not good: the torta ratio was not good. the meat eas really mushy so i felt like i was eating bread with mush

I've been hitting up Yelp's top 10 delis in San Diego and this was definitely a worthy entry. Mali's is a cute little place on a cul-de-sac of tech businesses near the Montgomery Field airport off Ruffin Road. There is ample seating outside with umbrellas to protect folks like me who explode into flame if sun touches them. I got a turkey, avocado, and bacon sandwich on lightly toasted sourdough. It was delicious with plenty of fresh ingredients. The staff was super nice and attentive and went out of their way to get my Dad's fussy tuna sandwich order correct. I'll definitely be coming back! Thank you ladies!

Very good! First time trying this place! Reasonable prices and fresh sandwiches! I loved that you can order half sandwiches

The sauce was a good touch to the salad and I only had to use just one since they give you two of that sauce to-go. The pita is just a standard pita but a nice carb addition. Loved the combination of flavors and crunch in this! Service: The staff is so nice and the lady who checked me out at the register gave me 2 pitas since I was sharing with someone. So kind! Ambiance: It's small but cutely decorated. There's indoor and outdoor seating. A lot of people will grab and go here but some people also sit around to eat their food.

They have a variety of preset menu options or you can go down the line and have them craft a salad to your liking. They're also available via delivery apps. For the price, I do think the portions are large. They don't skimp and fill the bowl to the brim with ingredients of your choosing. I also like that the free bread they include is pita. I find that while the portions are huge, it's never truly satisfying. Some of the greens can look a little limp, so I often choose my base based on what looks the most fresh. Some of the ingredient toppings are raw, while others have a marinade or seasoning. I like the seasoned cauliflower, but find the brussell sprouts to be dry and not quite right (in between raw and cooked). I've gotten a few different salads from here, but there's just something missing. I love a make your own salad concept and I appreciate the accessibility of a healthy food option, but would love to see more consistency with freshness.

Great place! I got the tuna melt and it was fresh. Beware places that only use tuna/mayo spackle…read more But this is not that kind of place! I can tell by the red onion it had chopped and mixed into the tuna. That doesn't store long so I can tell the tuna has a fast turnover rate. Their sesame noodles are fantastic too! A must try. The other person got the wasabi roast beef sandwich which they loved as well. Both sandwiches had the right balance of bread/fillings. Stoked I found a new sandwich spot. Service was friendly and prompt.

I stopped by here this past Monday for lunch as part of a party of eight. We were in Balboa Park,…read moreand I was looking for a fast-casual type of place when BFG came up, so we headed on over. This restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, with giant menus on the wall inside as well as a cooler case. You place your order, and then they bring it out to you. We decided to sit inside, so while I think the outside tables may have had fire pits, I can't actually confirm that. My daughter and I ended up getting there first, and she was hungry, so I ordered the Basic for her while I went with the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. Mine was described as roast chicken, Point Reyes blue cheese, Fresno chili hot sauce, red onion, carrot, cabbage, lettuce, garlic aioli, and ciabatta, while my daughter's was described as a fluffy three-egg patty topped with cheddar cheese on ciabatta. Service was pretty quick, and I think we had our food within about ten minutes of ordering. My daughter enjoyed the egg sandwich and almost completely finished it by herself, which is saying something. The cheese was melted nicely and had a good pull to it. Then my chicken sandwich ended up being pretty good as well. The chicken was tender, and the hot sauce was flavorful, albeit not as spicy as I was expecting from a Fresno chili hot sauce. I also enjoyed the slaw and aioli and thought the ciabatta was solid as well. My wife also enjoyed her sesame chicken salad here, especially the chicken, while my son ate some of his kids' grilled cheese. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. Our food here was good, and I appreciated not only the fast-casual nature of the restaurant but the price as well.

Went to Helix Brewery for a friends birthday and was pleasantly surprised that this food truck was…read morethere. You order at the truck and they bring it right to you at your table. I sat and sipped on my drink while observing orders coming to my friends and the people around me. One of the most prominent things I noticed was how fresh and vibrantly colored everything looked as well as the portion sizes. I knew I had to try it. So I walked up and was greeted by a really nice lady who was ready to answer any questions I had and take my order. The menu is easy to read and has some great choices from salads, to panini's, to wraps and soup. I opted for the chicken Caesar wrap, and let me tell you, it was so fresh, crisp, and flavorful! Packed with chicken, onions, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and croutons. The portion size was HUGE! The wrap had the most wonderful amount of crunch from the lettuce, onions, and croutons, and the dressing was generous but not too powerful. I definitely want to come back to helix brewing almost more for the food truck than the drinks! Bravo!

Like I said coleslaw is hit and miss. This was definitely a hit!! So good, very different, love the flavor!! The 2 guys running the truck were super fun, and made the truck even better! If you see the truck somewhere you have to try them!!
