Oh how barren the wasteland of Kearny Mesa is for food. Having pho, bento boxes, and dim sum every day of the week can appeal to some, and trust me I love my asian foods, but not every day. Sooooo, you are left searching the Yelp! map for a decent sandwich or "other" food.
CJ's deli comes to the rescue! Located inside of Rady Children's Hospital foundation building (not to be confused with the actual hospital) you can get a really good sandwich (I recommend the tuna-melt and ask to add some tomatoes, onions and jalepenos!), salad, wrap, or a special which are always pretty decent. Despight the presumptious name, the "Super-Delicious" is actually just that.
Keep in mind this is just a deli, not really a sit down place (although they have a few small tables in the back next to the boxes). Great prices too!
So, if you find yourself wandering the barren streets for non-asian food in this neighborhood and need a quick sandwich/salad to go - find CJ's. read more
