10 Best Delis near Monterey

“I first visited this amazing local deli in 1989-1990. I remembered the half loaves of bread stacked high with a pile of my choice of meats and cheeses. Although I was only 18-19, Compagno’s established my standard for an amazing sandwich. 32 years later I brought my sons here for lunch. Same delicious goodness a generation later.“

“Great staff, it’s always clean, and they make amazing sandwiches. This place tends to get real busy at lunch time; I recommend calling ahead. You you also have a choice of delicious breads, and you can customize your sandwich if you wish! The staff is always courteous, and quick. Their egg salad sandwich is really delicious, you just have to try it!“

“Unfortunately, there are not that many Mediterranean/ Middle Eastern Markets in Monterey atea. I come from Southern California where there are ample Mediterranean supermarket but at least this place offers some Mediterranean goodies not found in regular supermarkets. The owners are very nice.“

“We stopped here for a snack before walking along Cannery Row. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was unique, and my kids had a fit over how far the cheese on their grilled cheese sandwich stretched. Their chai latte is my favorite I’ve had in Monterey so far. We will definitely be back again!“

“The chili from 5th Avenue Deli will change your life. It is miraculous. I do not generally seek out chili…However, this warm, rich and flavorful chili has not only reversed my chili seeking behavior, it has made a 5th Ave. Deli chili devotee out of this native and local. I recommend the chili for life!
May I also suggest the Reuben and the Harris Ranch Tri-Tip!“
