The bread was really good and soft. I think that the bread is the highlight of the sandwich. I had a meatball sub, and it was pretty good. The inside of the place looked really clean, which is definitely a plus. They have a really large menu and many options. I should have tried a cold-cut sandwich, but warm sounded good with it being cold outside. Business was steady, so it must be a favorite for the area. The employees were kind, and they also have a large parking lot.

DH and the sign
Victoria B.

It's December 23rd and I assumed that all the local businesses would pack up for the season. We in fact tried several places beforehand (closed), but were out of luck. DH found Brown Bag and a full parking lot at three in the afternoon told us all we needed to know. After wrangling parking, we joined the fray. I truly envied the woman leaving with four (4) five-foot sandwiches tucked under her arm. The counter service was so fast and efficient as to be breath-taking. As in you need to have your order ready to place similar to Katz's in NYC. My chicken club was delish and the warmth of the chilies stayed with me for a while. So will the memory of this great lunch.

Came here for a quick lunch and I got a turkey and ham sandwich with coleslaw on it. It was okay, but the bread started to get soggy pretty quickly. The price was reasonable at least. There was a bit of a line and the service was a little slow.

Roast beef sub

Decent sandwich and sub shop when compared to others across the country. For Alamogordo it is possibly your only place for a normal deli sandwich and sub given the extremely limited options in this area. Place was clean, bread was fresh and all meats cheeses for both of my sandwiches were good. I got a Reuben to eat there and a roast beef sub to go. Price wasn't too bad and the staff was super nice.

For what it was, I loved it great little place to get a sandwich and byNew York standards. We love our sandwiches in our delis. It was good. They even had a salad. I completely finished had refills on your soft drinks and plenty of parking

Stopppppppppppp! I want more! I went twice in less than 24 hours if that is any indication of my enthusiasm of Brown Bag Deli. They make it look easy but if it actually was more places would have a functional, delicious deli and they don't. Both my sandwiches the #31 and #27 the next day were served hot on request, fat, stacked, melty, and delicious! Service was efficient, kind and prompt both days I visited. To put the cherries on top of an already perfect cake they have a self serve banana pepper and pickle bar to add any extras to your sandwiches or just to munch while you wait. BBD has a tender retro-y interior and decor and live, happy, plants. When I see happy plants in a restaurant it is a sign for me that they also pay attention to their food. I will be back every time I visit Alamogordo for the rest of my life. Bless you Brown Bag Deli

This place is OK. Frankly, so are most sandwich shops. I did not see a huge difference between Brown Bag's offerings and Subway: except they had potato salad and slaw, which were generic, and available across the street at Albertsons What I expected? A New York style sandwich: huge and overflowing with "Ultimate " ingredients. What I got: average size, average sliced chicken, melted cheese and chili pepper. No music.

Pastrami with Swiss cheese
Conal B.

The brown bag deli is like a store deli, but it's a restaurant. The ordering process is very quick and efficient. They have a large variety of meat to choose from. My hot pastrami sandwich came with a toasted roll and it was delicious!

When I was growing up, there were Pizza Mill Sub Factory restaurants in multiple towns across…read moresoutheastern New Mexico. Unfortunately, the only Pizza Mills that I know of that are still open are the restaurants in Hobbs and Alamogordo. Anytime I'm in those towns, Pizza Mill my top choice of places to get a deli sandwich. My favorite since the 1980s is the #16 (Italian). I also introduced my 20-something niece to Pizza Mill. It was her first experience with a "local hole in the wall" restaurant. She was amazed at how good her sandwich was, and it revealed to her that if you see a restaurant that's kind of "plain Jane" looking, but has a bunch of customers, there's a good chance. the food is great. She tells me she misses Pizza Mill's sandwiches, despite living in San Diego, California where there's lots more choices than there are in Alamogordo or Hobbs. I think that is a pretty great endorsement for our little regional Pizza Mill and Sub Factory restaurants!

This rating is for The Arcade Dungeon located next door to the Pizza Mill & Sub Factory…read more My family and I visited this arcade for the first time this evening. After we ate our yummy food order, we decided to play some games before heading home. It's summertime, why not? Well, as my husband and son enter, they are approached by the co-manager of the arcade to ask for quarters to play. He states that the games are to be handled with care. They are not to be "banged on." Ok. Noted. As I walk in with my 6 year old son, we begin playing TNMT, and I notice he is standing behind me, but he doesn't say anything, he just monitors us as we are the only two customers in the arcade. As we move to the pinball machines, we played one or two before we are approached at the Jurassic World machine. Our son was playing on that one while I finished up with one next to him. The level of excitement is drained from all of us as he states to my son, "you cannot hit the buttons so hard, you will break them." We stated, this was his first time playing these machines. "You still can't beat the buttons that loudly, you will break my machine." Umm. It's a pinball machine, aren't we supposed to play with the buttons on the side of the machine? I'm pretty sure all of these machines make this noise when a customer is playing them?? Like what? We clearly were not playing on them that hard people. It is not like we were punching the buttons, the glass, or attempting to break the machines or even yelling; we were having fun, or so we thought. Also, as an owner, if you don't want your collection to be used by customers, why open an arcade if the customers are expected to softly play your games? Like I don't even know what he means by that? Softly is petting a kitten, I mean That's what I think of when I need to play softly? Plus, inside the restaurant it states " the money that is spent in the arcade goes right back to the arcade for maintenance for the games." If you don't want "kids or anyone touching your machines, you need to establish an "age limit," and encourage parents to be with their children. Have them sign a waiver so that you can make things even more complicated for your customers that just want to play some cool games. BTW. You gave a great collection, but maybe you should consider storing them in a man cave or a garage if you want them to stay in prestige condition. Also, I'm sure being glued to your phone was the main reason why you approached us, we clearly bothered you by coming in the door. The look you gave me when I asked for $5 in quarters. Cringe. Also, attempting to sell a pinball machine for 3500.00, and having a sorry attitude towards your everyday customers is NOT GOOD BUSINESS. But, best of luck to you dude. Our entire family is very disappointed on how this arcade is managed. We will never feel welcomed to this arcade again.

The selection of premade foods was a little lacking but they all but made up for it in their drink, bakery, and chocolate selections. This store reminded me of a miniature, hipper, Whole Foods. With friendly folks and a fun health food type spin on most of their products. They do have grab and go lunch/dinner options found near the deli which I appreciated. The kombucha selection was almost overwhelming ans I was excited to try so many different kinds! I'll be back the next time I'm in New Mexico for sure! Pro-tip: the chocolate section is near the cashiers toward the front. They have some amazing artisinal chocolates my personal favorite being the Cartel Chocolate made in ABQ. Don't pass it up!

I wasn't sure how big the meat section was going to be, it is small and quaint but quality meat. There was also a nice selection of teas and coffees with some being local choices. I also saw some local made soap and honey which I love. I love supporting local and small businesses. Even though I purchased nothing last night, I'll be back for another shopping trip. I think this place is probably more ideal for fresh foods for a meal that day rather than a big grocery shop.

Hey El Paso, did you know we have a new New York Deli in town? It's run by 2 Yemeni brothers and…read moreit's legit. We stopped by after our Sun City escape room adventure and I brought some friends who were from the Bronx and they said it was legit, including the sodas that were available. It's certainly nicer than most corner bodegas but just as fully stocked with everything from snacks to aspirin. The menu is mostly cold and hot sandwiches with some middle Eastern specialties like falafels and lamb gyros. I was really excited to see if they had shish tawouk but they don't. I guess I have to convince my friends to bring the Halel Brothers here next...ahem Paul T. The best thing though is that this place is open to 3:00 a.m. on the weekends! Definitely a must-hop if you're in the area and need necessities now that the CVS is closed and grab a delicious sandwich or snacks to go.

I first encountered this deli through the (now closed) far west location. The young man there was…read moreincredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing, and I made it a habit to go as often as possible. This location on Mills has the same sort of set up and menu. My order was made well and flavorful, but neither of the employees here were friendly. Rather than feeling welcome or valued as a customer (I was literally the only customer), I felt like I had interrupted their evening somehow. To be fair, this was my first visit to this location, but I'm not sure if I'll be back. There are other halal and Middle Eastern businesses in El Paso that actually demonstrate the kind of hospitality I've always associated with my Lebanese, Syrian, Eqyptian, Yemeni, and Saudi friends. The food was great... but $12.31 for a small sandwich (I tipped) where I felt unwelcome the whole time? It's not gonna be high on my list. I really wish the other location had survived, it was excellent AND had great customer service.
