Wow... just wow on return visit with two friends. We had a Mochiozo, a Crazy Rita, and a turkey Rueben. Pics with descriptions. Fresh fresh fresh. Beautiful bread. Superb meats. Add the extra ingredients and you've got perfection. Treated so nicely once again. Very relaxing with the quaint atmosphere and easy jazz in the background. I have found a gem. You are missing one of the best if you don't go.
7/23/24. Apparently we were here 8 years ago and thought it was a good sandwich place so we recommended to go with friends before a movie at Regal Cinema. It is in the same location and I think the decor is the same or similar but it kind of ends there. It appeared the one lady was running the whole place-cashier, waitress, making the sandwiches etc. when we walked in at 12:40 there were no customers?! While there one other couple came in...lunch hour? I believe it has been sold and the lady said she was Ukrainian; she needed help. We had given ourselves time but normally working people-it took too long to get sandwiches. The guys ordered Reubin and said they liked them, my friend's turkey (little skinny on meat) but mine was the star! I got 1/2 salad and 1/2 crazy Rita sandwich-both were huge. I could tell our server tried hard on the sandwiches but she needed help! (Funny 8 years ago we ordered the same thing but I got the cup of soup not the salad and a 1/2 crazy Rita!)
If you haven't eaten here, you don't know what you're missing. The sandwiches and salads are phenomenal. The soups are homemade and fabulous This is the Pastrami Crazy Rita. It's huge. Yelp, time to eat.
This small deli is absolutely stunning. I love the decor and music. The lady & gentleman was super friendly. I ordered the crazy Rita and it is delicious.
VERY good hot sandwiches. Exactly what we needed after a day of shopping in the area. NOTE: You will not be sure about this place from the outside, it's in an office park kind of place, but you MUST walk in and give it a try! The welcoming atmosphere inside more than makes up for the odd location outside. We were in the mood for something warm and meaty, but not thrilled about any of the chain restaurants that are all around the mall. Everything we had hit the spot. I got the Hot Chick because I was in the mood for something spicy, and my husband got a meatball sandwich. Both were excellent, with great flavor, and I feel like they were carefully made. I also got the house sangria, which only happens on Saturdays. It was great. Not very strong, but plenty of fruit and very delicious and refreshing. We don't live in this area of town, which is a shame because if we did I could see this being in the regular rotation.
Mocha Rita's is a hidden gem located across the street from the Regal Cinema on Phillips Highway. When lunch calls, the options on Phillips are loaded with fast food or mid-level sit down spots. Mocha Rita's is a locally owned lunch joint slinging sandwiches, wraps and smoothies. If you haven't had an opportunity to try, please do. There's something satisfying about eating a sandwich with quality meats on quality bread (the use only Boars head). The smoothies are too watered down, so I would advise skipping on these. I've had their tuna, egg salad sandwich and a Reuben. Unfortunately due to the fact I'm glued at my desk at work, I've only had it take-out. If the food is good take-out; it's probably even better there. Check them out and keep it local people.
Love Love LOVE this place! Absolutely one of my most favorite finds while living in the Mandarin area! One of a kind tastebud tantalizing sandwiches and so much more! If you live around here and don't know about this place, you are missing out!!! Get there; you won't regret it!
This family owned scratch kitchen deli is amazing! The freshest ingredients for a true scratch kitchen deli experience. They are currently hiring staff to open a new location so waiting for our food was well worth the quality they delivered! My girls enjoy their homemade signature chicken noodle soup..... call ahead if your in a rush!
WOW what a find! Hidden just off of Phillips Highway in an unassuming strip of stores you will find a beautiful little eatery that will make your taste buds dance for joy. It's in such an odd place in Jacksonville. However, this is totally my new lunch spot when at work; I will become a regular here. I found this off a suggestion from Yelp. I can't believe I didn't know about this place before. If you're a sandwich and sub connoisseur you will absolutely adore this place. The decor is lovely, everything is clean (even the bathrooms!), the food is fresh, the prices are very reasonable, and the service is great. They serve all Boar's Head meats which automatically catches my attention. For my first sandwich I went for the Regular MochaRit's Combo; ohhhh buddy. This was a mountain of meat! It consist of seasoned filet roast beef, tavern ham, ovengold turkey, melted provolone, mayo, lettuce, tomato and mustard (which I removed both). I added chipotle sauce, banana peppers, and black olives on 7 grain bread. Pair this with sweet tea and you will make all your senses very happy. Seriously this was so much food that I haven't even ate dinner yet because I'm still full from eating this and I had it around 1pm (8 hours ago). All of their sandwich prices around 8-9 bucks. Mine cost me $9.95 for a full sandwich and was $6.25 for half. With my sweet tea I paid like 11 bucks total I think. Had I known it was so much food I would opted for the half portion, but seriously no complaints here. I will go through a food coma for this place. You can opt for a half sandwich and soup or salad as well. So many things to try here it will take me awhile, but I'm ready for the challenge!
This little deli is sitting in the middle of a business park on Phillips Highway. The nice people that run it are quick with a suggestion and very helpful. The place is painted and decorated very warm and inviting. There are tables on the covered sidewalk outside. The food is delicious. I tried one of the soups...seafood corn chowder and it was loaded with Tilapia, salmon, shrimp, corn, potatoes and celery. It was tasty, creamy and fresh. I had a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread. It was amazing. The bread was sliced thick and had the oats on the crust. The lettuce and tomato were fresh and the turkey was Boarshead. They have a nice selection of bottled drinks, fountain drinks, homemade tea and a selection of smoothies, coffees and adult beverages as well. I would recommend this deli and I will be returning soon!
Very good sandwiches! My mom and I stopped by here today for lunch after reading some yelp reviews. It was our first time here and we were impressed. She had the Hot Chick which is buffalo style sliced chicken with Monterey Jack cheese, onions and a yummy chipotle sauce. Its grilled on fresh and delicious ciabatta bread. I got the Cowboy which is roast beef and bacon with cheese, lettuce, tomato and horseradish sauce on toasted white bread. We split the sandwiches. And we were both glad we did. They were so good. We will definitely be back!
I've been here a few times, usually after calling to confirm if it's seafood chowder day, because it's one of the best soups my mouth has ever experienced. The owner's mom makes all the soups herself, and she does it with love. Today was chicken noodle soup day. It's got great flavor and big chunks of chicken surrounded with twisty pasta. Hubby and I both had the cup of soup, he had the Cuban sandwich (and he loved it) I had a half rueben and it was GREAT! They apparently make their own saurkraut, it was fresh and delicious. They aren't a spot to go for a cheap lunch, but they are very very good. The decor is very upscale. I really enjoy this place. It's in the business park across from the Regal Movie theatre, so you have to look for it. They close at 4 pm so if you're a late lunch or early bird dinner eater, it's a great spot.

Stopped for late lunch at Mocha Rita's haven't been here in a while and was so excited to have the same awesome experience as years ago! Was greeted warmly by Lana owner and chef! She was happy to make suggestions and tweak the menu to suit our tastes! I started with a cup of chicken soup with vegetables , rice and homemade croutons. The little cup was packed with vegetables( carrots, potatoes, broccoli)and chicken and just the right amount of rice. The broth was delicious and the ingredients all fresh. The Boars head buffalo chicken with pepper jack panini was also delicious. I opted for a side of ranch for dipping since I'm not big on spicy! My husband's Roast beef with horseradish, onion , tomato and a mayo based sauce panini was also delicious. Fun place to grab a delicious homemade meal and reasonably priced. In the summer you can find their trailer at different Jax Beach locations! read more
Mocha Rita's is located in a plaza more occupied with service oriented businesses than retail establishments and other restaurants and I would assume a big part of their customer base comes from those places. The outside gave me the impression that it would be a typical deli located in an industrial complex, but when I walked inside, I was definitely impressed with the comfortable interior. The staff here were friendly, outgoing, personable and warm. They made me feel welcome coming into this establishment. I looked at their menu on Yelp, I think you should be advised that the prices on there are for half sandwiches and when you place your order, they charge you for a full sandwich. So what appeared on the surface as a good deal or at least a fair deal, pushed their sandwiches to a bit into the overpriced realm. I had a corned beef rueben and while good, I cannot call it in good conscience a rueben. It had the ingredients of a Ruben, but it wasn't finished on a flattop, which would have made it a pretty good sandwich. Instead it was warmed up corned beef, warmed up cheese (not melted) and sauerkraut on two pieces of bread. The price for four sandwiches (which came with nothing, no pickle or anything) was over fifty dollars. Definitely overpriced for something anyone could assemble at home with cold cuts and a package of bread for maybe seven dollars for all four sandwiches. While I wanted to give it four stars because of the warmth of the staff, price and the execution of the sandwiches make me ultimately give it three stars. read more

Just delicious!!! The last two places I have eaten at have been just not so good..... So going to lunch today i didn't have high expectations, I have eaten here before and it has always been good like a 4 stars good, but today it was 5 stars all the way!! There were a lot of guys working here now, where it used to be women, the guy at the counter was very friendly and helpful, he suggested a new sandwich they have which was a chicken Philly panini, chicken, sauteed onions and peppers with a spicy Pepperjack cheese....it was delicious crispy on outside and moist great flavor on inside. Next was the soup, they used to have salmon chowder that was great, now he said they bumped it up to a seafood (fish and shrimp) chowder (unfortunately they were out today) so I had to get chicken noodle which is usually kinda boring for me, but their version was great, good broth with spiral noodles and shredded chicken, along with their homemade croutons it was perfect for this freezing day! We left stuffed and so happy! read more

$10 for a little bullshit ceasar salad and a $3.50 extra charge to throw a few little pieces of chicken on it.....THIRTEEN FIFTY FOR A SALAD?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Will never ever be going there again As if this place couldn't get more ridiculous, the staff puts me on the phone with the owner, and he tried to threaten me into changing my review!!!! What kind of scam is that?!?!? Sorry that your food is overpriced and not worth the money AT ALL, your signs aren't even spelled correctly, your fountain soda machine is broken (But you still charged me for the drink), and that I won't ever be back....but calling to harass me and try to threaten me to change a review?!? That's the lowest of the low. Stay far away from this place. Not only will you spend too much money, but you also won't be able to have an opinion. A disgrace! read more

First time here although I believe they have been here a while. Staff was friendly. We cane around 11:30 and it looked like we were some of the first lunch customers. My son got the trio sandwich and a cafe mocha and enjoyed them both. I got their version of the Italian, it was okay. The decor is outstanding. I would come back although it can be an expensive lunch. read more

Tried this place for the first time today for lunch. On the plus side they have a new creamy spinach and potato soup that was good; nice balance of spinach and the potatoes were a small dice that made it easy to eat. Plus it was accompanied house-made croutons. They also had a house-made sangria with lots of delicious fruit and not too sweet. My sister said her turkey on seven grain was very good. Hard to go wrong with Boars Head oven roasted turkey. On the downside the Cuban was only fair. I have certainly had much better Cuban sandwiches. This was too light on meat and too heavy on mustard. The decor was not what we were expecting. I was expecting the typical blah diner decor with bright lights and barren walls with tacky prints. Instead it was very cozy with brick walls, dimmed lighting and nice furniture. I will definitely be back to try other things. read more
Wow. Stopped here while on business and was super impressed with this place. Small restaurant but the atmosphere is perfect and very relaxed. The guy at the counter (can't remember his name) was very friendly and steered me in the right direction for my lunch. I grabbed the jalapeño chili, which had a good kick to It and came with a generous portion of shredded cheddar cheese. The sandwich (can't remember the name of this either) was hot pressed, buffalo chicken, bacon and cheese with a side of ranch to dip in. Highly recommend this place if you're going to be in this area!! read more

Hubs and I went here today for a quick lunch. The guy working behind the counter suggested the Paninis- Hot Chick and Chicken Cheddar Melt (something like that). Name doesn't matter because THEY WERE AMAZING. The outside is crispy and everything is melted full of flavor. Comes with a side of ranch which, if you are from the Midwest like me, goes with everything. The staff was so sweet and the place was so comfortably adorable inside. I also got a turkey wrap that was good. They are a bit pricey- hence the 4 star. But I will definitely go back! read more

As I entered this place as it had a nice a little sitting area on onside (for what I'm sure) and booths on the other. The ladies at the counter were very pleasant and helpful with the daily specials. I ordered the Reuben and let me tell you it was good a little messy but delish. It had a lot of good tasting corned beef and nice homemade sauerkraut and a good dressing. Just like the sandwiches I used to get in New York. I liked it better then the ones I got from Katz's Deli and it didn't cost me 18 bucks. I do hope that this place is here for awhile and uses the sitting area for more tables. So all of you in the Southside/ Mandarin area you need to try this place and let's see if we can get more seating. I'll be there read more
How cute is this place? I stopped by to grab a sandwich and soup to go, but decided to stay and eat because I was totally diggin' the vibe and I went after the lunch-rush. The ladies working there were so friendly and cheerful. They have a lite menu (under 500 cals) so I chose 1/2 turkey sandwich w/ spicy mustard on the side and 1/2 salmon chowder (soup of the day) w/ homemade croutons. I was so full that I had to take 1/2 of my soup home. Great food all for $8.03. I was happy to hear that they are open late, so I will definitely come back for coffee and dessert. read more
