Enjoyed two sandwiches (hubby saw mines and said oooh I wanna try that one too! So we shared! ) so both the pastrami on marble bread ( I think it's #13 )and the Angel Gate are absolutely delicious and satisfying! Lily is friendly and a pleasure to speak with! Definitely a great deli shop! We will be returning!

Sandwiches were alright. Just not much flavor in our opinion and felt like the bread wasn't really fresh, which makes or a break a sandwich. Had the kitchen sink & the cabrillo for reference.

The Cabrillo sandwich was super delicious! They even add 2 pickle spears to go with it. I will definitely be coming back here again due to their amazing and friendly service :) The lady who helped me was so welcoming and definitely helped put a smile on my face. I know the sign outside says to walk up to the driveway to order, but don't make the same mistake I did lol, you can just walk in the store via the stairs on the side. The inside is small with only a couple small tables - I would prefer ordering to-go here.

There is this story of Leonardo da Vinci where he drew a perfect circle freehand to demonstrate his mastery. That's how I feel about this spot. The sandwiches don't try to distract you with gimmickry. They are timeless perfection. A harmonious blend of flavors; just pure excellence. I never get tired of turning people on to one of my favorite hidden gems in San Diego. The owners are lovely, service is great and the patio is the perfect spot to take a break on a perfect San Diego day.

This hidden gem has been one of my favorites for a long time. Their sandwiches remind me of good deli sandwiches that my mom used to make in Sacramento when she had her own business. Everything is always made fresh and to your order. And now I'm glad that I moved closer so I can walk to get a delicious lunch made with love.
