    Fresh ingredients on an amazing roll.  Great deli sandwich.

    Nice place tucked away. Good prices with fresh ingredients and rolls. The service was quick and efficient and very nice staff.

    Like many, I've passed this place a million times! Today, on my way home I decided to stop in and see if I could get a quick breakfast sandwich that sider break the bank. The answer was yes. Love a family owned and operated business story! They have been in the same location for 25 years!! The owner has a long-standing love for what she does. It is a perfect "no frills" location in that it's a true deli style set up - get in, get your food and move on. They provide catering and delivery making them ideally suited for the business warehouse like location they are nestled in. I had a veggie breakfast croissant and was very pleasantly surprised by how well filled it was! Definitely felt I had a good ny of eggs and other ingredients, no skimping. The croissant was toasted with a hint of crispness and slightly burned. I was a bit surprised overall that the sandwich wasn't warm like something freshly cooked might be. But it was good and definitely satsfying. Would like to check out their main menu next. It's also very sweet that I think everyone calls you honey, makes you feel welcomed! It's easily missed if you drive too fast so slow down to check it out!

    #1 was so fresh. Will be back when in town

    Chicken Diablo sandwich  El Diablo

    I ate there on 2-10, I had the Diablo sandwich suggested by the owner and it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this deli to anyone who wants tasty sandwiches. I promise it doesn't disappoint. I'm definitely going back to try more of their delicious sandwiches.

    Super delicious sandwich! The cookies as well were super good the service was very kind and welcoming everyone in there was very nice and deserving of a 5 star review! Will definitely be one of my new go to places!!!

    San Diego Native. Perfectly wrapped and taste great!!
    Marco D.

    First of all, the customer service is amazing. The stores presentation is clean and inviting. As for the food, read below. Turkey Pesto wrap. - Perfectly wrapped with lettuce. My first time seeing it look this amazing. Tuna Supreme - Wife loves it. Delicious to the core. San Diego Native - Classic taste to it. Hits home made!! Filling! I rate this place 5/5! Shout out to the chef/mama. She made the food with love. She also understands what I was going through with my gluten issue. She took her time, cleaned everything and cared hardcore. I really appreciate that. Hard for that to come by nowadays. Glad she could relate. Definitely will come back again!! Thank you!

    Spinach Chicken Wrap

    These guys have been a reliable place to get a very good sandwich for some time now. I did not know…read morethat they had one available in East County too, however. I ordered the Sky Park Sandwich on Wheat. It comes with EverRoast Boar's Head sliced chicken breast, Pepper Jack Cheese, and bacon. You can add more ingredients if you like off a list. I added red onions, tomatoes, and lettuce with oil and vinegar for $13.49 plus tax. You can choose from a little side of macaroni or potato salad. The sandwich was very good, but they did add alfalfa sprouts in the sandwich. There must have been a miscommunication when I said now way to the sprouts. I picked out the most I could. The deli chicken was very tasty and so was the Pepper Jack Cheese. I liked the wheat bread but it was a little on the dry side. I expected it to be a little moister, but it did tasty good. Overall, the sand was good. The service was good, too. The young man did a good job explaining the process and did a good job putting the sandwich together with the exception of the sprouts. The older gent, who I learned was his grandfather, was very friendly. The deli is inside a liquor store. They offer three tables out in front with chairs.

    Repeat your order. They can't seem to get your order right…read more The food is always good. Prices may seem high but you get a ton of meat. If they could do a better job at getting the orders right it would be 5 stars. I will admit everytime I go I am ordering 3+ sandwiches at a time

It was a phenomenal sandwich! I mean, easily one of the best I've ever had. The #12: Capocollo & Provolone Sandwich on Marble Rye. I asked for mayo and mustard only. The capocollo was sliced wafer thin and piled high. The provolone was thick sliced. Both were of excellent quality. The capocollo was like butter, it just melted in my mouth. It was peppery and had a superb rich flavor. The provolone complimented it extremely well. And that marble rye! Wow. Soo good. Excellent sando. Antonelli's, get some!

I had to try the the #1 as it's the house special and a true hero/sub.... whatever you call it where you're from. I decided on the 8" since I wasn't "hungry enough" for a footlong. Well, it turns out I wasn't hungry enough for an 8" either. These things are huge! The bread is as fresh as it gets, spongy with just enough pull. Stays together without getting soggy and turning into a mess. The meats and cheeses are fresh as well and it's just an all around great sandwich. The interior is simple with a few tables and a big enough area to wait for your freshly made food. Be patient, they get busy and for good reason. It's not fast food, but it's good food! I'll come back when I'm in town. It's definitely worth a stop.

Gelato: believe it was a coffee one Everything has been freaking delicious, fresh, great portions, definitely a spot I visit once a week lol. The crazy calabrese was a little on the salty side but it was still pretty good. Best sandwich so far has been the spicy sicilian. The market is well sorted with lots of interesting items and fair prices. The only thing is their tall cans of craft beer. A lot of them were old or had no date on the bottom of the can and as someone who works in the beer industry let me tell you. Beer does go bad. Not in a you can't drink it kind of way but flavor declines, especially craft beer. Skunky, taste changes, aroma changes, color changes, it's just not great. I picked up a can that was dated May 2025, for craft that is OLD and not good. Not a problem for your average person but I'm just letting y'all know. Nonetheless this place is delicious, the service is great, fast, friendly. The food is overall good, the market is nice and well sorted. What I don't understand are the comments that say I been here so many times but never left a good review, suddenly they have one bad experience over something like not enough lettuce or they ran out of something and leave a bad review. GTFOH! And no I wasn't paid for this review or know anyone from this business, I just hate what yell has become

It's a walk-up, order and pay first kind of place, then you grab a seat, which was super easy and casual. The person taking my order was incredibly nice and patient while I figured everything out. Honestly, all the food I saw coming out looked amazing, which made it even harder to choose. They have plenty of seating both inside and outside, including a really nice covered patio, which I loved. The service really stood out to me. Even though you order up front, the servers were very attentive and came by multiple times to check on us and offer drink refills, which you don't always get in this type of setup. I ordered the steak plate with mushrooms and mashed potatoes, and everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The mushrooms were especially good. The only small thing was I wish the food had been a little hotter when it came out, but the taste definitely made up for it. My only other note is I wish they had unflavored iced tea. All the options were flavored, and since I'm not a soda drinker, that would've been nice to have. Overall, such a great first visit. Great food, great service, and a really comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

I opted for the steak plate with sweet potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts. The flavors were delicious and so was the piece of bread, but unfortunately, I had issues... I was asked for the temperature of the steak - mid rare. That wasn't what I received. My first bite was, at best, was medium and leaning towards mid well. By the time i took my third bite, the temperature rose and was now well-done. It was also very chewy. It doesn't seem like the steak wasn't well-rested and/or overcooked. Also, there were huge pieces of stalk still attached to the sprouts. I'm all for fresh produce, but they should've been cleaned better. We're still deciding on whether to go back and have something we remember enjoying.
