I loved the atmosphere here. It is very calm and welcoming. The sandwich I got was very tasty and all of the ingredients were fresh!!

Super big portions one sandwich feeds 2, and very savory as well. The jalapeño bread is 10/10

i come here all the time and i love their sandwiches and cookies! best i've ever had and they're so friendly.

This is one of my favorite sandwich places. There's a small parking lot in front where you can get your parking ticket validated. There are kiosks to order and the food came quickly. Sandwiches are very big and I usually split w my sister. Limited indoor seating but there's patio seating outside. Chill vibes :) Rich Boy: 5/5 my go to sandwich order read more

Rubicon Deli - Rich Boy - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

Had a few of the sandwiches here and they are good and quite large! I like how each sandwich comes with a little cookie wrapped in the paper. For me, the sandwiches have too much flavor, meaning there's so much going on with each ingredient. I like how flavorful it is, but I prefer simpler sandwiches. I can't seem to eat a half sandwich in one sitting because it's a little salty and too rich? The meat is well seasoned and the bread is fluffy and fresh. I would recommend trying this place, and share with a friend. read more

The sandwich was good. The chips were great. The cookies are some of the best cookies I've had from a sandwich place maybe ever!... BUT Have mercy. Just over $20 for a whole sandwich?! It's like they first decided on a price point, then realized that nobody was going to buy it, so they said, "why don't we just make the sandwich incredibly large to try and justify the price?". Which I guess makes up for it but at the same time you find yourself sick to your stomach by the time you're done because it's so much food and it becomes no longer worth it. But maybe I'm just too broke to truly understand the fine dining expirence . Maybe I should ask yelp for a raise. read more

Rubicon Deli - SAMMY BOIIIIIII - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

I finally tried the legendary rubicon deli and I wasn't disappointed. For years I've been hearing and seeing rave reviews. Several friends and I went after going to the temporary open house at the Mormon temple. We pulled into the lot and the gates were open on both sides. There were a few parking spaces left. It felt like our lucky day. We all looked at the menu at the walk up counter. Some of us ordered via kiosk and some with a person. I used the kiosk which was pretty easy. We sat at a table outside and waited to be called. I went to get my cup for my drink since it was a warm day and I was quite thirsty. They were busy but our orders were ready in a reasonable time. I got the Reuben and it was really good. Every one of us enjoyed what we got and agreed that Rubicon deserves its reputation. We did have trouble getting out of the lot and guard was incredibly rude, accusing us of being there for hours instead of the time it took us to order and eat. She was quite nasty but that is a review for ACE not Rubicon. read more

I thought I had been to nearly every sandwich shop in San Diego County but obviously, I had not yet crossed the Rubicon. The sandwiches here are excellent. Yes, they are huge. Yes, a half size is plenty for a meal (although the regular size is the better deal). I can eat as much as a horse and the half size was plenty, trust me. But if you want to get the large and save the other half for another day, that is the smarter financial decision. The Achin' 4 Bacon was more turkey than bacon but the bacon was delicious. I am not a big turkey sandwich guy normally but you get a lot of fresh turkey and the bacon was fresh and very crisp. Another turkey sandwich, the Rubicon Special, was even better. This one comes with turkey and a red pepper tapenade that was very good. My favorite sandwich was the Hog's Breath which comes with ham and bacon and an excellent sweet/hot mustard. We got all three on Dutch Crunch bread, which, in my opinion, is one of the greatest of all breads. We also received a complimentary little fresh-baked and delicious cookie with each sandwich. These are great sandwiches and you will not complain about the portion sizes. Highly recommended. read more

My friend took me here after we worked out because she said it was a filling spot yet didn't make you feel heavy and she was correct! I got the half portion of the hot mess, and thought that was the perfect portion for me :) It was soo yummy! I really liked the crispy onions and arugula with mushroom. The bread was also soo crispy yumm! I would prob opt for an option with protein next time tho. It came with a small chocolate chip cookie which was like the perfect sized sweet treat post meal. They have a couple tables inside for dine in! read more

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM SLAP YA MOMMA!! This was an incredible sandwich. Hands down, got it for lunch at work and this blew my socks off. The menu is funny, sandwiches for everyone, and tastes fantastic! I got a rich boy and it had Smokey chicken and the flavors were poppin, got it on Dutch crunch which was my favorite Dutch crunch I've had, not too crispy that it shreds the top of your mouth! The order came and I was disappointed that we got the half sandwiches but let me tell you it will fill you UP! I'm a big guy and the half was plenty. They also sneak in a cookie that's so simple and such a good touch! I need one of these in Orange County! 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

It was one of those afternoon where we were craving sandwich and my partner found this gem located in La Jolla. Parking can be validated. Thanks to Liz who took the initiative to ask if we needed our parking to be validated. That's great customer service right there. Unlike any other places where they already see you holding parking ticket but they do not take the extra step to ask. In addition, she offered assistance if we needed any recommendations since it's our first time. She recommended super Mario which did not disappoint. We went for Dutch crunch bread and glad we did. It gave that extra texture and pizzazz on the sandwich! Plus, they have restrooms located outside! The place is very quaint. Nice to chill while having a bite. We will definitely be back soon :) 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

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

Rubicon Deli - Front: Rich Boy Back: Super Mario - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

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

Don't let the photos fool you! I got the rich boy sandwich with Dutch crunch . The Chipotle chicken was tasteless , feels like I'm eating shredded air . The sandwich was dry and had no flavor . We went to ask for extra sauce and the lady gave us a tiniest dollop of sauce in the container . It doesn't even drip down to our sandwich when we tilted it. We had to use our fingers No idea if we got the wrong sandwich or just came here on a bad day . Definitely would not come back again . read more

Delicious! Went with a group of friends and it was awesome. I ordered a half sandwich ( buffalo turkey) they have a choice of 6 breads. I got garlic parmesaun. I added in chips and a drink. You use a computer to order your items. It was a bit difficult as there was no description of the sandwich. So you have to look at the physical menu on the wall, or the laminated one. Or try to get the attention of staff to ask. The 1/2 sandwich was huge and had lots of fillings. Had a little heat from the sauce, and a bit messy but delicious. I should have stopped at the first half but it was so good. The bread was nice and crusty but soft inside. The wavy chips tasted housemate and had a little bit of seasoning salt. Tucked into the sandwich wrapper was a little chocolate chip cookie, which was a sweet surprise. Everything was delicious. When in the area would definetly go back. My friends enjoyed their sandwiches and salad. Oh FYI its a paid parking lot. The gate was open when we went in. Then closed when we left and we could not get out as we had no ticket. We were in the place less then an hour. I did notice there was a validation machine inside. But we had nothing to validate..it took almost 10 minutes to exit the lot. So park in the street or see if the ticket machine works. read more

Rubicon Deli - Build your own sandwich: turkey,lettuce,tomato, Gouda cheese,pickles, avocado, and cucumber on garlic cheese bread heated - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

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

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

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

I ordered a full Crandie sandwich from Rubicon Deli in La Jolla on August 16, 2026, around 1:00 PM. After waiting about seven minutes, I received my order, but when I got to the car I realized that I had only been given half of the sandwich. I went back inside the lady that handed me the sandwich was in the kitchen eating... but they made the other half for me. I ate the first half that day and saved the second half for lunch the following day. On August 17, when I opened the remaining half, I discovered a metal hexagonal piece/hardware component embedded in the middle of my sandwich. I have photos of the object and the sandwich. This is extremely concerning from a food safety standpoint. I could have easily bitten down on or swallowed this metal object, potentially causing serious injury. I hope the restaurant takes this seriously and investigates how a piece of metal hardware ended up inside prepared food. This was not just a mistake with an order, it was a serious food safety concern. read more
