5 Best Delis near Santa Cruz

“I've been here as a young man & it hasn't changed at all. The chicken parmesan sandwich is my go-to for a hot sandwich, while the muffeletta is the best cold sandwich I've ever had. I highly recommend grabbing lunch there before hitting the boardwalk.“

“They have fresh tamales here after 8am. I love the chicken tamales and the cheese/jalapeños tamales.

Also, the masa (corn flour) used to make them is gluten-free. They make sandwiches too. This corner store has everything.

Vegetarian options: Cheese and Jalapen̈os tamales. Chips, dip et cetera.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten- Free and Vegetarian options. I don't know if they have vegan options.

Parking: 8 or more spots.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not very easy to access.“

“Our local market, always there when we need essentials and don’t want to drive down the hill!“

“Hands down best trip tip sandwich ever made. It’s a staple in our little town and we have been going here for years. They give you so much meat it’s worth your buck. Highly recommend checking out Masoods liquor & deli when you’re in or passing through Ben Lomond.“

“The clam chowder is worth the trip.“
