    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.

    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

    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.

    Subway bread, subway toppings... This was $5.50 for 6 in $7 for a footlong.

They have a nice fire pit outside too. The staff were very nice. Only complaint I have is that it look a long time to get our food. It took almost a half an hour to get our food. My coworker ordered a Monster Burrito and he said it was cold when he started to eat it. Luckily my food was still warm. There was another customer that was quite upset about his order taking a long time too. I think if the staff had inform us of the wait or letting us know there is a delay then the anticipation wouldn't have been so bad.

In the past, I've had some really great meals and experiences there, which is why this review is difficult to write. Unfortunately, during my most recent visit to the Clairemont Mesa location, the food quality was noticeably different from what I remembered. Several items tasted stale, cold, and as though they had been reheated. The beans were mushy and lacked flavor, and the plantains seemed old and not freshly prepared. Overall, the meal felt below the standard I had experienced there before. I'm sharing this not to criticize harshly, but because I genuinely remember this restaurant being much better and I hope they can return to the quality and freshness that made the place special in the past. I truly want to see them succeed and improve because there is a lot of potential there.

It's a croissant with ham, bacon, eggs, cheese. 1st let's talk about the size. Holy moly it's bigger than my hand. It has lots of ham, good amount of eggs and 2 slices of bacon. When you get a bit with bacon it's perfect. Without bacon the eggs could use some salt. Over all really taste Ordering is confusing as there are 2 lines. One for sandwiches and one for the little Asian convenient store. I took the item to go which most people did but they have many inside and outside tables. They also have a bar with stools around the entire inside. Lots parking that is shared with many businesses. Over all very happy.

I usually call ahead to order and it makes pickup super quick and easy. Big parking lot too with lots of other food spots around, so it's convenient overall. Definitely grown on me and now it's one of my regular spots.

They do have a bar area if that is your preference. Clean and spacy with music playing. Not too loud however. We were a bigger family of 8 including 2 kids under 10.

I ordered the Love Waffle. Came with 4 big slices and fresh strawberries and bananas with drizzle of chocolate syrup in top. We also ordered the fish and chips. My fiancé is a big eater and he ended satisfied. The kids grilled cheese was nicely tasted and the kids pancakes were brought out with a smiley face of strawberries just as ordered. My son's Eggs to order plate came with bacon or sausage. He ordered the sausage but didn't care for them too much. He felt he should have chosen the bacon. Sausage were bigger, perhaps they were more like dinner sausage. They were good just our personal preference. The Torta Cubana plate could have been shared it was so big. Had to smash it down to eat. That was a gigs thing according to my son. Looked and tasted delicious. We ate for $150. Plate servings were huge. Some orders could have been shared between 2 people. Food was delicious!

The staff is also consistently warm and kind, which makes the whole experience feel good from the moment you walk in. My only real frustration is with the wait times on online orders, and it's significant enough that I have to mention it. I work 10 min away and only get a 35-40 minute break. The app consistently quotes around 20 minutes- but honestly, 20 minutes shouldn't even be necessary. I've stood there and watched them make a bowl. It takes about two minutes. Other similar restaurants have my order ready in five minutes, consistently. So when the app quotes 20 and then I still end up waiting at the 20 minute mark on top of that - in a nearly empty restaurant - something is off. Today this happened (I hit the 20 min mark with no food), and I had to go up and ask them to make my order. This isn't a one-time thing either. It's happened enough times over the years that it genuinely deters me from coming here on my break. To their credit, there was a stretch where it seemed like they had it figured out, so I know they can do it. I just wish that consistency would stick. If you're not on a time crunch, absolutely go. The food alone is worth it. But if you're relying on a quoted pickup time, build in a buffer- a bigger one than you'd think you'd need.
