Deli Nerds absolutely nailed it for our office lunch. The catering was delivered right on time, set up perfectly, and everything was fresh and delicious. My team has not stopped talking about it and several people asked when we are ordering again. Huge thanks to Tina and her crew for making office lunches this easy and impressive. If you want catering or office lunches that truly impress, Deli Nerds is the way to go! read more

My husband picked up a couple of bacon breakfast burritos today and we were both so pleased! They're piping hot and the ingredients are perfectly portioned and mixed. No gigantic bites of just egg here - a supreme balance of all elements in every bit. The salsa was tasty as well. Husband said the folks working there were kind as well. We will certainly be back! read more

I live close by and have been meaning to try this place out. Super tasty and great quality! Very nice service too. We tried the burger sliders, the french dip sliders and the Greek salad. We will be back! read more

Ate here for the first time but not my last. Everything is so delicious can't be describe only needs to be tasted. Welcoming staff very clean and top notch. Great outside dining area just to chill and enjoy their wonderful food. Highly recommended and you won't be disappointed read more

First time here and I was blown away. Staff was super nice and helped us navigate the menu...can't wait to cone back and try EVERYTHING. The problem? The Mediterranean Bowl is gonna live in my head rent free and I'm probably only ever gonna get that again I did taste my bf's BBQ BOMB slider and it was SO tasty. Pretzel Bytes - i'm a fan but they could use a small fluff of coarse salt, imo. Such a cute outdoor patio area too. Very nice hang out spot. read more

I cannot believe this place exists. It's truly a hidden gem. There is nothing negative to say about it: Staff is friendly and cares about their food and customer experience. Huge variety of breakfast lunch and dinner items. Literally something for the whole family and all palates. Real, whole, fresh, organic ingredients that you can taste. Excellent, fair pricing. HAPPY HOUR 3-6. I cannot wait to eat my way through this entire menu!!! Mediterranean sliders were INSANE. Devoured them too quickly to photograph. read more

I'm excited to come back! I ordered the teriyaki bowl to go and it was okay. The ingredients weren't super flavorful but once I added the spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce it was better. I would totally order something different next time! I saw a couple outside sharing sliders and a salad and I will definitely do that next. Lots to choose from on the menu and the vibe is nice. The staff were SUPER friendly. I liked Great Mex Grill but I'm happy to have this spot as another local options for quick bites. read more

Saw this place on Instagram and it looked good. Grass fed beef etc... they have different sliders but the roll seemed stale and felt like it should have been warmed. The smash burger slider was okay and the beef dip was bland. They forgot the caramelized onions and were out of au jus broth but didn't tell us until after we got the sandwich so needless to say it was pretty dry! I guess I should have gone with a breakfast burrito. read more

The service is amazing. Super helpful and nice. All the sandwiches that I tried were yummy. Great little hidden gem.

Went on a Duffy boat ride with friends and we had an order of the smash burger sliders, heritage ham special sliders and the charcuterie board. It was all good. Highly recommend and will definitely be ordering again read more

Deli Nerds - New American Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I absolutely loved this place! It was my first time going with my cousin who lives out there and it was so fun! The owner is amazing and so kind and fun. She helped us and told us what she likes to get so I got it all! I have to say my favorite dish was the teriyaki wrap with salmon. This place is also icnoic for being a boxed lunch place as well. They have a meal prep menu where you can order meals for the whole week, such a nice addition read more

Just tried this place for the first time and it's amazing. A top tier breakfast burrito that I've ever had. Was also really cool to see every person in the shopping center parking lot promoting them and telling you to go there. Will for sure be back soon. read more

Deli Nerds - Chorizo breakfast burrito - New American Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Ordered for a lunch event at work. Everything was delicious! Some said their wrap or sliders were a bit dry.

This place is up. I must try. Will not let you down. The food is excellent. The staff is friendly. The prices are unbelievable.

We stumbled across this deli today - what a find! We had the Eggs in a Basket and the sliders, yummy!! Services was very nice, the food prep takes a bit, which we appreciated - you don't get that great tasting food when it's rushed or pre-mad. Loved the outdoor patio, too, we'll definitely be back. read more

Two Reuben sliders that were COLD, had stale buns & barely a single piece of meat on each for $10. For the price, I really expected that at least the cheese would be melted. The place looks hip & fun, but they've got some work to do. Quite disappointing. read more

The BBQ slider was delicious! I love the area outside where you can sit and enjoy the food and weather. Brenda helped us out today, she was extremely welcoming Definitely coming back! read more

Great service and food! We had the chorizo and sausage burritos. Both were delicious and healthy portion size. Highly recommended!

I went for breakfast and had their breakfast burrito and it was great! Everything was freshly made. Everything was cooked perfectly. The ingredients were high-quality. I especially like the flour tortilla. Deli Nerd is the type of place you put on your rotation because the food taste so good. It was clean and tidy and I look forward to sampling other items on their menu. read more

I've been wanting to try this deli since it opened. Especially since I heard it didn't use seed oils. When I asked why they were selling potato chips cooked in seed oils I was told that they were there from a previous manager and that they were just trying to sell through them. On a whole I'm not really sure how healthy their food is. There is no in door seating. They have an outdoor area in the parking lot covered with a tarp. It isn't a place to visit on a cold windy rainy evening like last night. The food wasn't what I expected. Im sorry I was really hoping for it to be so much better. read more

The first time I rolled by Deli Nerds was because that same spot housed nice little mexican place called Great Mex that I used to go to when I was in the area. I drove away disappointed. This past Sunday, I was in need of a breakfast burrito and remembered some influencers, saying, Deli Nerds had a great $5 breakfast burrito, so I rolled on by. Deli Nerds is a little neighborhood kind of spot which serves a variety of sandwiches and breakfast options. When I walked up to the door I came to the realization that the $5 breakfast burrito was only available from 8 to 9 AM on weekdays. Yes, for one hour daily during the work week. Oh crap. Well, they do have breakfast burritos, but it's a $10 deal now. I'll try one. The breakfast burritos come with your choice of protein so I chose bacon. I looked around for drink options which were inside a cooler. I saw no coffee and no soda fountain, however they did have both chilled and room temperature water in jugs so I went with that. They may have been busy or maybe they just use the we cook your order fresh excuse, but a simple egg bacon cheese and potato burrito took about ten minutes to prepare. I will say it was freshly cooked in the Tortilla was warm, but as far as breakfast burritos go it was fairly plain. The burrito came with some salsa that jazzed it up a bit but once again nothing special. read more

Wow I am blown away by the quality of the food here. First off aesthetically it's so cute, the staff is literally so sweet and nice. I only tried the avocado toast bc I needed a snack but it was an 11/10. I will be back tomorrow to try an actual meal but this place is very good quality and great customer service read more

The food is always amazing and i the new patio area they put up is a welcome addition. love the lamb kabob and the French dip sliders here. Recently had the breakfast burrito and the salsa was on point. read more

Great $5 (8am-9am) Breakfast Burrito & Bomb BBQ Sliders! Many more items that are coming soon at the time of this but from the two I have sampled they were tasty! read more

Was excited to try this new spot on my quick lunch break. It looked really cute, although it was empty. The menu looked like it had a nice variety with salads, sandwiches and wraps so I asked for a recommendation of their most popular wrap and got the teriyaki chicken wrap. It came to over $15 with no drink which is pretty average. I waited inside since it was cold and after over 10 minutes later I finally got my wrap. No mention of a longer wait expectation before I ordered which would have been nice. When I got the wrap, it was plain by itself and honestly tasted just average. I was shocked that that was a recommendation of their most popular one because it was not that special. At that point I was so hungry I would have eaten anything but I definitely did not love it and was bummed. I rarely go out to lunch to save money and when I do, I really wanna make it count and this was a bit disappointing. I would love this new local spot to do well, so hopefully this feedback can help. read more

The food is OK. It would be nice if they would allow to mix and match the sliders. I had 2 of the Kabob sliders and they were OK at best....not very filling. read more

their best item is the breakfast burrito and it's because it's $5. the sliders came out cold and they're way too expensive. their menu is misleading too, make sure to ask questions on why you're getting charged $23 for 3 small, cold sliders. we didn't even get the chips that are supposed to come with the "deal" but oh well, i hope they survive. read more

This was my $14 "wrap" with $8 added sirloin. Not only did I not get a wrap. The sirloin on this was absolute shoe leather and so well done it was a chore to chew. There was absolutely no one in the store when I went in and they still messed up my order. Won't be back. read more

Deli Nerds - "Wrap" - New American Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've never had a bad thing here. My husband and I stopped in after golfing to get some sliders and their couscous salad. They had special Christmas sliders that are SO good! Everything is fresh and they pride themselves on top ingredients. The new patio is perfect for anytime as well! read more

Very welcoming and helpful service from the staff, who asked if it was our first visit (it was) and explained the menu options. We had a tough time deciding from the many tasty options and ended up getting a couple of wraps, including one vegetarian, which were light yet filling and flavorful. The outdoor patio area was spacious with nice seating, and the bathroom was large and very clean. Prices were very fair, and we will be back when in the area again. Maybe we'll try some of the tempting slider options on the next visit. Thanks for a tasty lunch and excellent service. read more

I've eaten here a couple of times now. The sliders are so delicious and super filling! You can tell that the meat is really great quality and the sliders are built so perfectly they never fall apart either, no matter how stuffed they are. I've had some of their bowls and wraps too and everything tastes so clean and refreshing no matter what you get. The cashiers are so kind and super knowledgeable about the menu. They help me decide on what to get when I'm having trouble picking lol. I love enjoying my food on their beautiful patio and then hoarding those containers they package my food in. Lmao it's a win-win-win! Definitely recommend P.S. I forgot to take pictures because I'm usually too hungry to remember to take some. read more

Delicious! Highly recommend the French dip sliders. The customer service was great. They gave us the run down on menu options and suggestions for our first time. The flavors were fresh, and tasty. Looking forward to making my way back soon. read more

Love this little hidden gem! Great food and the people are very friendly! Always Fresh

Amazing! Tastes very good! The artichoke dip is also incredible! No seed oils which is also amazing!

Had the smash sliders and french dip sliders. Both were fantastic. Very friendly lady inside welcomed us in (I believe the owner). Would love to come back. Great little parking lot patio for seating. read more

Really good breakfast burritos! Nice outdoor patio with music playing too! Always happy to support a locally owned place!

Delicious and amazing healthy food options! Can't wait to come back and try other menu items!

Seems like a good place to eat plus it's owned by women so that's pretty cool I like the concept way to order online and on the phone helpful read more
