Great lunch spot with a freshly baked bread! Some creative recipes and a fresh ingredients :) bonus point for a free cookie in every order!

Great food! Great customer service my favorite amazing time sandwiches are great defiantly will be back

This place has great service and big portions! The sandwiches were excellent overall! In a good spot too! easy to get to!

Rubicon Deli may be th best sandwich place I have ever been too. I've tried over 4 sandwiches now and every single one of them are nothing short of phenomenal. Delicious in every single way. Whether cold or hot, each sandwich is crafted excellently with an enormous amount of customization available for choice. I would highly reccomend the garlic bread choice (you can choose your own bread) and try the dipper dapper, which is my personal favorite (although those looking for more vegetables should steer clear, there are many other excellent sandwiches they offer with veggies). Also they give you a free cookie with every purchase! The food arrives very quickly, and the staff are nice and responsive. But it's not a sit down restaurant, so don't expect people to be filling your water or anything. Ambience, I'd argue, doesn't really matter, but yelp says I have to include it. It's clean, but kind of noisy with all the workers, other people, and the machinery. Unfortunately you have to stay inside so you can hear your name be called for the order. But this is the ONLY bad thing, and I'd argue it's so small that it doesn't detract enough to get a 4 star instead of 5. This is my new favorite sandwich place, and you had better believe I'm coming here every single weekend for a long time.. read more

The quality was good. I tried the dapper Dipper on the Dutch crunch bread. The au hus dipping sauce and everything was great. The mushroom brie bisque was short on salt flavor. I assume they are made for customers who wants less salt in their diet, and other customers to put salt manually to adjust for their individual preferences. Only thing for me was, $20 for a sandwich. I never paid $20 for a sandwich before. I am glad I am in 40's and not living pay check to paycheck, cuz I would not purchase this if my income was what they were in my 30's. read more

Our company ordered here for a corporate meeting with our Chief. The orders were all decent but the portions that we received were very scant compared to what we normally get. We still enjoyed the food. The order consisted of about 9 sandwiches, 3 salads, and a couple of drink items. Overall, the food was satisfying and tasted good; just that the portions were not as full as normal. I will visit in person to order from now on. I also recommended this to our group. read more

Wow. What amazing sandwiches! My friend and I are vegetarian so we ordered the hot mess and whale's veg in the pesto bread and tried both. A half sandwich is more than enough for one person though! The full must be for a family. Each sandwich came with a cookie wrapped inside too. The whales veg is a typical veg cold sandwich with sprouts and avocados wheras the hot mess as the name suggests is a hot sandwich with mushrooms, delicious tempura onions, and (in our opinion) too many sun dried tomatoes. The sandwiches were creative, filling, and delicious. read more

WOW this was so good! Huge portions and great flavor. I definitely would've been fine with a half but now I just have leftovers for later. The chips are homemade and crispy. Glad I finally stopped by to try this place, it is worth the hype. I love the diff types of bread & mayo options they have. I will definitely be back to try the bacon potato salad! read more

Such amazing sandwiches, quick service, small and clean inside and outside eating areas. Definitely one of my fav San Diego deli spots. A little on the expensive side (around 14 for a half), but the portions were big! The female servers that served me were super sweet and I can tell they foster a community here. Half of Rich Boy: super flavorful and the chipotle chicken tied well with the spicy sauce. It also wasn't too spicy which I enjoyed. I'll definitely back read more

The skirt steak salad FAR exceeded any of my expectations for a "Quick stop" lunch. I found exceptionally fresh ingredients that complemented every delicious bite. The steak was sliced and came fresh off the grill. Unexpected culinary grade food found in a strip mall...who knew??! Loved every bite! David my server was efficient, pleasant and DELIGHTFUL. Thank you David! read more

This Rubicon location can get very busy especially at lunch time. Getting in and out can also be very tricky. But when you're craving that sandwich, there's no choice but to brave it! So many yummy sandwiches! My absolute fav is the Dapper Dipper on Dutch crunch bread. Just love the au jus dip! Others that are just as yummy are Dom Pastram, Giddy up (toasted). Hubs enjoys the Dapper as well, but also the Super Mario. Adding the Tomato Basil bisque is an absolute must! It's got a tiny kick, but completely manageable (not a spicy loving person). I wish they had a large size of the soup that's how much I enjoy the soup! You get a tiny cookie with your sandwich which is just enough most of the time, but when you want more cookies, just get the dozen, you won't regret it! :) There's a covered patio if you want to dine in. They have Stubborn soda drink machine, the Root beer is my fav. The only horrible thing about this location is the crazy lunch rush and the parking. There's a kiosk to order to make things a bit faster. Thankfully the employees are cranking out sandwiches like crazy. There's a parking validation machine at the kiosks so don't forget! 2025: 25 read more

I have now been able to try more items from their menu and overall, I think it's a pretty decent place. I enjoy their Superfood Salad with chicken a lot, but it gets gross if you don't eat it right away. Their Bacon Potato Salad is a hit or miss, but their chips are amazing! The most interesting thing I've had from here is I got my BYO turkey, provolone, avocado sammich as a lettuce wrap. Why in gawd's name did it come stuffed into a whole thing of lettuce‽ The stalk was even still there! Insane of them to do this and it was really hard to eat. The flavors were good though. read more

we came here back to back because of how delishhh the sandwiches are, def the best sandwiches I've had. the toasted rich boy with garlic & cheese bread was amazing & so was the cold spicy tuna with garlic and cheese. they have a variety of toasted and cold sandwiches on their menu & canned sodas. the staff was very friendly and quick to give recommendations. a bonus that they sneak cookies into your to-go orders :) parking is a bit tricky but you're safe if you come bright and early & bring a few coins for the meters or if you don't mind parking up the hill and walking. i wasn't initially a sandwich gal but this place has me hooked! read more

Rubicon Deli - spicy tuna w garlic cheese bread - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

10/10 would recommend! Sandwich was well made, structured, each component shined in itself.

We went to Rubicon Deli based off of its' location and others Yelp reviews. We both got a half a sandwich each and it was enough to fill us both up. The sandwiches we're good, but not necessarily great. The sandwich consists of about 80% bread and 20% of the inner items (meat, lettuce, etc.). We were expecting fresh bread options but were disappointed. You will pay a higher price - we left with only two half sandwiches and a $30+ bill. For that cost I would expect "great," not "okay." read more

Amazing sandwich! I got the Crandie on jalapeño jack bread. I highly recommend. Cute sandwich spot. Will be back.

SO. FIRE. The Crandie is literally one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It was also gigantic. Didn't get to sit and enjoy there since we got takeout, but they were super fast. A La Jolla staple for sure. read more

With a hungry stomach growling at me I remembered rubicon was close by so I quickly ordered a lunch box samie which included half of a Hot Mess, 4 chocolate chip cookies and a bag of chips. I also wanted some extra protein so I added skirt steak to the sandwich for an additional $4. In total I spent $22.29 not including the tip. The lunch box option is a bonus because I would typically add all of that anyways and it's always moe expensive. I love that on Yelp you can order and know exactly when to pick it up while directions appear on my screen. Ohh the luxurious life of technology! The location is always clean and I love the abundance with seating inside and outside. No matter if you want to bathe in the warm sunshine or enjoy it in the shade they have you covered with the option of open red umbrellas on the patio. The only downside to this location is the parking is a secure paid lot at $1.50 every 20 minutes. I do however love that Starbucks is in the same area so you can get your caffeine jolt while satisfying the hungry beast within. The sandwich was excellent especially with the added skirt steak which I have never done. Topping off my sandwich with jalapeño chips inside if you know you know. I can never go wrong with their salads or sandwiches. So enjoy! read more

Amazing sandwiches, the best Dutch crunch in San Diego! Get the dapper dipper, you won't regret it

The spicy Italian sandwich is a hit every single time. This normally isn't even my go to type of sandwich, but I tried a bite of a friend's once and there's no going back. The Dutch crunch bread is crunchy and delicious, the flavors all combine to make what is in my top 3 fave San Diego sandwiches. Definitely the biggest! read more

Great sandwiches! We had them delivered and then liked them so much - that we decided to stop by at the place on another day. It's in a weird business park kind of near UTC mall. You have to park in a lot and they validate your parking for you inside. You can order on the screens or they are happy to take your order. Again, the sandwiches are good. They have a patio where you can enjoy your food. I think we will have it delivered next time. read more

In town looking for a quick lunch. Our son recommended this place as we were staying at the nearby Marriot. Were told to order their small as it was large enough. It definitely was. Sandwiches were very good and especially liked the bread. Will be back next time we visit. read more

Oh WOW! I had the Hot Mess sandwich for the first time yesterday. Loved every sophisticated, thick bite. Although it's a real shame prices have gotten out of control (and only headed skyward) & tips expected for self-service, I enjoyed my half-order (as big as a whole!) immensely. read more

I ordered the half-size Super Mario on Dutch crunch and it came out to $14 total. The bread absolutely lived up to its name, crunchy crunchy crunchy, but still had a soft interior that cradled the meat well. Every bite had a nice crisp that was a satisfying texture with the fillings. The flavors were well-balanced and felt intentional. The turkey and prosciutto were high quality, and the mix of turkey subtle smokiness and fatty saltiness worked really great with the pesto mayo. The mayo kept everything from feeling too dry and the arugula added a fresh green that cut through the richness. The balsamic glaze was a nice sweet touch for the sandwich. For $14, the portion size is on the smaller side, but the quality of ingredients and execution make up for it. The ordering system is a kiosk with tons of customization options, which is a plus. It took about 15 minutes to get my sandwich during a busy lunch rush. That Dutch crunch bread was so so so good. I'd come back just to try more sandwich combinations with it. read more

Sandwiches are always phenomenal, so are the cookies. We've been coming here for years. I'm glad to see them still killing it

Found this hidden gem thanks to TikTok. The sandwiches are delightful. I ordered the half dapper dipper on blue cheese bread. If you like au jus Sammies and blue cheese... you'll love this one. Trust me. The bread was thin and the crispy onions were crunchy. I normally don't finish my sandwiches, but I couldn't help myself from inhaling this thing. My husband got the rich boy on Dutch crunch. It did not disappoint. He wished the bread wasn't so crispy, next time we'll request a light toast. The house chips are soo good. The seasoning on it is phenomenal. The thickness of the chips are chefs kiss. One of the downsides of this location is the parking. It's not free as it's in a gated plaza along with other shops. There's also limited seating inside and outdoor seating. Will definitely be back to try other items from the menu. read more

Huge sandwiches. Full sandwiches will definitely have leftovers. Dutch crunch bread is the way to go. Excellent flavors. Hogs Breath with applewood smoked ham, thick-cut bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, onion, honey hot + sweet mustard, chipotle mayo was fantastic. Superfood Salad with charred shiitake, avocado, fresh blueberries, walnuts, hemp seeds, kale chips, spring greens, wild arugula, goddess dressing with omega 3 rich flax oil was one of the best salads I've ever had. Flavors were perfectly balanced. read more

Apart from YELP begin slow in the order updates everything else was great. I've tried this place twice now It close to my work Both times the sandwiches were delicious The chips are bomb too Price is good Can be a bit busy during lunch hours and it next to UCSD But they have the option to order online and pick up or deliver Love that they also put cookies in the bag read more

So yummy I will be coming back!! I love it here and the workers are so sweet. Awesome customer Service!!

Happened to be in the area and decided to come here for lunch. Paid parking lots. You can get your tickets validated inside. There was seating inside and outside. Ordered through a kiosk. Food came fast. Service was good. Got the half dapper dipper with a side of tomato soup. It was good but the bread for the sandwich was chewy. I did not like that. Soup was tasty. I saw a lot of sandwiches I wanted to try. read more

Food is seriously tasty and gigantic. Great deal of options, high customizability and friendly service! I have only had good experience here

Placed an order online for me and my best friend. Picked it up at the store and they were very friendly and handed me the order . There was only one other customer so very quiet inside . Didn't think the hot and sweet mustard be too spicy but it was for her. I order half hog's breath one with no chipotle mayo and instead regular mayo cuz my best friend can't handle spicy . The sandwich was really tasty and I will come back again but no more hot and sweet mustard. read more

The food is delicious here!! It's a bit pricey but sooo worth it! They make up for it by the sizes of their sandwich's, which are huge. I definitely recommend this place it's so easy to order and the workers are quick and kind. Definitely coming back. read more
