She was working at the nearby Timber Fire (Big Sur) & needed a hearty meal before returning to her hotel for the night. She had one of the lamb wraps with a salad.

I wasn't very hungry & don't usually eat alot of animal products, so I opted for the kids' cheese pizza with fresh olives. It was pretty bad. The olives weren't the best kind for cheesy pizza -- too flavorful & competed with the pizza. The crust was awful -- thick & flavorless. The cheese -- too much & boring. My dinner was a bust.

It was chipotle barbecue, and it was extremely delicious. I do appreciate that they never make a big deal about cutting the sandwich in half. I also think it is extremely kind that the manager Chris remembers our names and our orders and will always bring out the food to us ask us how we are etc. as you can see by my continuous reviews here this is a great place. They have super solid sandwiches very fresh ingredients and the customer service is top-notch. The facility is always clean. We were helped by a trainee yesterday. He did fabulous and honestly when you have a manager like Chris it's gonna rub off on the employees,there's not often when you go to a place and all of their staff is extremely friendly. It is like that here and I think it's because of the management having the energy they do. Bravo deli delicious you're doing it right we will always be back and if you haven't noticed your manager, Cris is out of this world and he probably needs a raise.

They let me take my time ordering, didn't rush a thing, and even brought the sandwich out to me--small touches that make a place stand out. Great food. Great hospitality.

I, a humble seeker of gastronomic satisfaction, recently embarked on a quest for a sandwich, only to encounter an establishment that left me utterly dismayed. This sandwich shop, a supposed beacon of lunchtime delight, treated me with an appalling lack of respect and courtesy. From the moment I stepped through the doors, the atmosphere reeked not of the inviting aroma of freshly baked bread, but of disdain and negligence. The owner displayed an alarming level of indifference. Their service was as cold and unfeeling as the unbuttered bread they dared to present me. The pinnacle of my frustration occurred when I was handed a sandwich that was an affront to my culinary expectations. Ingredients were haphazardly thrown together, lacking any semblance of care or consideration. The bread was stale, and the meat--if it could be called that--was dry and tasteless. This was not a sandwich; it was an abomination. I approached the counter to express my dissatisfaction, hoping for a resolution, but was met with condescension and outright rudeness. The owner's refusal to rectify their grievous errors was a final, unforgivable insult. It is evident that this establishment has chosen to abandon the fundamental principles of hospitality and quality. In summary, this sandwich shop has revealed itself to be a bastion of incompetence and disrespect. I implore you, dear reader, to steer clear of this pitiful excuse for an eatery. May my misfortune serve as a warning to all who seek sustenance: there are far better places to spend your hard-earned money and valuable time. read more

I recently discovered a local sandwich spot that serves the most incredible Cubano sandwiches. From the perfectly toasted bread to the flavorful layers of pork, ham, and cheese, every bite was a symphony of flavors. The attention to detail and generous portion size left me fully satisfied. The friendly staff and cozy ambiance made the experience even better. If you're a fan of Cubano sandwiches, this place is a must-visit! read more

The owner is rude and racist. My family and I are black and he told my uncle he'd hang him dry. He told my sister to get behind the counter and make the sandwich herself. I would never get a sandwich from here again, he makes them with hate. Honestly, the sandwiches aren't even good. This place deserves to be shut down. read more

This is not a bot account, the way you respond to customer feedback shows how much a loser you are and how fragile your ego is.

When we arrived they had a small parking lot but busy because they do a lot of Door Dash and Uber Eats business. Once inside I took a quick look at the menu and saw they had breakfast burritos of either Chorizo-Sausage-Ham-Bacon or Veggie. I chose Chorizo breakfast burrito($10.39) The shop is run by the owner-he was the cashier and the cook. In talking to him,he was telling me that his family owns multiple Mexican small shops like this in the Juarez Mexico area and El Paso Texas area.Says that all the shops use the same recipe for their hot sauce that is served with the burritos. Once the burrito arrived,it was both heavy and warm.Once I cut it open,I was able to appreciate the craftsmanship of this burrito in all its chorizo,egg,potato and cheese glory-it was beautiful. As pretty as it was though,it tasted even better,I had planned on only eating half of it as I had a tee time in less than an hour but one bite led to another and then it was gone. I've had many breakfast burritos in my day and as unexpected as this is to say,this may have been the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Also the aforementioned family-recipe hot sauce that came with the burrito was so spicy yet so tasty--perfect combo to a perfect burrito. In closing,if you ever find yourself in the Monterey area and you want to treat yourself to some upper echelon breakfast burritos-do yourself a favor and stop at 3 Mundos sandwich shop-a top tier food experience awaits.
