Mega Deli - Sandwiches Near Me - San Diego, California

The lady that made my sandwich was very nice, the owner asked me to I pay before my sandwich was ready, it was awkward, so im trying to pay and still tell her what i wanted on My sandwich at the same time...like a subway but worse. He was rude. She was awesome. Its a deli inside a gas station..no problem with that. Just a problem with the way everything went down, i tipped my sandwich lady cuz she was great. read more

It is 5:30 on a Wednesday and they are already closed. Yelp hours for today says open until 6:30pm. Need to update their hours. read more

The sandwiches are great. Sandy is the best sandwich maker. Always a good experience at mega deli.

Wanted a quick sandwich after a trip to the doctor, and not gonna lie, but the prospect of a gas station sandwich (in light of the positive yelp reviews, of course) intrigued me. I ended up pulling the trigger out of sheer curiosity, and frankly, I'm very happy I did. No, this isn't the best sandwich you'll ever get, but it's definitely better than subway/a generic sandwich place. Pierre is the manager of the gas station (from what I can tell) who loves to make sandwiches. He legitimately wants to make you a sandwich that you'll like, and it shows. In my opinion, there are 2 things that separate his sandwiches from any other generic sandwich shop: 1) the house-made oil and vinegar and 2) his homemade garlic spread. He makes the oil and vinegar mixture in house and adds some spices that legitimately compliment the sandwich well (I know it sounds outlandish, but trust me). After reading some reviews about the garlic spread, I asked if he had it, and he pulled a pyrex glass tupperware out of the fridge (he said he makes it with his vitamix). At that point, I knew it was going to be good lol. The oil and vinegar and garlic spread separate his sandwiches from any other generic shop. Like the other reviews say, if you're looking at the menu and can't decide what to order, tell him to make you something good and you'll definitely enjoy it! I've gotten the italian and pastrami on wheat, and both were great sandwiches. read more

I was skeptical getting a good deli sandwich inside of a gas station. Pierre made me the best sandwich. He gave me so many options I couldn't decide and I finally said make me one that I will love and he sure did. I will go back and I highly recommend this deli if you want an amazing sandwich. read more

Excellent sandwich even better customer service! So glad I stopped by, sandwich did not disappoint!

Had one of the best pastrami sandwiches I've had in San Diego. I highly recommend you guys who love pastrami and great deli sandwiches to try this place out. read more

Mega Deli - Sandwiches Near Me - San Diego, California

cruised up on a post-gym yerba mate whim , got caught eyeing the deli menu in curiosity and was informed by the good man he was prepared to make me the best sandwich i've ever had. hesitant i was , i gave the gentle man the opportunity, informing him of my dietary choices, and letting him run free within those bounds. within seconds it became abundantly clear that Pierre meant business, and this man is in the Business of Love; never in my life have i received such an expertly prepared & intentionally crafted meal as i have while in his metaphorical arms. the crispness of the bread, the warm savoriness of the chicken, and my goodness those peppers?? did he grow them himself?? i find myself, even now - Hours! after enjoying this Labor of Love , this torpedo , reveling in the memory of my time spent in this Mega Deli. what started off as a spur of the moment decision has undoubtedly evolved into a new local favorite. good as hell mane , ten stars for real read more

Mega Deli - he drew me from memory - Sandwiches Near Me - San Diego, California

This is a pretty good deli- they have the specials daily and they are a good size foot long. No extra charges for your favorite toppings and filling. The staff gave great help and conversation. I will definitely be back- Thursday's are a definite! The only thing is- cut the chicken breast a little thinner. read more

This place is amazing. Great customer service. But most of all one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. A sandwich that tasted like it was made with love. I'd recommend this place to anyone. Actually here now ordering again. read more

Ok, I would have never just stopped here but I was getting a carwash next door and I cruised over for a sandwich fingers crossed. So, the sandwich was AMAZING. Wow!! I asked the manager, Pierre, to make me something he thought was good- surprise me..holy moly was this a great surprise. He made me some kind of chicken sandwich with veggies and this DELICIOUS garlic paste sauce. The whole time he was super friendly. As I was in there, a bunch of customers came through and he was quick and sensed urgency with everyone. I wouldn't have expected such great service. So, excellent service, delicious sandwich, and very reasonable prices! My new sandwich spot for sure. If you like little sandwich places, you'll love it! Def recommend!! read more

Oh man - I'm so glad I stopped in here today! I've seen the signs for this deli for years but never made a point to stop in. Decided to finally try it today in between running errands nearby. Pierre immediately greeted me with a warm smile and a hearty hello. He then proceeded to make me one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I ordered the London broil on white bread and he toasted it to perfection. The entire time he was making my order, we were chatting and he was telling me about the history of the deli. It seems so sadly rare nowadays that anyone is willing to chat with a stranger and so the talk was welcome and kind. I just ate my half of the sandwich in record time - I am debating if I truly want to share the rest! The bread was incredibly fresh and soft and the sandwich was made to perfection. I should also note that the entire sandwich was just around $8 and that is for a full sandwich for two people. The sandwiches here are bigger and of a much higher quality than Subway but the prices are just about the same. If you find yourself nearby - definitely stop in and say hi to Pierre and have him make you an excellent sandwich! read more

After a visit to the doctor, I needed a good sandwhich. While not the best I've had, it's excellent for the price point. The employees are extremely friendly, and I'd go again read more

The employees here proceed exceptional customer service and we're very friendly. I could tell the people here care about what they do and their customers read more

Honestly surprised to find a great deli inside a gas station. I was in search of a quick bite before the gym and this was the closest non fast food place in the area. I was only going to get some Gatorade and business owner convinced me to get a sandwich. I had a turkey on wheat roll filled with lots of vegs, and it only cost 8 plus change + a little bit extra for avocado. The sandwich was enough for 2 people. Quality is good, vegetables are fresh. read more

I go to this daily about 2 to 3 times a week I work next door so it is very convenient to get here and have lunch. I always go with the specials there are 350 a piece and there pretty damn good. Today I got the Tuesday special which is a turkey Italiano but I always like to add a Twist to it and I had a few Meatballs 2 the equation. I call it the Godfather or in Spanish I call it El Padrino. This thing is Bomb I mean just look at it seriously just look at it. read more

Mega Deli - Sandwiches Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

Friendly staff and speedy service but the sandwich was not that great. Got the Tuesday special which was a chicken bacon ranch sandwich for 6.99. This place is definitely a subway copy. I got the wheat bread and it was old and stale and tasted like it was on the verge of turning moldy. The chicken came in chunks in theses little portioned out paper trays and was microwaved in the tray first (just like subway) there is no possible way that the chicken was boars head like advertised because boars head does not make chunk chicken in little paper trays. The bacon was little precooked out of the box bacon (just like subway) they offer a variety add fixings and sauces to build your sandwich in these little trays behind the glass(just like subway) even as I Write this review while sitting in the parking lot I still have the old stale taste of the bread in my mouth. I definitely will not be trying anymore of there sandwiches. Two stars only because the owner and staff were good people. read more

Unbelievably good sandwiches! I was in the area, saw their sign, and thought, what the heck, I'm hungry....why not give it a try? I ordered the turkey italiano, panini-style. It was made to order, with the exact same options as Subway, except this place also has a panini toaster (!) Win! Perfectly assembled and toasted. It was so freakin good I ate the whole thing, even though originally I had planned on saving half for later. About the same price as a subway foot long: six dollars and something. I should have taken a picture of the sandwich but I was way too interested in eating it. I'll get a pic next time... I'll deff be back! Awesome food, fast service, and they even accept EBT (UNLIKE subway!). This deli is located inside the mini mart of the mega fuel gas station, on the southeast corner at the intersection of shawline and clairmont mesa Blvd. Don't miss it! read more

Amazing Sandwiches A+ service make sure to come and ask for Nancy super helpful and will take care of you and make sure to ring the bell at the end and not to mention delicious breakfast burritos.. Josh from AJW Facilities and Construction read more

Let me start by saying...Yelp brought me here. I was looking for a great new small deli to try out and because of the reviews I figured this was a cool posh new "Mega Deli" Due to the area, I was thinking it would be a cool new spot since there are so many here in Claremont that I haven't tried...so MAYBE my expectations were just too high. I pulled into the gas station parking lot, I should have known to lower my expectations right then and there...but I went in because of Yelp. I ordered my sandwich, and It's literally subway guys ... Same bread, same toppings... down to the lettuce, spinach, cheese...and even the containers. The signature black subway squares!! I added an extra star because the turkey was better quality (Boars Head they said) so extra star for that but everything else... Subway. EXCEPT the prices.. it was $5.50 for a 6 inch and $8-9 for a footlong (with avocado) I really actually liked the lady who made my sandwich!! She was great and for that another star! However, the lady at the gas station register which you have to pay for the sandwich at was less than spectacular. Reason being, I had ordered my sandwich and had been waiting to pay, and she helped a guy who walked in after me and after I had been waiting to pay. I literally had my credit card out and asked the price and then she told me and then a guy came in and cut me, grabbed two waters, and she helped him first. Either way, I just think this place should be accurately accounted for with reviews so FOODIES don't get misled. This is not your place to meet up and have a nice sandwich with your friends. Another note, they highly filter their reviews, just look at the facts. When choosing my stars yelp describes two stars as "Meh, I've had better" which is 100% accurate. read more

Mega Deli - Subway bread, subway toppings... This was $5.50 for 6 in $7 for a footlong. - Sandwiches Near Me - San Diego, California

I work within walking distance, and grabbing lunch at Mega Deli has very quickly become a staple of my work day. Think Subway, but with actually decent quality bread and meat. I've tried several different sandwiches there and have been continually impressed. Takeaways from my different trials: - The squaw bread is delicious. Probably my favorite bread there. - Add avocado! The price is worth it, and it adds so much to the composition of the sandwich flavors. - Ask about their homemade sauces. I've tried their garlic oil spread, and the spicy chipotle mayo. Both are excellent. - Get it toasted and/or grilled on their panini press. I used to get full sandwiches before trying a panini there, and now I get nothing else (except the occasional squaw bread sandwich, and even then I'll still ask for it to be grilled on the panini press). My current go-to is whole wheat, turkey, swiss, avocado, assorted veggies, and spicy chipotle mayo combined and then thrown on the panini press for a minute or two. At $6, I feel like I'm getting more than my money's worth. It's not just the food, the people that work behind the counter are also incredibly welcoming. They converse and joke with customers they know but still maintain professionalism when it comes to the service they are providing. Shout-out to Nancy, for being the best panini chef I know (in both English, and Spanish)! This establishment is located in a gas-station convenience store, and that may frighten some people away, but the quality of the food and the people that make and serve it are well worth the stop. read more

Absolutely delicious sandwiches by Pierre!!!!! Fire 100 percent of the time. Got a delicious london broil sandwich- please take my money sir and do what you do. Cared enough to even let me taste all the bread. I am Jewish- he had rye - any questions? read more

Randomly found this place when looking for lunch with my mom, not realizing it was in a gas station. Decided to give it a try on a Saturday, only to find the deli was closed. The owner could see we were disappointed and graciously decided to open up for us anyway! He was very clearly proud of his business and his sandwiches - especially the homemade garlic spread. Rightly so, the club sandwich I had was delicious and I'll be back when I'm in the area again! read more

This place rocks!! They use Boars head brand meat which are awesome on their own. They pack the sandwich with meat and their prices are reasonable. Will continue to go here!!!!!! read more

Pierre is a man!! I didn't expect any service at all, but I got 5star service just a second ago!! He made for me a delicious sandwich , but station was already closed!! What a guy!! read more

Pierre is a amazing guy. So very helpful when I walked in for the first time today. He made me some KILLER sandwiches. We did a tuna on squa and a turkey on squa. Both were amazing! Pierre walked me through all his favorites and even told me about a secret garlic sauce he is developing. Cant wait to try it. read more

Customer service is very good here no matter who's working and their food is always fresh. This is my go to lunch spot whenever I'm craving sandwiches. Thanks Pierre and team for your great service. read more

I ordered the special chicken sandwich. I am glad I used a discounted coupon. I had to throw most of it away since the bread I chose (squaw bread) tasted stale and was hard. read more

DELICIOUS SANDIWICHES!!! I enjoy coming here not only for the food but for the great customer service Pierre and the team bring. Always smiling & just all around positive energy around here. This place is located inside of the gas station across food 4 less and jiffy lube. I recommend trying the paninis they're awesome. 10/10 read more

Hidden Gem! Not really hidden but inside of the gas station. I typically steer away from restaurants within a gas station but today I went ahead and gave it a go. Surprisingly enough, this place is really good! I had one of those "don't judge a book by it's cover" moment once I bit into my italian sandwich. If you need a quick sandwich fix, this place will fulfill your sandwich cravings. read more

Stopped to get gas at the gas station and decided to give the deli a try. Was not expecting much, but the panini I had was delicious. The workers were very friendly and it was priced really well! Very convenient and easy, many healthy options as well! Would recommend this place to anyone who wants a quick, delicious, well priced meal! read more

Don't hesitate to try this deli because it's inside of a gas station... this place is delicious! The portions are great for the price and they have some house specialties that are great! So far I've always made their sandwiches into paninis and I keep coming back :) the owner is super nice as well !! read more

Service was amazing, very friendly staff. He helped me choose a sandwich that tasted good. Unfortunately, after I ate the sandwich, I got food poisoning. A couple hours later I started throwing up. It was my only meal of the day. Hope they keep track of their expiration dates on their food, especially their meats. read more

Came to wash my car next door and decided to try this spot, got the daily special turkey sandwich, it was tasty, similar to subway but better, Plus the lady that makes the sandwiches is super kind along with the owner. Will definitely be stopping by another time. The place looks clean and not as expensive as other sandwich places in this area. read more

Hidden gem for those that work nearby and want a quality lunch without breaking the bank. The workers are friendly, and keep the deli clean, on top of that they use boars head products rather then lower quality stuff some big sandwitch chains use, while being about the same price. Definitely try them out if your hungry and in the kearny mesa area read more

I was disappointed to see such a big change. I could not get my favorite lunch special.They increased the prices from $3.50 to $6.00 and only one size is available, an 8 inch which we all know is a 6'' dressed up....no thank you. DEFINITELY going back to Subway. read more
