Mangini’s Pizzeria

I'm pleased to report that Beyer Deli was everything you said it was. Thanks Yelpers!…read more Now that's a sandwich! The hours may be a little skimpy, but the meats are bountiful...pause. A little off the beaten path...yes Selective hours while you're probably working...yeah Worth an extended lunch to grab one of these sandos...Absolutely! Dena and the crew are putting together some seriously delicious and well-thought-out, stacked sandos. While you won't be getting a footlong roll, the sizable portion of fillings makes for an excellent meat to bread ratio. And speaking of bread, while most of the sandwiches come on a fresh torta roll, you also have your choice of sourdough, wheat, rye, squaw, French roll, wrap, or croissant. Now that's wassup. What I tried on this visit: The New Yorker and The Italian Both sandwiches were absolutely fire. I started with the Italian and the first thing I noticed was the beautiful, shimmering, thinly sliced red onion. The shine on the veggies immediately let me know they were perfectly dressed with oil and vinegar. Upon separating the two halves to reveal the innards, layers upon layers of freshly sliced meats were waiting to be devoured. First bite...ecstasy. Not only were the veggies dressed, they were also seasoned. The combination of the flavorful proteins, tasty veggies, and fluffy torta, were a HIT! This sandwich was juicy in all the right ways. My only wish is that I would have substituted the American cheese with more provolone or swiss. Moving on to The New Yorker...Hello Pastrami!! Bomb, bomb, bomb. Both the corned beef and the pastrami were smackin' on this hot sando. Wonderfully tender, lean, flavorful proteins were packed inside this torta for absolute deliciousness. I wish I had one right now. The only thing that would have made this better was some horseradish mustard. Along with sandwiches there are breakfast items including bagels and a burrito, salads, soups, chips, and a famous brownie. Unfortunately, the brownies were sold out by the time I arrived, but I'll definitely pick one up the next time they're available. Great pickles, free parking, a few outside tables, and some inside seating rounds out the experience. Call ahead to minimize the wait. Thanks Dena and crew! I'll be back!!!

Finally had the chance to try this place. A cousin of mine grew up in the area and has always told…read moreme to come but I just now had the chance. I had the New Yorker and when I asked I didn't know what brea to pick so I was recommended sourdough with provolone cheese. I devoured the sandwich it was so good. Everyone here is so nice with service and the customer in mind. You can tell they remember the returning customers when someone comes in to pick up an order and they mention, "you remember" pertaining to a specific way they like an order. Heads up, it's cash only

Friendly staff. Affordable prices. Cons: the parking lot is a little sketchy so be careful where you park.

The last time I visited this business, it was still called Los Pollos Rotisserie and Cuban Bakery…read more That shows you how long it has been because House of Cuban Flavor has been the name for more than a few years now under the same ownership. It's located in one of the middle suites between an auto parts store and a supermarket in an Otay strip mall of Chula Vista. Parking was plentiful as there were way more spaces in the lot than customers even at peak hours. There were a few tables placed on the sidewalk in front of the suite, but no seating was available inside. The coffee making station was to the right when you walked in. To the left of the service counter were glass displays containing the baked goods and desserts. Four small menu boards hung behind the counter. From left to right, the category on each board was Sandwiches, Cuban Specialties, Plates & Combos, and Bowls. Several trays in the display case were empty during my afternoon visit. The cashier ensured me that nothing was sold out. Items that were not displayed still could be ordered and made fresh by the kitchen. The Cuban Specialties were broken down further into Stuffed Potato Balls, Empanadas, and Pastries. Each offering cost $2.45 regardless of its composition. That was disappointing because I have encountered similar bakeries in which there were similar choices for less than $2 apiece. My order started with one of each of the potato balls (meat, spicy chicken, jalapeno & cheese) including a variety that wasn't listed (spicy pork). These were fried and then placed inside a cardboard takeout container. Each of the four had a slightly different color and/or texture to distinguish them from each other. The size was slightly smaller than a tennis ball. The meat filling was my favorite because it had the least heat as the other three contained noticeable spiciness. I also bought a meat empanada, a guava pastry, and a mango & cheese pastry. The pastry dough was light and flaky. The portion size was less impressive for $2.45. I recall when some of these were sold for one dollar less so the value has decreased over time. The fruit flavor of the guava and mango respectively was sweet but not over the top. For this recent experience at House of Cuban Flavor, I gave a 3.5 star rating.

I literally told my sister "oooh a deli, I want a torta after" and then I headed into Bellus. As I was walking in the owner of this deli confronted me telling me not to park there and I let him know I had just been dropped off and wouldn't be taking up any of his parking and he continued "the car, the car" so persistently I had to just about yell at him that she left and we weren't parked there. Mind you his establishment was completely empty at the time. Not that it would be an excuse if we did park there( which I would never do). Throughout my entire appointment I was thinking about how crazy he came at me and when I decided to mention it to the esthetician student doing my facial she mentioned she had ordered some tostilocos from him the day prior that came with apple on them (unusual) and that the cueritos on them were mushy and when she asked for her money back on them he had an attitude about it, which I believe given what I saw from him today. On my way out I stopped to let him know that I was a potential customer and he totally deterred me from patronizing his business. Oh and shocker: his place was still empty when I told him this and it was lunchtime. Interesting.

I had such a good experience at Ichiban Sando, my best friends were visiting and one of the places…read morethat they had seen online was Ichiban Sando. I loved that they had a pre-made sandos ready to grab and go, so we each grabbed our own boxes and a matcha. The box I had, included a shrimp sando, egg salad sando and a mango cream sando. I also ordered a large corn matcha, I am really into corn matchas. They also had, pork and chicken as an option for protein, an all fruit box and poke. They have hot food too, we'll definitely have to come back to try it. The shrimp sando was so good, super flavorful and whatever sauce they use I ended up using as a little dip for my egg sandwich. The fruit was really fresh, my mango still had a really good bite to it and it wasn't too sweet at all. My matcha, was delicious, I opted for the large because I was acting as tour guide. The matcha had good flavoring and the corn was not at all overpowering, perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be craving that matcha and whenever I'm in National city I'll definitely have to check them out. The service here was super friendly and the the restaurant was really inviting, would definitely recommend!

Our eyes are always hungrier than we are, so we ordered a lot, but managed to try everything. We got the chicken katsu curry plate, gyudon bowl, spicy katsu sandwhich, shrimp katsu sandwhich, a strawberry sandwhich, a tuna onigiri, a taro tornado, and thai tea. We loved the shrimp katsu sandwhich, which was nicely crunchy with the slaw to balance it out, however it was deceitfully full, as the pieces of shrimp are cut in half to make it seem like there is twice the amount of shrimp, but when you bite into those nice meaty pieces, that's it. The gyudon was very umami and flavorful and had a nice space portion. The curry was flavorful and rich. I would skip the spicy katsu sandwhich, it was very bland. The drinks were great! The taro flavor is so strong in the taro tornado and the mochi bits are such a nice texture. The thai tea was a classic, always consistently delicious wherever we go.

The sandwich was reasonably priced at around $8 with tax, and it was such a refreshing meal for my boyfriend & me to enjoy in the middle of the summer heat. Not only was our House Special sandwich prepared and served quickly; we originally thought that our House Sprcial Bánh Mi was going be served warm.

The crust is hands down 10/10. Great layout, spacious booths or larger high tops for bigger groups. Highly recommend getting a flight of the mini pizzas so you can sample all. We ordered maybe 8 for a larger group and it offered a great meal experience! We couldn't agree on a favorite. Safer to just get them all:) Wings were so good also. Can't wait to come back.

I love this place so why the one star? I went there tonight and it was full of 9 and 10 year olds who were baseball players. The rumor was that those kids ate for free, so it was packed and loud and no place to sit. All of these paying customers were waiting outside and then just left. I would be grateful if management would contact me through this review and let me know if things are always going to be like this on Saturday nights. read more
