Meatball
Rob J.

Hugo's Deli in Torrance is a hidden gem tucked away in a dark corner of a minimall. I have seen this place in passing for years and wondered if it was a real deli. It is real, unpretentious, and fabulous. The hot pastrami is excellent, packed with flavor and served fresh. Service is fast, making it a perfect spot for a quick lunch. Hugo and Rosa are super friendly. The sandwiches are as good as from Torrance Bakery, but Hugo's is more laid back. They have cool sports collectibles along the back wall. This includes hard to find LA Kings bobbleheads of Jack Johnson and Jason Allison. They have Dodger and Laker stuff too.

New Italian  Turkey

Wife and I were seeking a different place to get a good sandwich. We came across Hugo's Deli on Yelp and decided this is the Place to go.The prices are reasonable considering Boars Head Meats are used. The Mrs ordered Turkey and Avocado Sandwich on Squaw Bread and the New Italian for me. The sandwich's can be customized with your choice of condiments as well as bread(the Squaw is a must) The owner Hugo politely greats you when you arrive and takes your order asking how you'd like your sandwich. There's adequate.seething, so we ate here . The place is cozy with a mellow selection of 70's music playing to make you feel comfortable while enjoying your lunch. I highly recommend everyone give Hugo's a try

Today, I got a meatball sandwich and a potato salad Good soft roll. The meatballs reminded me more of a crumbled style, which I also like. The cheese was gooey. If I had to guess, I believe they use mustard and dill in their potato salad. Service was very friendly and prompt.

A hidden spot, fantastic food! Service was great. It was only one person running the place very nice guy & fast when making the food. The sandwiches felt like they were made with love !! It is a smaller shop, very clean & well kept. Definitely worth a try !

Fantastic menu, hearty and delicious sandwiches, and impeccable, family-like service from the one and only Hugo!! This is a Torrance must and an absolute hidden gem. High quality ingredients as well!! Don't skip this place, I can't wait to eat my way through the entire menu.

The New Italian
Mai V.

I wouldn't have known about Hugo's Deli if it wasn't for Yelp. It's a convenient location with lots of parking in the plaza. The whole plaza is a little run down but this place in a diamond in the rough. It's a small little mom-and-pop sandwich shop in a plaza on the corner of Madrona and Torrance. I ordered the New Italian to-go. The guy there (might have been Hugo?) was so very friendly and accommodating, he made my sandwich custom to my preferences. The New Italian, which also looked like their signature sandwich, as it was highlighted on their menu and at the counter, was amazing. Probably one of the best sandwiches I've had in the South Bay. Will definitely be back!

My hot corned beef sandwich. It was good but not a4+ on the Yelp scale
Steve O.

I'm not sure why people love this place so much. It's good but I've never found anything close to mind blowing here that deserves a 4+ rating. I've been here twice and have found the sandwiches to be of average size, reasonably priced, and of good (not great, not amazing) quality. There was absolutely nothing spectacular about their pastrami or corned beef. Sorry if you didn't agree but when you've got the NY Deli nearby and Caps and Corks up the street, this just isn't a MUST try in my book. The owner is very friendly and they prepare your order efficiently but other than that, it's just another sandwich place in my book. Sorry.

Turkey Havarti Pesto Panini
Anthony V.

Hidden gem of a deli. Classic boar's head freshly sliced to order. Hugo (cook) is super friendly, clearly happy and loves what he does - and it shows in the care of making the perfect combination of pesto, meat, bread and veggies.

It's a classic sit down place with multiple tables and bench seats which gives the place a very…read morebeach sandwich shop vibe. Exactly as advertised on Google Maps I ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sandwhich and a Diet Coke. They give the soda in the can so I recommend asking for a cup with ice. The food arrived pretty quickly and it looked stunning. The bread was toasted and had a nice brown color. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the crust was not flaky or falling off. The tomato sauce was served in a cup to the side. Which I really loved. The cheese was melted and mixed with the chicken so you tasted the sauce, chicken and cheese with every bite. I would come here again. P.S. I am always wary of getting chicken Parmesan sandwhiches because of the sogginess. Sauce on the side allows you to add it as you need, preventing the sandwhich from becoming soggy.

We chose to eat at this sandwich place before heading to the beach, ordered two chicken salad…read moresandwiches, one lemonade and a chocolate chip cookie. I sadly never got my lemonade as they didn't give it to me and by the time we got our order I completely forgot about it. The chocolate chip was good it is topped with sea salt. The sandwiches though were not as good as I thought they were going to be. We did add in provolone cheese, but I didn't enjoy the flavoring of the apple butter and that the chicken was chunky. I'm wondering if I'd like a tuna sandwich from here instead. This place has indoor and outdoor seating- I did notice most people chose to sit outside. The customer service was alright. We would not be getting that sandwich again and possibly not visit again especially for the price.

What a great place to eat! Such high quality at reasonable prices. And creative and inventive…read moresandwiches, salads, and soups that I enjoy time to time alone, with friends, or with family. This location is newer than the other location by Whole Foods and is right next to Starbird which is also great. There used to be an Amazon Fresh in this plaza--but it is gone now... they had such great prices and people didn't know about it! Pinkberry is still here after all these years and still refreshing and delicious! Try their Vegan Banh Mi. Even meat eaters alike who appreciate Vietnamese cuisine may enjoy it too. I really appreciate the clean A/C air in here. Not sure what they're doing, but it's working!

Another pleasurable visit!…read more I ordered the Farm Club Sandwich and forgot to ask for ciabatta bread instead of wheat. Even after placing my order, the staff was happy to accommodate the change, which I greatly appreciated. The sandwich, paired with the tomato basil soup, was phenomenal. It was loaded with turkey, smashed avocado, smoked bacon, pickled red onions, and fresh greens. The flavors blended perfectly, creating a sandwich that, in my opinion, is far better than anything you'll find at Panera. After my wife and I finished our meal, one of the staff members, Zeron, kindly offered to clear our trays and bowls. Service like that never goes unnoticed. As always, the atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming, with plenty of indoor seating as well as outdoor tables for those who prefer to dine outside. Thank you for another delicious lunch. We look forward to coming back again soon!
