Best sandwiches and best service in SD. Way better than ikes or any other place everyone goes to. And I eat sandwiches every other day.

Mejores sabdwiches en San Diego la neta.

$14 before tax and tip is a little steep for a sandwich this small. My dudes over at The Deli Llama make good stuff but if the bread has low surface area you should put more ingredients in it.

Coming from a sandwich connoisseur, this place hits time and time again. These simple yet eloquent sandwich’s are a must if you are in the Hillcrest area. Can’t go wrong with any of their delicious choices.
