3 tri tip tacos and fries
Mario B.

Tried Roundhouse Deli for lunch. I popped in during lunch on a random Monday afternoon at their Alhambra location. Small dining room with grill going out front that smelled delish. I took a recommendation from the person taking order and asked for the 3 tri tip tacos and fries. The tacos came out loaded with cheese. The meat quantity I would say was average. They weren't bad, but they weren't great either. I wouldn't get them again. I should have trusted my instincts and went with a burrito. Fries were fresh. Crispy and thick. If I return. I'm trying a sandwich or burrito. I'd give it a 3.7 out of 5.

Roundhouse Deli has been on my list for a long time, but being as they close at 3pm, I could never find the time to visit. While in the area on Saturday, we were finally able to stop in after my daughter's jiu jitsu class. Roundhouse Deli is located on Alhambra Blvd and only offers street parking since it is Midtown. The inside was spacious with plenty of seating, they also offered tables outside as well. We were greeted when we walked in and ordered at the counter. We ordered the Tri Tip Tacos, Jeremy Burrito and a Sausage Breakfast Burrito with no potatoes. I loved everything we ordered - the tacos were smokey and flavorful and both burritos were huge and simple yet still tasted great - even without salsa or hot sauce, but they do offer red and green salsas. Both were great and spicy! They also offer canned and bottled drinks. We went with a bottled Topo Chico, a canned Coke and a bottled Orange Juice. Overall, I was really impressed with Roundhouse Deli. We were kicking ourselves for not visiting sooner, but being as it is around the corner from my daughter's class, I can see this becoming our new Saturday lunch routine! There were so many other items on the menu that I can't wait to try - like the Rueben and Cheesesteak sandwiches! My mouth is drooling just thinking about those tacos! Can't wait to come back! Check them out!

Tri tip breakfast burrito & bbq smokey sauce in package. Hot off the grill
Bonnie C.

If you're hungry at breakfast & anywhere near the deli-- the tri tip breakfast burrito is to die for!!! They package their own smokey hot sauce. Half was good for me, but Im a slight eater. We got it to go & it was hot.. just as it should be. They cook it fresh

Tri tip sandwich

I come here like once every other week when running errands nearby and it's worth it every time. I've gotten the tri tip breakfast burrito as well as their sandwich. Both really good and fresh. Staff are really nice. It's a chill spot and the smoker is always going. Good vibes all around.

Fish tacos (limited time) and tri tip tacos
Elizabeth D.

We've been wanting to try their famous tri-tip tacos and had a chance to stop by around lunchtime on a weekday. They had fish tacos for a limited time, so we got one order of fish tacos and one of the tri-tip and shared. It was all delicious, especially with their hot sauces/salsas. Service was super friendly and kind. We let them know that it was our first time, and they gave us a free cookie for our little girl. They seem to have regular and thankful customers. We left smelling like smoke from the smoker out front, so just be aware if you need to go somewhere afterward smelling good! Overall, it's a great addition to the neighborhood, and we're looking forward to trying other items, like the sandwiches.

Potato Salad
Tommy P.

Drove by this place constantly on the way to drop off my girlfriend at work, and I swear that smoker runs 24/7! It must be nice to live in an area where you wake up to the smell of smoked meat on the daily! I chose to stop by after clearing some time in my schedule for a quick, early lunch, and boy it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in a long minute! The staff are extremely cordial and felt like a nice slice of East Coast hospitality. Kindness without all the fluff, a staple of a great sandwich shop. The interior is plainly set up with some occasional tandem benches set up along the wall, giving a bit of a more casual setting. I haven't come here late enough to see a major rush, but I can imagine it gets busy. I ordered the Tri-tip combo with a potato salad. The total came to a little under $17. It's a bit more expensive compared to the chains that have daily deals/combos, but for the quality that they provided, I would have paid a much greater sum. The sandwich came out quickly, and they walked my to-go order over to me, which was an appreciated gesture, seeing that I was across the store. Reiterating that customer service is not often a criterion that adds to my score (unless it's a restaurant that is renowned for it), but I always want to provide recognition where it is deserved. The tri-tip was beautifully and perfectly smoked, resulting in tender and delectable slices of meat that paired perfectly with their BBQ sauce and mayo. I was going to save it for when I arrived at a nearby cafe, but it smelled too damn good not to eat in the car at that very moment. The fixings of lettuce, onion, and tomato were fresh and helped provide a contrast of crunch to the sandwich. Absolutely devoured, would get again, but I need to try everything else on their menu for the sake of exploration. 9/10. I was also pleasantly surprised by the potato salad. It had a strong edge of acidity, which paired wonderfully with the beefiness of the sandwich. I believe that the bell peppers also gave a nice savoriness, but I didn't get a chance to fully analyze the flavors before I snarfed it down. Oh well, that just means I have to come back again at some point and write another review. Not saying that I have a problem with that at all haha! 8.5/10.

Daily Specials
Melissa G.

Roundhouse Deli is one of East Sac's best kept hidden gems! I passed Roundhouse Deli while running errands and circled back because of the smell alone. Their smoker is out front and you can smell the smoked meat from down the street. It's truly mouthwatering! I stopped by for lunch and saw they have daily specials. I decided to order the Cheesesteak Combo, which comes with a choice of side and fountain drink. Service is at the counter, and we ordered to-go, even though I'd like to come back and sit at one of their picnic tables next time. The Cheesesteak is one of the best I've ever had! The cheese pull was awesome and I liked the smokey flavor of the meat. Surprisingly, it was a very neat sandwich, not messy, and filling. I ate half and saved the other half for lunch the next day. I'll definitely be coming back!

The Mark Burger
Jay S.

Roundhouse Deli delivered great service today. Everything came out very fast. I ordered the special, the Mark Burger Combo, and it absolutely surprised me. I don't remember it ever being that juicy before, but today it was a work of art. The cheese was perfectly melted and every part of the burger was on point. I would definitely order it again. I'd give the Mark Burger an 8.5 out of 10 and the fries a 6 out of 10. The fries were fresh and salted, but they were pretty basic and didn't really wow me. The Mark Burger, though, was delicious and I highly recommend it.

Tri Tip Tacos
Patrick R.

I was hesitant at first to get the tri-tip tacos as it just looks like a cheese fest but omg I was wrong. These tacos were DELICIOUS. The tri-tip smoke flavor is a 10/10. I now need to come back for a breakfast burrito as I heard they were amazing.

Ida J.

Delicious, flavorful, and very addicting! When I stumbled upon this gem I fell in love! My first time and my go to is tri tip tacos....yessssssss you didn't know you needed tri tip tacos until you've had them! Smokey thinly sliced tri tip with lettuce, cheese all in a Parmesan dusted corn tortillas and boom amazing combo. They have daily specials and the sandwiches are pretty good too. I've only had the train wreck (pastrami and tri tip) so I can't attest to them all. The bread is fresh and they use quality ingredients. If you're hungry for breakfast they got you covered! The Sabe (breakfast tacos) are bomb! Super friendly staff and they are clean! Go check them out Mon-Fri bc they are closed in the weekends at the Alhambra location. A great spot for breakfast or lunch!

This place has the BEST MEXICAN FOOD I'VE EVER EATEN!…read more I don't want to leave such a great review because I can tell it's getting more and more and not customers as the word spreads! Then I'm afraid the process will go up and there will be long lines!! Haha!! I want this place ALL TO MYSELF!! The salsa bar is always clean and filled! They have staff monitoring it during rush hours to insure everything stays topped off. The grilled onions and jalapeños are delicious and the salsas.... I'd go just for that salsa bar!! Their Micheladas (I order with light Modelo) are rimmed with the sweet Mexican tajin (I think it's called)...orange slice, cucumber, and 2 prawns! But the star is the Quesabirria, the consommé! Oh dear god have mercy. I can't eat large volumes and this is the only place that will let me order one. The consomne has been cooked and simmered forever and it's always got good chunks of super tender pulled beef. I can go on but, like I said, I want this place all to myself!! Even my son and his gf come up from SF to order the burritos, which they say are the BEST they've ever had! So happy to see such a GREAT RESTAURANT on NORTHGATE and JUST a couple miles from my home!! Yaaaay!!! Every Friday is MY day to treat myself to this EXCELLENT MEXICAN FOOD TAQUERIA!! I want to try EVERYTHING on the menu!! Especially the soups and the seafood dishes!! Mui Bueno!!! Gracias!!!!!!

$3 tacos $15 loaded baked potatoes. Service is friendly and I try to speak to them in broken…read moreSpanish. Sometimes the lady who does the payment is grumpy sometimes the lady is friendly. Lots of different salsas and toppings to try. I think the drinks are $7-10. I love this place. I have to drive almost an hour to get here but I try to time it out right if I'm in the area as they open at 6pm though they were serving people earlier one time so maybe they're flexible. The seasoning on both the asada and the pork with pineapple is amazing. They have the pork on the spinning thing so it's super juicy. The asada has a flat grill char. It's just so tasty. I tried the baked potatoes for the first time at this location and it was a little bland but they add packets of salt. I got home and added things to my liking and it's one of my favorite meals. I get it with carne asada. It can feed multiple people/ servings. The pina was delicious but I imagine it may get watered down throughout the night. Street parking only as they're on the corner of a Main Street.

The tacos tasted great, but I left feeling confused about the pricing. The posted price for pastor…read moretacos was $3 each. I ordered 4 tacos and one large drink, paid with a $20 bill, and received only $1 back. No receipt was provided and no explanation of the charges was given. Good food is important, but so is trust. Customers should receive a clear total and a receipt when paying. Unfortunately, that was not my experience.
