seat inside without too much trouble. We expected a bit of a wait given how busy it was, but the timing ended up being a bit off. Our food arrived first--we had the avocado toast and the mini green chilaquiles. Both dishes were delicious, though the chilaquiles verdes leaned a little heavy on the garlic. (Seriously--hours later, even after brushing, lunch, and multiple rounds of mouthwash, that garlic flavor was still going strong.) We took our time eating, hoping the drinks would arrive, but they didn't come out until much later. We ordered a cappuccino and an iced churro latte. The cappuccino finally came out right as we finished eating--it tasted good, just a bit lukewarm. About five minutes later, the iced churro latte was ready, so we ended up taking it to go. That one was actually really good. Overall, the food and drinks were solid, and the staff made a great impression. I'd definitely like to come back and give it another shot. I love supporting small, locally owned businesses, and with a little adjustment to the flow--like pausing mobile orders during peak times or dedicating a team specifically to them--this place could really elevate the experience.

My…read moresister was dropping me off and briefly pulled into a spot for this deli to let me out because it didn't appear that there was a way out of the parking lot in the back. I literally told my sister "oooh a deli, I want a torta after" and then I headed into Bellus. As I was walking in the owner of this deli confronted me telling me not to park there and I let him know I had just been dropped off and wouldn't be taking up any of his parking and he continued "the car, the car" so persistently I had to just about yell at him that she left and we weren't parked there. Mind you his establishment was completely empty at the time. Not that it would be an excuse if we did park there( which I would never do). Throughout my entire appointment I was thinking about how crazy he came at me and when I decided to mention it to the esthetician student doing my facial she mentioned she had ordered some tostilocos from him the day prior that came with apple on them (unusual) and that the cueritos on them were mushy and when she asked for her money back on them he had an attitude about it, which I believe given what I saw from him today. On my way out I stopped to let him know that I was a potential customer and he totally deterred me from patronizing his business. Oh and shocker: his place was still empty when I told him this and it was lunchtime. Interesting.

Very delicious pesto chicken torta. They have smoothies, fruit bowls, salsas, sandwiches (bread or…read moretortas). They have some chips and candy bars as well. Nice man that works here. Very accommodating. Call and order ahead. The parking lot is a bit congested as it shares the lot with the beauty school.
