    Turkey Pesto Sandwich
    A L.

    Hidden gem, it's inside Chevron. They were giving out free bread while I was there (I can't do more carbs than I already ordered, otherwise I'd grab it). I ordered at 11:45 and asked to have it ready by 12pm, and everything went smoothly. Sandwich was delicious and flavorful! Will be coming back, it's very close to work for me. :) only think I didn't like though was that the prices are a little higher than what's on the menu (I paid $12, menu says $9). Inflation :/

    Updated menu prices

    These are current deli sandwich prices, previous ones are 5+ years old TBA ITALIAN AND CUBAN ARE MOST POPULAR

    Reuben Melt Sandwich

    Wow wow wow wow wowwwwwww! If you are looking for a local sandwich place that knocks it out of the park AND is fairly priced...check out Deli Luv! It's conveniently right off the highway and located in a Chevron gas station. The deli has Boars head meat and offers a make your own option! I opted for the Reuben melt and it was SO good. I will definitely be returning here for my regular post gym lunch

    Yummy panini sandwich! Turkey on cheese roasted herb bread , bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, pepperoncinis, provolone. So good!!

    My first time eating sandwiches ever! I've heard about this deli shop inside of a Chevron gas station and car wash. Definitely a (hole in a wall) kind of place but try it out before you judge it's cover They have lots of options there; Hot, Cold Sandwiches, Bagels, even frozen yogurt around the other side for your sweet tooth after! My bf knew right away what he wanted so I just got the same as him since I'm a "newbie" here haha and we aren't picky/ like the same taste so I knew I'd be in good hands. ORDERED: Turkey sandwich on the herbed cheese bread (something like that), added bacon, mayo & honey mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, pepperonicinis, and you can't forget to request to have it pressed in the panini maker with the cheese melted! WOW I was so surprised at how big the portion of this sandwich was & most importantly HOW DELICIOUS IT IS, such simple but fresh ingredients and you can taste it!! The bread is to die for too! Love that they have the option to get it pressed into a panini because when you eat it later the bread is not soggy at all, still has all that crispy goodness you want! Counter ladies we're both very sweet they took our order 8-10 mins before they closed but I HAD NO IDEA they closed earlier at 3pm until AFTER we got our sandwiches bc they were doing all of their cleaning so I was curious and looked at the hours and it said 3pm!! It was currently 3 mins before they closed when we got back into the car with food. LONG STORY SHORT they were soft spoken, sweet for not even mentioning to us they close very soon, or rushing us to order! DELILUV's attitude showed that they truly care about customer service! Now they have a customer for life WILL BE BACK SOON

    First, this is in a gas station, which is just kind of weird. Secondly the sandwich was very basic and stale. I was pretty disappointed.

The portion is generous enough to share, and it's so much easier than dealing with the crowds, parking, long waits, or having to bus your own table like we seem to encounter at so many places around San Diego. For dinner, we often stop by the deli and seafood counter to pick up cooked shrimp and a few sides. We take everything back to our Airbnb, warm it up, and enjoy a relaxing dinner on the patio. It's become one of our favorite vacation traditions. The dessert case is incredible, and choosing just one treat is nearly impossible! I do miss the tuxedo custard mousse cake (or whatever it was called)--it was absolutely delicious. It's also a great place to grab lunch meats, fresh rolls, or bread for easy beach sandwiches. Best of all, the staff is consistently friendly and genuinely enjoys chatting with customers. I've had so many pleasant conversations with people at the seafood, meat, and deli counters over the years. Great food, great service, and always a stop we look forward to on every trip.

    I love surprises, especially good ones like El Nopalito. We're in Encinitas once a month or so, so…read morewe have tried a lot of places for lunch over the last twenty years. Luckily we were given the tip to try El Nopalito which is located just off the northbound Santa Fe Drive exit on the 5. You might want to look at google maps if you don't know the area which is in an older somewhat run down strip mall. Don't let that fool you though, appearances can be deceiving. Indise El Nopalito is clean and fairly large, probably seating around sixty. The kitchen can be viewed from where you order, which I like. We ordered nothing but tacos for starters to see what we liked, they have 21 types of tacos on the menu, so we chose Carnitas, Carne Asada, and El Pastor. Good choices all, freshly made, well seasoned, great toppings and big portions. The two of us were almost full just eating the three tacos. But no, we wanted more, so we ordered the Mole Oaxaca (Red Mole) which was excellent. A very complex taste with cinnamon and chile. Three tacos and the mole finished us. The service was friendly and prompt and I enjoyed sitting there because there was much to see. When we walked in it was a few minutes before noon. We were really surprised because there were about thirty high school students there mostly having sodas and tacos. Within ten minutes they all disappeared to go back to school. The restaurant was almost empty for a few minutes and then many Mexican Landscape Workers came for lunch. At one point there were over twenty people in line and the restaurant was full! This all in the space of fifteen minutes. They did not order tacos, but the daily specials, stews, soups, etc. They were friendly too and there was a great atmosphere. We were impressed by the taste of the food, the great selection, and all we saw. Ignore my other reviews for Mexican restaurants in the Encinitas/Leucadia area, this is our new favorite! We will try to be there about 11:40 again.
