A total hidden gem in San Marcos! Tina's Deli has been around for over 20 years, serving up fresh, delicious sandwiches piled high with fresh ingredients. My personal favorite is the Ultimate Torpedo, but they also have a great selection, including the Turkey, Bacon & Avocado and Deluxe Italian Sub. They even have homemade cookies, macaroni salad, and plenty of chips to choose from. There's plenty of parking and both indoor and outdoor seating. They're open Monday through Saturday and closed Sundays. I highly recommend calling ahead to place your order, especially around lunchtime. Definitely a local spot worth checking out. My favorite sandwich shop for sure. Friendly service too! read more

I ordered a half sandwich of the turkey bacon avocado, and made it a combo. I was happy with the cost of the food and the portions I received. It's a great place to go to for lunch. I did a mobile order pick up because that place seemed super busy when I went in to pick up my food. The sandwich is packed with fresh flavor and felt full from half a sandwich. Flavors and textures were a perfect blend of toast and crisp, and the veggies were still crunchy and not soggy. I tried their cookie for dessert and wow, so soft and not too sweet. This is a place I will come back to whenever I want to go out for lunch. read more

Tina's Deli - *Turkey Bacon & Avocado* - Sandwiches Near Me - San Marcos, California

This was a group order with friends who had been here before. They are not kidding by saying Tina's Deli is a hidden gem. All the sandwiches are fully customizable as to choice of bread and accoutrements, so keep that in mind. The garlic chili oil, chipotle ranch, and chipotle mayo spreads are all house made. I had the Turkey BLT with Avocado with "The Works", on a house made roll that they make daily. "The Works" includes mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, and chopped red onions. With the one inch thick stack of fresh, thinly sliced turkey and all those other delicious ingredients, this sandwich girl's heart was in heaven. I can't even describe how fresh every single ingredient was on this sandwich. Let's just say everything had a clean taste to it and not one ingredient overpowered the other ingredients. Oh! And I got a delicious house made chocolate chip cookie with the sandwich. There are daily specials. On Fridays, they supposedly have the best London Broil roast beef French Dip sandwich, with house made Au jus that is allegedly out of this world. Might have to make two trips to Tina's this week! A hidden gem. read more

Tina's Deli - *Turkey BLT with Avocado* ~ Yumminess!! Every single element so Fresh. Ofc I ate the bigger half first! - Sandwiches Near Me - San Marcos, California

I really love this place for the quality of the sandwiches they make but damn do they take a long time to get you your sandwich; I've been sitting here waiting over 30 minutes for my sandwich. Very basic on this inside. That's not why you come here for. We'll still keep coming but just be prepared for long waits. They need more help. read more

I hadn't been to Tina's for many years. I forgot all about this little place. Impressed by the other reviews I thought I would check it out again. I'm a big eater and I don't like wimpy sandwiches. I got the "Ultimate Torpedo" and wow ! that thing was BIG ! Lots of super thin sliced beef, ham, turkey, and fresh veggies. Great roll too. I looked at the second half and wasn't sure if I could finish it. But I did. LOL ! Can't wait to go back and try the pastrami or reuben. read more

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. read more

My husband has been hyping up Tina's breakfast burritos and he wanted me to try them. We went on a Saturday morning at around 10:30 am, which is near the end of them serving breakfast at 11 am. We both ordered breakfast burritos which comes eith two meats, but I asked if we can sub the meats for avocado, and my wish my granted. They make it with eggs, a hashbrown patty, cheese, and your choice of 2 meats (ham, bacon, sausage, or turkey). They also offer a spicy delicious red salsa. I enjoyed it - it's smaller than your typical taco shop burrito, but it's still filling. Yes, I'm talking to you America! The only thing, for me, is the eggs needed salt. My husband had meat in his, so he describes that the saltiness from the bacon/ham complements the other components of the burrito. So, I say this, but still everything else was perfect. The eggs were fluffy, the tortilla was chewy and heated perfectly, the cheese choice was great, and they gave me a satisfactory serving of avocado. All in all, I'll consider dropping by for breakfast during the week too. Service was friendly and they've got a good team working in the kitchen. read more

*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. read more

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! read more

Tastes amazing 10/10 brings so much memories. The people are so kind I just wish I had more time to visit

Very friendly person at the register we were greated warmly as we approached the counter. This place is pretty basic indoors. Nothing fancy, fully stocked with drinks, chips, small salads, etc. we both ordered the Hot Ruben. I was very pleased. Tasty, with just enough thousand island dressing. Definitely a return visit is on agenda. read more

I had an Italian sandwich..it was so good! Great service. It was packed but I didnt wait long. I will be back

Nothing better than a good old fashioned, salt of the earth, deli. Was visiting this area on a work trip and ordered a couple of sandwiches on the phone. When I walked in to pick up, it was a mix of people from all kinds of walks of life smiling and the smell was amazing (it was French dip day). Food was outstanding, service was beyond friendly, and it was a beautiful experience. Oh and they work fast. I was in and out in less than a minute. read more

Our local neighborhood gem. We frequently order take out because this place is BUSY! Portions are generous as well as delicious. It's truly a hole in the wall location (looks awful outside, not a great improvement inside), but the people and the quality make up for optics. This place has been solid with EVERY order and our whole family loves getting Tina's! read more

First time ordering through door dash, BEST SANDWICH EVER! This sandwich was full of meat, bread was so soft and even the darn cookie was BOMB! Will definitely be ordering again from you guys! Thank you for a great sandwich for my lunch. Keep up the great quality of your food! read more

I have been to Tina's about fives times in the past year and absolutely love it! They will customize each sandwich to your liking. They never mind giving me an extra pickle or two. Inside is cute and charming. It's like you would've managed a sandwich shop to look like inside. It gets busy during the lunch rush, but they are very quick. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. I can't wait to go back! read more

Best sandwich shop around by far! Everyone who works there is extremely friendly. Our absolute favorite!! Would be perfect for catering as well. read more

I go to st Augustine nearby and rarely go out to lunch, but when I do, Tina's is the ultimate choice. Their sandwiches are so fresh with amazing ingredients and so much love goes into every order. It's a total mom and pop kind of place too so it definitely feels nice to support a local business. My favorites so far are the chicken club and their chicken chipotle. They also have breakfast options which I'm here for today. Each sandwich is around $11-14 and most of the time too big to eat for one meal so It's for sure a great deal. read more

Deviled eggs are fire, Pickled eggs are fire. I love the service as well. Sandwiches are good 2, I'll be back

Yo, great sandos at a great price! You know this place is legit, because it's ALWAYS busy, but the line moves crazy fast.

Good but expensive and just overpriced. The prices listed on Yelp are not current fyi, all sandwiches start at $12.50 and chips are $2.50. So a basic lunch is going to be over $15. I just have price fatigue. Sandwiches shouldn't cost this much. I ordered the cold deluxe Italian sub. I was impressed by the quality of the meats and everything on it was fresh. Roll was decent. They have a good variety of sandwiches and it was crowded when I went there at lunchtime. There are a few tables but this strikes me as more of a to-go location. Plenty of parking. It's not near anything else and seems to serve some of the businesses around it. I'd like to come back and try other sandwiches but it'll be awhile as I'm just not willing to pay these prices on a routine basis. The price on the chips is just price gouging. The food was good the prices were not. read more

First time visiting this place , don't let the hole in the wall vibe fool you , best Italian sub I've ever had

Nice meatball sub! For a small local business, Tina's provides good value and flavor!

I've long been on the hunt for San Diego County's best Italian sub and I think I found it at Tina's. I just finished one of their spicy Italian subs and it is hands down my favorite. Lots of meat, delicious toppings, and the spicy giardiniera takes it over the top. As many people can probably relate: as soon as you find something you like, it either disappears from the menu or it gets worse the next time you have it. So the question is: will this item stay on the menu? and will it be as good on the 2nd, 10th, or 50th time I have it? Time will tell... but for now: 5 stars. If this sandwich goes away or if it's bad the next time I have it -- 1 star! ;) read more

Tina's Deli - Generous Portions & the Best Macaroni Salad! Tina's Deli is one of those places that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The portions are beyond generous--seriously, you will not leave hungry! Their sandwiches are packed with fresh, high-quality ingredients, but the real reason I keep coming back? That homemade macaroni salad. It's creamy, perfectly seasoned, and tastes like something your favorite aunt would make for a family picnic. The owner is incredibly welcoming and clearly takes pride in every dish that comes out of the kitchen. You can tell this isn't just a business--it's a labor of love. Whether you're stopping in for a quick bite or grabbing something to go, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend! read more

The roast beef sandwich on rye bread was amazing. Not much space for dine in, but good for takeouts l.

I got a hot turkey and avocado with the works to go. When I bit into the sandwich, I was disappointed to find giant chunks of red onion and little to no flavor, definitely lacking salt. I think the prices are fair, but I'm not sure I'll be back. read more
