Pretty much asked to add roast beef & pastrami to a veggie delight on a roll sub the ranch with the chipotle aioli & that was on point. I did mess up not adding pickles, but I know now for next time I go in.
Vegetarian options: All I'm going to say is it's a Deli, need I say more?
Kid-friendliness: Helpful staff that interacted with couple questions & made recommendations as there's a lot of great looking sandwiches there to choose from.i also went in minutes before closing & not once did they make me feel rushed as so many other places do... You know what I mean, these guys where awesome.
Wheelchair accessibility: Door is open during business hours so no reason why a wheelchair wouldn't be able to easily get in or out of the deli.

Within my first bite, I was “Wow’ed”My hats off to them! This was my first time coming here and Jason helped me make up my mind on my first sandwich here and he did not fail. From the first to last bite of my sandwich I had an explosion of flavor and a diverse array of textures that made me fall in love with the quality. I will be recommending the deli llama to all family and friends! I hope that many people view my review and give this place a try! This has become a new San Diego favorite of mine. THANKYOU FOR AWESOME QUALITY SANDWICHES ?

I was searching for a good deli that sells half sandwiches and found this. I got a half Acrobat (roast beef) on rye and it was just delicious! So fresh tasting, definitely quality meat, a bit rare how I like it and a good portion of meat. I'll definitely go back!

This place was very unassuming but the sandwiches were great! Literally a hole in the wall with great food which are our favorite places to stop for lunch. As I was standing there I noticed the smell of freshly cooked bacon which made me more hungry. They had creative choices and a lot of them. The deli meats and toppings tasted fresh and the sandwiches were nicely crafted. All our sandwiches were spot on. To top it all off the service was very friendly. If you are looking for a quick lunch for the family check this place out!

Nestled on 5th Ave. in the heart of San Diego's Hillcrest neighborhood, the Deli Llama is a local gem that welcomes you with its flavors and service. The atmosphere exudes warmth and charm, creating the perfect backdrop for a delightful sandwich stop.The quick and efficient service at Deli Llama adds to the overall appeal, ensuring that your meal is served promptly, and nice and hot (depending on your order), without compromising on quality. The menu boasts a tantalizing array of sandwiches and wraps, each offering a customizable journey for your taste buds.We tried the "Fire Eater," a masterfully crafted creation featuring melted pepper jack on succulent turkey, adorned with a medley of fresh fixings. The pièce de résistance was the chipotle aioli, adding a perfect kick to the ensemble, all wrapped in a seared spinach wrap that exploded with wonderful flavors and textures.One cannot overlook the impressive wall of drinks, a testament to the Deli Llama's commitment to catering to diverse palates. From refreshing water to classic sodas and locally crafted IPAs, there's a beverage option for everyone.Our visit to the Deli Llama was nothing short of a delight, leaving us eager to return and explore more of their menu. Whether you're a local seeking a reliable go-to spot or a visitor looking for a taste of San Diego's vibrant food scene, Deli Llama is a must-visit destination.

Don’t sleep on this place! Classic corner deli run by some friendly guys. Quality, unique sandwiches. Can’t recommend enough. Great spot for lunch!
The Deli Llama is by far one of the best gourmet sandwich places I've been to in southern California. The service is A+ and the food is a 10/10. I have ate here several times and have never been disappointed in any of the sandwiches that I've had. The ingredients are fresh and the choces for bread is excellent. If you are thinking of coming here, just do it. You will not regret it.

I recently discovered this incredible deli called Deli Llama and I have to say, it's hands down the best deli spot I've ever been to in my life. I have tried almost every sandwich on the menu, and each time I order, it continues to amaze me. The Deli Llama has done an amazing job with their sandwich creations because every single sandwich I try becomes a new favorite! What's also exciting is that their soups are different every day! So, every time I order from Deli Llama, I get to try something new and delicious. It really adds an element of surprise to my meal. I have to mention how friendly the staff is. Jason and Austin are extremely helpful in picking out a sandwich to satisfy my cravings for the day! They always greet me with a smile and genuinely make me feel welcome. It's those little things that make the overall experience at Deli Llama even better. I highly recommend giving Deli Llama a try if you haven't already. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
