This place was packed on a Saturday afternoon so I had high hopes for the food. We parked in the neighborhood behind the restaurant but later realized it has its own parking lot in the back that we should've parked in. Most of the seating was out front at tables with umbrellas over them but there was also indoor seating. We ordered inside and were given beepers so we could go outside and look for seats while waiting. My friend and I split two sandwiches so we could try both, and this was really easy since they automatically cut each one in half Portobello sandwich: 5/5 I liked this one more than I expected. We almost didn't order it too because it wasn't included on the big menu Cubano: 4/5 I liked it but this was a bit salty for me House chips: 4/5 good but nothing crazy My friend also ordered a turketta with the sauces on the side so I tried that with the chips. It was my first time trying mostarda and I wasn't a fan. The moto spread was pretty good though read more

Love stopping at Moto Deli for coffee or a to-go sandwich for a beach visit. Great location and very loved because there are always people at the front tables eating. Great spot to catch up with friends for an outdoor and open space. read more

Cool spot! Love that it's not only a deli, but a coffee bar too. And also attatched to a bike store I believe? I have had the Turketta here before (which is delicious), today I tried the Pastrami-Ruben. The rye-bread was the star of the show because it had the perfect "CRUNCH", I believe they crisp it with butter. 10/10 crunch factor. I think next time, for my personal preference, I will do mustard in place of the thousand island (thousand island was delicious, I just don't tend to love sweet sauces, but love Rubens) so give it that extra savory-ness. Cute location and ambiance. Minimal seating inside, but super close to the beach. Great spot to grab a 'wich and go have a sunset picnic. Service was friendly! Only caveat: I had a hard time paying $20 for a sandwich- no drink or chips. I know times are challenging right now, but I still just had a tough time with that. Unless they use all natural, seed-oil free ingredients, I would be more down with that. But I am not unsure the impression that's the case- could be wrong though. read more

Moto Deli - Pastrami-Ruben - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

Great little deli and coffee bar! Had their signature Turketta, but was already looking forward to trying a few other sandwiches! Their signature turketta was excellent and so was their chicken bahn mi! If I wasn't as hungry I would've definitely tried a coffee as all the cyclists making a stop had wonderful looking drinks! As the deli is connected to a high end cycle shop, on PCH, this place is heavily visited by passing by cyclists, which made the ambiance a lot of fun as well. Highly recommend this place. Can't wait to go back! read more

We've been to Moto deli numerous times and always enjoyed the Chopped Cheese and other sandwiches. Went this weekend and the quality has definitely gone down. My meatball sub was sad. Almost no marinara. Very dry. Unfortunately, all the sandwiches were disappointing. Not sure if I'll go back again with this level of quality. read more

Moto Deli - kinda sad meatball sub. Almost no marinara - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

I haven't been to Moto Deli since their new location and my review still stands at four stars. The new location is bigger and has dedicated parking as well as street parking. The salads are BOMB! The ingredients mixed with the ranch dressing in the Cobb salad was the best I have ever had. The Turketta was disappointing as the bread was dry and the sandwich had a sweetness that I wasn't expecting. Overall good food and healthy! Service was amazing and friendly. Ambiance is hip and fun. Outdoor patio accepts dogs! read more

We stopped by for a grilled cheese that was under $10 and immediately hit the spot. Some of the other sandwiches were quite pricey like the pastrami or roast beef coming in at $17, but the menu has so many options to choose form, that I would like to come back and try more of the menu. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and I'm pretty sad about my experience here. I thought the sandwiches had good quality ingredients but weren't insanely flavorful but maybe it's just what I ordered. Could've been better with hot sauce, so I shall try that next time. The service was also a bit slow which is fine. The part that made me sad was the ambiance. I was met with such hostility by the local customers, and it was really isolating as literally the only poc at the entire place. Also we are literally young 20s girls, that was so weird and targeted to me lol read more

They serve their sandwiches made with dry, tough and chewy sourdough bread. Shocking at least. I cannot believe it.

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. I ordered a turketta and it was bland. The bread was fresh but the sandwich itself didn't have much flavor. It was decent. I loved the chips. I do like the location, the patio, the service and the fact that they have Rose. I will give them another shot and try something different. read more

It was not busy at all, Monday around 12 noon. I got the turketta sandwich, a pickle side, house chips, and a drink. My total was somewhere over $20. The sandwich was absolutely incredible, simple but a darn good sandwich. I would absolutely come back. read more

Ordered pick up for Moto Deli and I feel like if you ride a motorcycle, scooter, bike, or are any type of cyclist; you are obligated to visit Moto Deli. It is very popular with that crowd and I can understand why. Really good sandwiches and has a hipster vibe that makes it feel cool to hang out and eat there. The location is also perfect. I ordered the BLT with avocado and couldn't complain. Ingredients tasted fresh, was stacked, and I was satisfied. I might need to start riding my bike again... read more

I've never eaten a sandwich that was so dry in my life. The bread was so hard funny if you read the other reviews, there's many that say the same thing about the bread but Moto deli's answer to that was if you don't want dry bread, you need to come early in the dayare you kidding read more

You know that feeling when you get tired of SUBWAY and Jersey Mike's and all the other chains that have sandwiches? Well that was me yesterday I could not look at another jersey Mike's sub, so I went to my small go to epic sandwich spot. Moto, deli! Plenty of parking, a staff that gets it great folks in the kitchen... And then the sandwich comes out! And you realize that this is not just a franchise, it's a real restaurant. I think the pictures speak for themselves, but if you are ever down in North County, this is a must visit. read more

Who doesn't love a killer Sammie?! If you are looking for the best around, then Moto Deli is a MUST! Located right off Highway 101 in Encinitas, it is in the perfect location to sit on the patio and grab lunch or scoop it up to-go and hit the beach. The team is always friendly, provides service with a smile and is there to share recommendations when everything sounds good and you just can't decide. It's a smaller menu but you will find something for everyone - Hot and cold Sammie's, Salads and Side Dishes. Start with a drink - Local Beers are always on tap along with a selection of Wine, Hard Kombucha as well as plenty of Non-Alcoholic drink options. Next up, order at the counter and you'll receive a buzzer to let you know when your meal is ready. I have way too many favorites on the menu so I'll give you my top recs: Egg Salad {a housemade Egg Salad with Gherkins, Lettuce and Tomato served on Squaw Bread} / Caprese {Mozzarella, Tomato, Fresh Basil, Arugula, Red Onion and Balsamic served on a French Roll} / The Italian - My absolute Favorite {Hard Salami, Genoa Salami, Capicola, Provolone, Lettuce, Tomato and Onion on a French Roll}. You can opt for a side of Mac Salad, Curried Sweet Potato Salad or a Super Food Salad but the way to go is a simple Pickle Spear {or 2}! No matter what you decide on, your mouth will be watering and you will be craving these sandwiches for days on end. You will quickly become obsessed and thank me later! read more

Change is not always good for the food business and this is proven to be true for the new management at Moto Deli. Chef Andy recently sold his interest in the business and moved back to the East Coast. The Chef and the manager of Valentina are now the principal operators and have made changes to the menu that are not positive. The Italian sandwich is now the 'Spicy Italian' with jardiniere, and Sun Dried Tomatoes, and unfortunately less meat that is not as flavorful as before. The Pastrami sandwich is no longer on the menu, and this is not a loss as it no longer resembled the brined and pickled flavor of Pastrami. The Banh Mi sandwich has lost its authentic flavor due to changes in the preparation and products previously used. Even though Moto Deli was extremely busy during our visit, I am interested in knowing if it was based on past customer experiences, and if the menu changes will be accepted by the public. read more

Went here yesterday, wanted to order the Reuben but they didn't have it, ordered the tuna and the kids turkey. They forgot the mayo on the kids turkey so it was just turkey and cheese but the main problem was the bread was so dry and chewy that my 5 year old couldn't take a bite I even struggled to get a bite. The tuna on my sandwhich was very good but the bread was dry and I paid to add avocado and got a little piece of brown avocado. It's too bad because the tuna salad was so good but not sure I would go back. read more

Great sandwich and good coffee! What could go wrong? It was my first time trying this place. The Reuben was really quite good and was plenty of food for me. Our server was really sweet too. read more

Get the Mac salad !! We loved this place . I had the bahn mi and it was perfect crispy bread ,fresh veg and tender chicken . My partner had the turkey pesto and loved it .. but the mac salad stole the show . I was 10 again at my grandmas Sunday dinner excellent service and positive vibe .. we will be back for sure :) 11/28 well we drove all the way back to this gem just for the Mac salad and it was totally different than the first time . It had so much oregano that is looked like pesto anyway I'm going to give it another try next time when we are in the area just to see if it was a one off .Regardless our sandwiches again were great , I had the Chopped Cheese and my partner had the Cubano . read more

Great sandwich spot with a cute coffee shop connected. Delicious sandwiches and lots of outdoor seating!

Every time I visit my friend from north county we make a stop here! This last time we got the Turketta and Italian and both were great, though the Turketta was my favorite. The combination of the smokiness of the meats with the creaminess of avocado and sweetness of the moto spread is perfect! Giving this place a 4/5 because of the wait and because I feel like the sandwiches are on the small side for the price. read more

This was my second time at Moto Deli & wow, never disappoints. I've tried 2 of the cold sandwiches & 3 of the hot options - all delicious! Located on a nice little stretch of highway close to the beach w a small section of indoor seating & a large section of outdoor seating, Moto Deli doesn't disappoint. If you're in the mood to try good sandwiches, at a reasonable price - come here! Some of the best in San Diego county. There is beer on tap & sodas with a cute coffee shop & bike shop connected next door. Service is great offering great suggestions. read more

To get a sandwich from a locally owned restaurant in North County and it be under $20 is rare. But moto deli delivers quality sandwiches at a reasonable (tho I wouldn't call it cheap) price. I loved that you could grab a coffee or browse the nearby bike shop while waiting for your sandwich. Service was great and the wait time was told to you and was accurate. This is the perfect place to sit outside on a sunny day and grab a beer and sandwich with friends!!! Will be coming back and maybe will be biking there next time! PS. Reese's cookie was fabulous read more

I first tried Moto Deli about a week ago, and I've already been back--twice! It's quickly become my go-to sandwich spot in the area. I always get the Italian Sub with pepperoncinis, and it hits the spot every time. Super flavorful, fresh ingredients, and great service. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for a seriously good sandwich. read more

In my opinion it's hard to find a good sandwich along the coast. I adore the chicken bahn mi. You can order online to go as sometimes the wait can be over 45 min if you hit the place around bikers stopping in for a beer and bite. Parking is along the street and is ample. read more

Came here after a run and it was exactly what I was looking for- a meatball sub ($13)! Your order at the counter and your buzzer rings (waited about 10-15 minutes for the sandwich). One of the best meatball subs I've had. I appreciate they had whole meatballs rather than mincing them in the sandwich. So flavorful and the bread had a good crunch. My friend got their chips which seem homemade and were also very good. Will definitely be back! read more

Amazing Italian sandwich with the option for gluten free bread! Stacked with lots of meat, this sandwich is tasty is filling. A great outdoor area to sit and enjoy the sunshine and lots of beers to choose from if you're looking to have a drink. Would love to see some fries on the menu, but other than that this place is a great spot! read more

Great place. Right next to cadence cyclery. We ride our bikes down from Murrieta, and always stop here for lunch. It's great because they have places where you can put your bikes and see them, but also a parking lot and on street parking so that if you have a car and put your bike on the back of a car, you can see your car easily. Great food, amazing fries, outdoor seating for the most part, a few boots on the inside, but it's all open air. You order, they give you a buzzer and when your food's ready, you get alerted to go pick your food up. They also have a coffee place right next-door, and then of course there's cadence. We always stop here for lunch when in the area read more

I had such high hopes for this place and was so disappointed. If you have celiac do not go here!!! I can go almost anywhere and find something I can eat I do not expect businesses to cater to my allergies. With that said I won't ever go here again. When we went to order I asked if I could have the sandwich without the bread all the fixings were fine. I was told the chef doesn't do exceptions so I explained I'm not modifying his food I just can't have the bread I have celiac. She said it doesn't matter the chef doesn't like to modify but she would ask and I could tell she was so worried about asking. REALLY that is crazy So she came back out and said he would do it, like he's doing me a favor?? I should have known at that point to leave. We didn't. So we ordered two sandwich's and a side salad with two drinks. It's one person up front so the drinks took awhile... We were waiting and waiting for food.. People came in after us and got their food before us. I thought maybe they had called it in but it got to be ridiculous so I went in and asked, I was told if the buzzer we gave you isn't vibrating it isn't ready. OK then... Finally our food is ready and it was a joke. My husbands sandwich was packed with meat.. I was given a little bit of meat in a container with a tiny bit of onions and fixings in another container. It was PATHETIC! All because I asked for no bread. The kale salad was the best thing. My hobbies sandwich he said was pretty good as well. I won't ever go back. There are so many other options where they understand CELIAC isn't a choice and to punish me for having it by giving me a 3rd of the portion when I paid the same price is ridiculous. You can see the container my food was in and the size of it, in a photo I posted. Seriously worse experience. read more
