Macaroni salad
Valerie C.

A hole in the wall sandwich shop that packs a punch! It was particularly busy on a Saturday during lunch as expected. The store itself is located on a busy street and is easily missed if you weren't looking for it. Service is quick and friendly, the menu is quite extensive with lots of options to choose from. You can also grab chips by the side wall along with drinks and side dishes like Mac salad (which we got an we tasty!) Ordered a cold Italian to go. It had all the fixings in it at a great price.

First time trying Tina's, it was a busy restaurant but ordering online was quick! Everything was fresh, delicious and filling for a half sandwich. It's a local hole in the wall deli spot and has a unique vibe. Staff was friendly and ontop of it! My new favorite local sandwich shop!

*Hot Pastrami* very tasty. Recommended to toast the bread, good call. But got mayo on my order. Thankfully I'm not allergic. I keep trying Tina's & Tina's too but my order keeps getting messed up which is the reason why we got 3 out of 4 stars.

*Toasted Club*

I'm doing some training nearby and asked about this place, was told it was great. I'll be very honest from the outside I wasn't sure what to expect. Once you step inside it's always hustlin and bustlin and the deli is super clean and organized. There was a very nice woman at the register with a ball cap, she greeted me right away and was super friendly, even the staff in the back preparing food give off such a positive energy. I ordered the toasted club and the sandwich was sooo good. Now I did have lunch here a couple more times, having the blt and chicken club. Both sandwiches were too delicious that I forgot to take pictures and the most amazing thing? That same friendly woman knew my name after only a couple visits.....and they're busy often so that really just blew my mind. If possible I would give Tina's 10 stars.....the food is delicious and the only thing better than the food is the welcoming customer service. I'm just sad my training will end soon and I won't be able to regularly visit. Thank you staff for the amazing experiences!

See all

Ask the Community - Tina's Deli

Does this business have an outdoor patio? Is it smoke-free?

Patio, No. One picnic table right in front of the door - "smoke free" sure but that's presuming no one is smoking right there on the sidewalk. It's tight right there, it'd be a rare pretty inconsiderate smoker, etc.…

My only regret is that I've driven by this place for 39 years before trying it! It's charming,…read morecozy, spotless ... but the real issue is food. The Sandwich I had was fantastic. I had their talked about "Big Kahuna" and it was big... and it was delicious. I had the 6" and ate all I could and still had the left over for lunch today. The meats are first class... excellent and fresh. The bread... I asked the owner and he said he thought the Big Kahuna was best on their French Roll... so I went with that. My wife had a Turkey and Cheese on Squaw. She started out thinking the Squaw was not as sweet as she liked... and by the end of the sandwich... had reversed her opinion and really liked it. Both were perfectly fresh. The French roll is not a hard crust and smashed beautifully ... other wise I would never have gotten my mouth around the Big Kahuna ... even with an aggressive double "Gnawing" bite. Mustard, Mayo, Vinegar and Oil, Salt and Pepper... Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Dill Pickle chips, and Pepperoncini. Now that is a spectacular sandwich. Will go back every time a sandwich is my choice. The service ... friendly, helpful, kind and pleasant. Doesn't hurt either that the place is beautifully decorated to an inviting atmosphere. Best ... great surprise we have had in food in quite a while.

Went for lunch and this place is always a hit. Sandwiches are big and bread nice and fresh. Service…read moreis great, staff friendly and communicative. Family run and very accommodating. The restaurant itself is very clean (including the restrooms). Best sandwich spot in San Marcos for sure, highly recommend!
