Stopped by for a chef salad and it was amazing!! I took a pick to show my empty salad plate I ate every bite, service was good I just wish they didn't charge extra for grilled chicken on a Caesar salad. The ambiance is very welcoming, they have plenty of soups, salads and sandwiches. A great spot for lunch read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while but had to wait until I had a day off work. It did not disappoint! Super cute little shop with local pics of old San Diego on the walls! The staff were all friendly and the kind lady working the register gave us recommendations as it was our first time here. I got the El Fuego and my boyfriend the Godfather. The chipotle mayo was flavorful and went very well with the chicken. The sourdough bread was soft and delicious with the fresh meats. I definitely want to come back but unfortunately the hours are only Monday to Friday 8:00 - 4:00 pm so I can't stop by unless I have a day off work. read more

Worked provided lunch from Maya's Deli. I had the Albacore Tuna Salad. The salad has five ingredients: Lettuce (iceberg/Romaine), tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and tuna. Of course a choice of dressing too. I chose bleu cheese. They fill the plastic conatiner full of lettuce. In the corner is this little ice cream scoop sized ball of tuna. The lettuce-to-tuna ratio is appalling. The scoop of tuna was barely as big as the dressing container. It was a decent salad, albeit a bit lacking. This salad could have really benefitted from some cheese. Pepperoncinis would go a long way too. The tuna sandwich includes Swiss cheese and avocado, so...maybe, Maya's? The tuna was tasty and fresh. The lettuce was crisp. The bleu cheese dressing was decent. It lacked bleu cheese chunks in it. Maya's offers superb sandwiches. Get a sandwich for sure. Tuna salad? Not so much. read more

Only complaint is how light the amount of chicken salad and one piece of bacon ....needs more filling and bacon. Mac salad was excellent . Chili was just ok ....it comes with onions so I could not eat it .Potato Bacon soup was good ...id get again. When I come back I'll pay extra for more bacon and chicken salad.

The French Dip sandwich is a sandwich that sounds simple but is easy to mess up. If that Au Jus is wrong, you just have roast beef and dry bread. It's perfect here, not too salty, not watery either, good enough to be sipping broth (go ahead and do it, you're not eating at a suit and tie place in Del Mar.) The service was great, always very nice and helpful! I lived in New York so I'm used to people just throwing your food down on the table without a second thought but everyone was so nice. The place to eat inside was spacious and clean as well. Keeping with how I rate, (either I like you completely or I don't,) this is 5 stars! read more

Service there was just horrible. Came in today (June 9th) and ordered lunch and ended up having to wait 45 minutes despite being the first ones there and other people coming in after us and getting their food before us. Turns out they gave my food to someone else, after realizing their mistake they gave me a half ass apology and then made me wait another 20 minutes to get my food. Only to realize after leaving that they messed up my food, forgetting to put peanut butter on my acai bowl, not to mention that I had to pay an extra dollar to have peanut butter on it in the first place. But for my first time coming into the restaurant it would definitely be my last as there are other better deli shops near by and no way in hell am I waiting 45 minutes for a peanut butter sandwich and a acai bowl that I myself could've done in 15 minutes, not to mention how overpriced that place was. And the cashier had no idea what the fuck they were doing and was just completely lost, if you're thinking about eating here... definitely take your business somewhere else. read more

This a deli is pretty good. I had their pastrami sandwich on rye for only around $5.80 if I remember correctly. The sandwich came slightly toasted from a panini grill. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/9vsl0MGpLqpg7ghYv3XnZA?select=YGS8fkvsn6aLYZkHhEFNxA#hyXY04hoaVRsDDVYahKCVA) I asked for no mayo, but with everything else. To my pure happiness, they loaded the sandwich nicely with good pastrami and all the other ingredients. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/9vsl0MGpLqpg7ghYv3XnZA?select=YGS8fkvsn6aLYZkHhEFNxA#ZRcb3HUFnou5kpNFHmV9WQ) On another note, the pastrami was not as fatty as I have experienced on other sandwiches. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/9vsl0MGpLqpg7ghYv3XnZA?select=YGS8fkvsn6aLYZkHhEFNxA#d_pvRnGLqUCUp9DyLD_xvg) The sandwich as a whole was very good and tasted great. The rye was a little flat in flavor, but good enough. The place has a good amount of seating inside and is very basic, but with some nice tables and chairs. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/9vsl0MGpLqpg7ghYv3XnZA?select=YGS8fkvsn6aLYZkHhEFNxA#zwmbk91DDI19-sOsRUhRVA) It is located across form Fletcher Parkway Shopping Mall in a small strip mall.

I would recommend. My friend had a 8 inch Turkey sub and I hand a Turkey sandwich on rye. They were both good! And HUGE!! And great price. We both were only able to eat half and took the rest to go. I see why it's popular. Nothing over the top exciting but a good classic sandwich or sub. I feel like the shop is missing a special sauce or ingrediant. That would take it over the top. I wasn't sure I was driving in the right place because it looks like it's in the middle of an industrial park. This is blue collar sandwich joint and we were the only two women in the place. Very simple interior but bright and clean. Staff were very friendly. My friend has ordered form here many times and is always happy.

The customer service is always friendly, welcoming, and genuine -- the kind of neighborhood energy you just don't get everywhere anymore. It's not a huge space inside and the decor is a little outdated, but honestly that's part of the charm. This is a small business with a BIG impact, and the community clearly supports them because the food quality speaks for itself -- everything is fresh. My go-to order is the Big Chomp on a lettuce wrap when I'm trying to cut carbs but still want to be full. They split open a head of crisp iceberg lettuce and pack it with meats like turkey and beef, plus all the sandwich veggies -- onions, tomatoes, pickles -- and whatever condiments you want. It's crunchy, refreshing, and so satisfying that you honestly don't even miss the bread. Now when I'm extra hungry, their breads are fresh and the sandwiches are top-notch across the board. You really can't go wrong. Just a heads up -- they close at 3 PM daily, so if you're not there by then, you'll have to catch them another day. You can call ahead or stop in, but either way you won't be disappointed. PSA: Don't forget to grab a sandwich punch card. Rack up those punches and you'll earn a free sandwich. Thank me later

A few weeks back I was hanging out with an old friend and as we started discussing lunch, poke came…read moreto mind. It sounded good but we also weren't really feeling like going "out" and something that could be delivered or that we could pick up seemed like the better play. All the typical poke places showed up when we searched but none of them really sold us. Well, good thing I remembered that Valley Farm's poke game is strong... really strong. Believe me, I know that those of you who don't know Valley Farm will likely say "really?" when I detail that this sleepy little Spring Valley market kicks out poke as good as anywhere else in SD, but it's true. It's a sleeper of a choice but the quality and price will make you a fan, trust me.

Valley Farms Market is one of San Diego's hidden gems. From the moment you walk in, you can feel…read morethe difference. The store is clean, beautifully organized, and filled with high-quality products you don't always find at larger chain grocery stores. What I love most is their fresh selection, especially the produce, specialty items, and unique gourmet finds. Everything looks vibrant and carefully displayed. You can tell they take pride in what they offer. They also have a full butcher shop with everything you could desire. The selection is impressive, and it's wonderful knowing you can get high-quality cuts prepared fresh right there in the store. It adds such a personalized, old-fashioned market feel that you just don't see everywhere anymore. Another favorite of mine is their fresh-pressed cold juice blends, which I absolutely love. They taste incredibly fresh, and you can truly tell the difference in quality. It's such a treat to grab one while shopping. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It truly feels like a neighborhood market where customer service still matters. Whether I am picking up everyday essentials or something special for a gathering, I know I will find something wonderful here. If you appreciate quality, variety, and a pleasant shopping experience, Valley Farms Market is definitely worth a visit. I always leave happy!

So many options in the drinks aisle!
