Entirely unnecessary response, insulting the elderly?
A T.

While driving on a trip through Marina, my experience with Marcus the owner, was poor. Marcus was rude, grimaced the entire time and acted like I was an inconvenience. Marcus's man-child responses to legitimate customer reviews are petty and completely unnecessary.

Turkey Club
Maricarmen C.

I was looking for a sandwich shop in the area, and this place caught my attention so we decided to try it. We tried their turkey club and I believe grinder sandwich. Both were good, but we were not necessarily impressed. The staff were very friendly, the shop is super cute with plenty of seating and parking available. We were unfortunately not huge fans of the taste, but I think they might still be worth a try since everyone has different taste buds!!:)

Consistently rude.
Mellisa P.

I can't believe that I gave this place a second chance. Consistently rude and not worthy of my hard-earned dollars.

Grilled chipotle wrap and Philly cheesesteak

Service was quick. Food was excellent. Must try the garlic fries, they're delicious. I'm not much of a "sandwich" or wrap person but we came two days in a row

Local wares
Ryan L.

Just like the name, this place is 100 percent Local--and who doesn't want to support that? Highlighting local artisans and their goods inside, the decor is a little mismatched but works giving LOCAL a comfortable corner vibe. I ordered the Reuben and was absolutely impressed. Made to order. Made with love. I found myself enjoying the food more because I know I was supporting my neighbor. Portion sizes are pretty large so don't worry about leaving hungry. Only negative I would say is that some of the non-traditional sandwiches can be a bit of a miss. The take on Banh Mi isn't quite hitting the Vietnamese mark for me--but that may be from the fact that I prefer my mom's. If you want to experience solid food and support local, this is the place to go.

Ruben

We stopped in today on our way to the beach for some sandwiches. Oh my gosh my Ruben was delightful!!! Definitely stop in and try out this place.

Reuben, macaroni salad, Hot Italian Sandwich, Mom's Potato Salad.
Lori M.

BFF and I popped by today and it was not busy - 1 customer ahead of us. Marcus was making their sandwiches but greeted us upon entering and answered our questions. When I couldn't decide between the cold and hot Italian, he recommended the hot. I'm so glad he did because it was perfect! We ended up with that and the Reuben. Also had the macaroni salad and "Mom's Potato Salad." Not sure whose mom made it but it was perfect! Not too saucy, skin-on potatoes, red onions, celery, pickles...so darn yummy - a perfect potato salad! Definitely will be back to work our way down the menu and to chat up Marcus more. I'm not at all understanding the reviews of Marcus being rude or racist - my lunch partner is non-white and we received friendly service with a smile and did not at all get that vibe. Thanks for the great sammies and sides - had the kettle chips and beverages as well. Will definitely be back again and will support the local artists whose goods are for sale next time as well!

Cape cod
Vicky C.

You know the sandwich is gonna be good when you see the cheese and meat in its own block. Sandwich for breakfast, lunch and dinner, yes. I've been here a couple of times and it never disappoints. I'm a Ruben type of girl but this most recent time, ordered cape cod. Who doesn't love the taste of Brie.... in a sandwich!? They put a hefty amount of meat in your sandwich which is awesome, I personally couldn't finish the other half of my sandwich. The owner really cares about putting locals first. Look at the local vendors showcasing their work on the shelfs. I can go on and on but honestly just try the sandwiches and let me know what you think Two thumbs way up

Perfection
Josh F.

I'm gonna plan every trip to the Monterey area around eating here. I wish I discovered this place sooner. I ordered Rubin and it was splendid. From grandma's potato salad was off the chain.

My mom and I like to come here often as you can tell lol we went in yesterday and decided to try…read moresomething different. We actually tried one of their hot chicken sandwiches. 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.

Had to fuel up before a 4-mile hike, and since I've cut out junk food, I went searching for…read moresomething solid. Found this deli--and wow, it was exactly what I needed. I went with the pepperoni + pastrami sandwich, and it hit every craving without weighing me down. Fresh, stacked right, and one of those sandwiches that makes you sit back and go, "Alright... this was the right call." The service sealed the deal. Super friendly, patient, and genuinely warm. 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. And definitely the kind of spot I'd come back to anytime I need real fuel before hitting the trail.

There's limited 20 min parking in front of the market or you can go park in the neighborhood. We came in with no expectations! Veggie sandwich 4.8/5! It was packed and delicious! Ofc I could only eat half. It was a solid veggie sandwich with sprouts also. I loved that every bite also had a punch of tangy flavor from the pickled banana peppers and jalapeños. Honey enjoyed his roast beef sandwich too! 4/5 We also ordered potato salad when I couldn't stop thinking about it. 4/5 Steady line. Nice ladies. It's more of a to go spot but there's some seating inside and outside. Would return!

Haiku: La Sala's Bi-Rite Market…read more Cute deli market Famous hearty sandwiches Friendly, family-run. --- On our road trip back home, I'm so glad we stopped by La Sala's for their famous tasty and hearty sandwiches. I've heard so much about this legendary, family-owned deli and market. I couldn't decide between a hot or cold sandwich, so I got both the Meatball Sandwich and the Roast Beef Sandwich on Dutch Crunch bread. These sandwiches were hefty and hit the spot. The meatballs were savory, and I loved that the bread soaked up the juices and tomato sauce. It was my first time trying The Dutch Crunch bread. The crispy, mottled outside and soft inside made for a fun textured sandwich. It didn't taste any different, but I thought the crackled crust was so unique. Service was friendly and efficient. She gave great recommendations for sandwiches. The market was handy to grab road trip snacks. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area.

So I was driving down to Monterey from Sacramento for a quick little 36 hour golfing trip.When I…read morearrived in Monterey,I was starving so I quickly jumped on Yelp and found the closest breakfast burrito spot I could find-That's when I found 3 Mundos Sandwich Shop on Fremont Street,which is a sandwich shop that also makes breakfast burritos. 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.
