    This Lauren .

    I have gone here. Few time since I'm now living in the area .their food is subpar at best ! However it was there so decided to give it another shot. I order my normal sub and asked for theories amount of avocado the employee making my sub had no problem adding the correct amount ! Didn't ask for extra but 3 (1/2 ) slices or brown avocado isn't the full portion she had no problem fixing the issue this is the young lady on the right ! Lauren then came taking the. Avocado off my sandwich and stated this is the portion you are getting ! I walked out I'm sure she ate the sandwich or maybe they put all the items back after them being on a sandwich . Lauren will do a huge disservice to the sandwich shop ! She isn't equipped to be in customer service one her attitude, hygiene, ext ! I will also be reporting to health dept. I will try and send owner a message as well to notify them of the mistake they made by having Lauren represent their business. A photo will be posted there is always a Lauren everywhere you go it's unfortunate however these shop owners need to do their due diligence prior to hiring filthy people like Lauren to be the represent their establishment ..

    I love this place very much because the sandwiches here are the most delicious in town, the service was amazing, the ambiance was really neat, and I also enjoyed listening to the music, too!

    Sometimes you just need a big sandwich with oil, vinegar, salt and pepper on it. I remember loving this place when I was a teen. Im really glad they're in this strip mall. I like to visit Tuesday Morning, so this place is nearby. The service was friendly and the place was really clean, like brand spanking new! I got a sub and substituted the special bacon in, was it jalapeno bacon? In any case, my sandwich was good!

    I had no idea these were still around. This place is dope. Split a big foot Peppered Turkey, more than enough to keep me satiated til dinner. The service was smooth and easy, the place was clean and well kept, and the subs were made with quality ingredients - no brown avocados or questionable sprouts here. Will definitely be back.

    Honestly, this has got to be my new favorite chain sandwich shop in San Diego. I ordered the Cali sandwich which comes with lettuce, tomato, bacon, provolone cheese, and avocado. The bread had a really nice texture and cheesiness to it that wasn't overpowering. Flavor was great albeit everything is a little bit expensive. Almost definitely be coming back and trying some of the other sandwiches and I definitely have to try their macaroni salad as I'm a big fan

    After my appointment at the Veteran Affairs we passed by here at Mendocino Farm La Jolla…read more Our first time here so we just picked which one looks good and sounds good on the menu board. We picked PERUVIAN STEAK SANDWICH, a seared steak tossed in Spicy aji amarillo sauce, then their CHIMICHURRI STEAK BACON; it's a seared steak and applewood-smoked bacon, and also got their SMOKEY BBQ BRIOCHE SANDWICH , this one is a smoke Pork burnt ends with BBQ sauce. Every sandwich we had tasted good, but i like the most the Chimichurri Steak & Bacon, it's more to my palate, not too sweet or not too spicy. Service was quick our sandwiches were done quickly, plenty of staff go around checking the tables and greeting the customers. Parking is easy, with lots of spaces.

    I like the Mendocino Farms concept and we had a good experience at the first one we visited (it was…read morenot this one) so I was disappointed with our long wait for three to-go sandwiches and a cup of soup. I think I was sitting in the store for at least 30 minutes while a family member waited in our car and watched several people park, get their orders and leave. Two people who ordered after us received their food before we did. I finally stood up and only then did an associate crabbily pack up our order and give it to us. When we first arrived, no one even showed up at the counter for at least five minutes. There was another customer waiting behind us as well. My sandwich (Happy Hippie) was not very good...insubstantial and put together in a blah manner. A family member who had the "not so fried chicken sandwich" said it was too salty. I paid $62 for this order (with a tip, which I had added before the long wait...) It obviously wasn't a good value, This is a beautiful and clean store but a general lack of enthusiasm from the associates, inconsistent customer service, high prices, and mediocre quality food will dissuade me from making any future visits to this location.

    I love the La Jolla location of Ike's.  There is a ton of free parking in the underground structure…read moreso my car stays cool while I eat.  I ordered the Hollywould's SF Cheesesteak without cheese and I added bacon.  I liked the texture of the crunch bread which was mostly soft except for the top which was crumbly like a concha.  Bread had a nice mild flavor with a hint of sweetness.  Lettuce and tomato added some moisture and fresh flavors.  Bacon was dry and crunchy with a salty smoky flavor.  Steak was tender and I liked the beefy flavor.  This was a big sandwich and made for a good size lunch. Bubble Up which I drank alot when I was a kid but rarely see now was a pleasant surprise.  I loved the sweet lemon lime flavor.  They have a very good drink selection here. Zapps potato chips were crunchy and had a nice fried potato flavor.  A bit like Utz potato chips. 2nd visit I tried the Matt Cain sandwich.  I modified it so it had turkey, roast beef, bacon, lettuce, and tomato on the Dutch Crunch Bread.  Bread had a fresh aroma and flavor.  One of my fav breads.  Lettuce and tomato were fresh and crisp.  Bacon had a bit of crunch and a delicious salty and smoky flavor.  Roast beef and turkey were tender and tasty.  Great tasting sandwich. Zapps bbq potato chips were crunchy and I loved the tangy and smoky flavor. Staff was nice and got my order out quick.  Ike's makes great tasting sandwiches and has an awesome drink selection.  I noticed that you can purchase extra meat.  I'll give that a try next time.

    I feel like whenever I order ahead from ikes at other locations, there's always something missing…read more Not here! My sandwich was made perfectly and was ready at the time I set for pickup after ordering ahead on the app. I got the Terrell Davis which comes with turkey, avocado, bacon and Swiss. Asked for light dirty sauce. All the flavors worked really well together and it didn't eat too salty. Loved that they had a good amount of avocado in it too. It's located right at the entrance of the strip mall as you're driving in. Decent amount of parking but it was very busy when I came on a Tues during lunch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, more indoor though.

Tucked away in the back next to Leucadia Pizza in UTC at the end of Lebon where the Vons is... plenty if parking, next to Tesla chargers, and easy to find. Quick order process on the screen and plenty of places to sit and get some work done w free wifi. I love the korean music and TV featuring yummy korean eats.. and girls working there in the morning are so nice. Took sandwiches to go... and these are HUGE!!! Bigger than the ones I've seen from korea!! Got the bacon sandwich and its like 5 eggs thick with tons of yummy bacon.. slaw.. a slightly sweet sauce (koreans love sweet sauces)... and just so delicious. I was a little hesitant for the cost at first.. but the size definitely makes it worth. Easy to split with a buddy. My friend got sausage.. another hashbrown... and they also enjoyed their sandwiches! Also got the tiramisu coffee which was just right paired w the sandwich. Just the right amount of sweet and lovely chocolate flavor w coffee. Definitely recommend. Will definitely be back. Go get your breakfast fix and support them!! Such a lovely find!!

I found the bread a little lacking and overall it could use a little bit more salt. Still a tasty sandwich.

The salmon sandwich is a legit filet of salmon on a sandwich, not some BS patty made of scraps. The burger is juicy and delicious. The beef and sausage sandwich/roll is delicious. And the fries are fresh. And y'all, the beer, it is $2 with a meal. That means less than $20 for a killer burger/sandwich plus fries plus beer plus 20%+ tip. This restaurant always has people but is never so busy it slows down. The service is fast, friendly, and efficient. If you want a great meal and an incredible deal in a casual atmosphere, this is the spot. If you don't want to overpay for food and get a cheap craft beer (there's like 4 options, but for $2 what can you really ask for), this is the spot. Go here, eat, drink, and be happy.

    THE MELT @ LA JOLLA…read more This spot is open until 2 AM, so if you're craving food late at night, this is definitely a place to check out! The Melt has really good, high quality food that honestly does not taste like your typical fast food. This was actually my first time at the La Jolla location. I had previously been to the Delaware location, and every single time I've gone, the food has been so good. This time, I got the Oreo Shake, Melt Burger, Mac & Cheese, and Garlic Bacon Fries, and honestly, everything was a 10 out of 10. The quality is consistently so good, and I really love how flavorful everything is. It's also a really quick and easy spot. You can order through the kiosk or at the front counter, grab your food when it's ready, and sit wherever you'd like. You're also expected to clean up after yourself, which keeps everything pretty simple. The vibe inside is decent. It honestly reminds me of a typical fast food chain, but the biggest difference is that the food quality is definitely not fast food. Everything tastes fresh, delicious, and much higher quality than what you would normally expect from a quick service restaurant. I've been here past 2 AM a couple of times, and there are quite a few homeless people walking back and forth in the surrounding area, so I would just recommend being aware of your surroundings, especially if you're coming late at night. Overall, I really love The Melt and would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area or looking for a late night food spot!
