50 Best Sandwich Shops near South El Monte

“First time trying Mr. Baguette. The service was good. The ingredients was fresh and plentiful. I enjoyed the crispy baguette. There was plenty of seating inside. I noticed the dining area wasn't very clean. We visited at a slow time. No excuses.“

“Food is delicious and just the right amount of spice
taste just like momma used to make. (If not better just don’t tell my mom or I’ll get the chancla)

Also thanks to El Monte memes for sharing this location if it wasn’t for him I’d never realize this place was here and I’ve been driving down Rosemead most of my life

Armando down in the reviews can suck a jalapeño womp womp go eat McDonald’s“

“It's a chain so you know what you're getting into before you even enter. Having said that, this specific one is extra roomy and clean.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level, no steps to climb and quite roomy. Defiantly enough room for easy mobility if one is in a wheelchair.“

“Excellent service and great food.“

“best place ever. been coming since I was 7 yrs old“

“The pastrami dip at The Hat is legendary, and for good reason. The portions are massive, and the meat is juicy and tender. The fries are also ridiculously large—enough to share with two or three people. The place has a no-frills, diner-like feel. It’s indulgent comfort food at its best“

“I found Monte’s in Alhambra just poking around for something to eat one day. I live pretty close and had no idea it was there. Walked in, looked at the menu, and immediately knew this was my kind of place. Alexis runs the show here, and he and the rest of the crew are great, friendly, fast, and you can tell they actually care about the food. Everything on the menu looks solid, but I went with the first sandwich on the hot list the Legendary Chopped Cheese. It did not disappoint. Great flavor, perfect portion, and for about thirteen bucks, it’s a very fair price. The sandwich-to-price ratio is a strong 8½ out of 10 for me. The inside of the sandwich was fantastic, melty, flavorful, just messy enough to be satisfying. The bread was soft, which isn’t a bad thing, but personally, I would’ve liked it a touch crunchier to give it more texture. Still, the bread did its job and held everything together just fine.
Parking’s super easy. It’s in a little strip mall with a ramen spot and a few other restaurants. You can pop right in and out. I think it’s off the Fremont exit on the freeway. The location couldn’t be better for a quick, easy meal. Everything about this place feels right: great food, solid pricing, easy parking, and good people running it. Every sandwich I saw go by looked worth ordering, and I’ve already got my eye on the chicken and waffles, which seems to be one of their signature dishes. Monte’s is one of those hidden gems that feels like it should already be packed all the time. I’ll definitely be back, probably more than once to work my way down that menu.“

“Small little place with only a small bench to eat outside. I usually just get a. Sandwich and a coke and eat it in the parking lot, sitting on the wall in a sunny spot-And I have a great time.

I call this a win. I have the same thing every time. I know I should try something new. Next time maybe“

“You will never get a sub quite as lovely as these. I don’t know why they’re so good, maybe fresh bread and fresh ingredients IDK but Turkey extra chili is my fave!! Mom loves Milanesa and the fried sides are YUMM too! I learned how to make my voice heard at the old little market. The big construction men at lunch time would be shouting out their orders. I was 11 years old and had to shout my order too!! Been a patron since 1982!!“

“The food was really good and the gentleman working behind the counter was courteous and professional, the older lady was very rude and impatient. Will not be going again“

“Bathroom was clean and smelled good despite the frequent traffic. I have never had anything but pastramis and fries from the hat but the turkey burger was recommended by my aunt.

I am not a fan of turkey or turkey burgers but I tried it anyway. It was delicious and juicy. Probably the best burger I’ve had all year.“

“Every time I visit this location, I’m ALWAYS greeted with a smile and provided optimum customer service. The General Manager (Ben I believe) is really attentive and professional, along with his staff. Definitely recommend this spot for sure!“

“Good service and great food“

“One of the best pastrami sandwiches I've ever had. The pastrami, the bun is all amazing. I unfortunately don't live near one so I have to grab it when I'm driving by. Unfortunately I have no pictures because I immediately started eating it the moment I brought it to the table. 🤣“

“Super friendly service and they always remember your face. With me they always remembers what I order. Way delicious sandwiches. Condiments and well drinks not to be rivaled. Smack in the middle of Pasadena near Sierra Madre on Colorado. Enjoy!“

“Delicious sandwiches and over repriced drinks, one Aquafina for $2.35 😑“

“My favorite sandwich shop in SGV! My all time favorite is the Pastrami & Swiss Melt on the Marble Rye bread. They have great customer service & a large selection of food items 🤤“

“todo delicioso 🥯🍩🥖muy buen servicio 👌 🤤“

“I been here twice had the turkey sandwich on slice bagel bread the 1st time and the 2nd time I had the tune on slice bagel bread and the mango tea. so far I love this place everything nice and clean and excellent customer service. I will be back.“

“My wife has her own sandwich which is a Michelle sandwich turkey, provolone, easy on the mayo and mustard with avocado on toasted Italian roll, just ask for a Michelle they know what it consists of with a bag of chips and pelegrino pamogranit and tangerine try it you'll like it and tell them Michelle sent you thank you and bon a petite ?.“

“Went there for a sandwich. It was my first time at Jersey Mike's. I noticed a whole section of the menu was dedicated to Philly cheese sandwiches. The portions were generous and the staff did everything they could that made me feel at home.“

“This is one of those local gem mom and pop restaurants that everyone loves. Great sandwiches, great onion rings and good prices. The restaurant itself it a little dated and the owners say very little, but the food speaks for itself. I've been coming here since I was a kid and will continue coming until I no longer can.

Parking: Free parking but limited parking spaces.“

“Love the BOGO Boba Drinks. I tried Thai Tea it was delicious. My son who is very picky and only usually gets Vanilla shakes. But he actually liked the flavor of the Milk Tea. He said it was smooth and tasted delicious. Friendly Customer Service. Great place to come back to.“

“My friend brought me a sandwich from here for lunch today and it was UNBELIEVABLY good!!! WOW <3 =)“

“My new go to place for banh mi! They're open until pretty late for a banh mi place, which I appreciated when I needed to grab some sandwiches at 8:30 pm for a late dinner.

They offer a buy 2 get 1 free deal for the round bread banh mi. One is $6.25 so when you order two and get one free, it comes out to be about $4 each. The sandwiches I've gotten so far (grilled pork and grilled beef) are the most stuffed I've seen in a round banh mi!

I couldn't leave without trying their egg rolls and pate chaud. They're $1.30 each or 3 pieces for $3.75. Solid egg rolls and pate chaud.

Parking in this supermarket plaza can be a little crazy. Park towards the side to avoid the traffic.“

“Let me start by saying we've been going about a year now and I'm telling you it's a great place it's like cheers great happy hour for beers everybody from Carl to Brayden to Emma all the rest of the find staff there it's just a great place to be“

“La comida es buena pero son demasiado de lentos 30 min esperando mi orden... ll“

“I’ve visited this Subway location a couple of times, and it’s been a very nice experience. The workers are polite, friendly, and always make your sandwich perfectly. I enjoyed sitting down and eating here, and I highly recommend this location.“

“I happened to see one of these on the way to my hotel and it reminded me of the shops they had in Sac. Grabbed a grilled pork bahn mi for lunch with some egg rolls to share. Added a well done egg and loved it. All their sandwiches are really good. I will return if in the area for sure. Great food for a great price“

“Ordered a 3 ft sub sandwich the night before I needed. Every place else wanted 48 hour notice. Got to say, the sandwich was fresh and amazing! It was enjoyed by all for my family reunion. Will definitely go back to check out the rest of the menu. I spoke to Maria, who was very cordial and extremely helpful. This is my new go to for a large party sub sandwich. 👍👍👍“

“It was a pleasure being assisted by JERRY he’s always on point. I’d rather go to this place than any other. He always greets u upon arrival. He’s quick, pleasant, smiles, has small conversation while preparing your food. He’s very friendly and a hard worker. Sadly the workers have to deal with running out of supplies. And disappointing the customers. Management really needs to step up their game. Take time to do the CORRECT intake on inventory!
Kept up good work Mr. Jerry!“

“Very yummy sandwich place full of unique combinations! I also love how they have the skinny bread option. That way I could indulge in my birthday bundt cake too 😋 great staff and always get my orders right which Is a large pet peeve of mine when ordering take out.“

“Driving between Palm Springs and Los Angeles? We plan the whole trip around this …

Have a special combo bahn mi at Tip Top Sandwiches in Rosemead. Their fresh spring rolls, pho and Vietnamese coffee are killer too! And never leave without a fresh $3 French baguette.“

“First time in this area I found this hidden gem. The sandwiches are amazing. Kevin and Lynn are such special people. Kind great hearted I wish them the very best. I'm definitely coming back. Thank you Kevin and Lynn you made my day much better. ❤️“

“Reduced prices are a good suggestion!!!!!!I am a very good customer I come every week

Vegetarian options: Good vegetables ?

Kid-friendliness: AVAILABLE AND VERY KIND no problems what so ever

Parking: Subway #3476-0 plenty of good parking“

“Love the sandwiches. By far better than Subway, Quiznos, and my beloved Jersey Mikes. Sorry Jersey Mikes, Jimmy Johns won my taste buds and my co-workers. Psst... Jimmy Johns, can I get a #11 no lettuce add cucumbers? You know who I am at the usps!“

“Great sandwiches. I especially enjoyed the atmosphere and the great service from the owner. A+ for customer service. The gentleman was exceptional. Don’t get quality service like that anymore. Would definitely recommend supporting this sandwich shop. We’ll be back! 🙌🏼“

“Recently started eating here and their sandwiches are fantastic. Fresh ingredients and great quality meat. I ordered the wrong sandwiches by mistake for delivery and they were kind enough to remake the sandwiches free of charge. Joe was very helpful and considerate of my issue and fixed it no problem. Will definitely be a usual here!“

“Always fresh and made one mistake out of the many times I went and gave me a fair discount on my next order plus was willing to replace my order . I was just tired from work to go back
But food is great and they hook it up not greedy with the meat like other places“

“Judging by the location, the emptiness of the place, and the quietness of the kitchen, I couldn't help but assume that this restaurant doesn't get much attention.

I still gave it a try. The lady who took my order was really sweet, and her reccomendation of a BLT was spot-on. I waited no longer than 5 minutes for my sandwich, if that. The bread was the real star-I had the softest, tastiest multigrain bread I've ever eaten in my entire life.

The thing about this place is that it's surrounded by soulless, corporate buildings on all sides. It's hidden behind a bank and shares a parking lot with corporate offices. I doubt anyone in the area is actually looking for food, which is the sad part. The quality of the food I had was on-par with many chains that do well purely due to the location.

I will be reccomending this place to anyone in the area. I hope it builds a name for itself to overcome the crappy location.

(By the way, they also have fresh pastries and muffins)“

“Shout out to Louie for caring about customer service on Thursday night March 18. Nice to see you care about Jersey Mike's image. Great job Louie!“

“My doctors office is across the street I come every time I go and I go to the doctors 3 times a month every month and I have been going for 2 yrs now I have always had a super great experience but this day on August 15, 2019 @ 2:00 p.m I GOT THE WORSE SERVER SHE HAD AN ATTITUDE BECAUSE SHE MESSED UP MY ORDER HOW DARE HER “AUDRY” WAS HER NAME I WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE OF THE MISTAKE SHE MADE SHE CHARGED ME FOR A SMALL WHEN I MADE CLEAR I WANTED A LARGE WHEN SHE HAD TO CALL ANOTHER WORKER TO ASSIT WITH THE ADJUSTMENT SHE GOT A MAJOR ATTITUDE “AUDRY” DID WHICH I DIDNT UNDERSTAND SHE WAS SUPER DUPER RUDE I HAVE NEVER FELT SO UNAPPRECIATED WHEN GOING TO THIS PLACE CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT I HAVE BEEN COMING HERE FOR 2 years“

“Received my Birthday regular sandwich with no problems. Associates were helpful, Original Italian was VERY tasty 😋“

“Service was very nice and friendly and sub was delicious! Hopefully it's just as inviting after the grand opening wears off.“

“I just ordered 29 sandwiches for a Saturday gathering. I was assisted by the very kind and efficient manager Anna. She made the process so easy. While I was there, I ordered for myself today a tuna sandwich Mike's way, with jalapeno peppers, of course. It was the best tuna sandwich ever! If you are in the Norwalk area, you must get lunch here as soon as possible.“

“First time going with my daughter. I love it. Fresh bread and the food absolutely fresh I got in love this place ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Came here for dinner tonight and I must say Angel was a SUPERSTAR. Not only was he working by himself, but he was cool, calm and collected in such a stressful situation. I really didn’t understand why he was by himself during a dinner time rush, but the fact that he’s STILL A TRAINEE… I was shocked. I’ve honestly never come across a better employee at Subway! Let’s just say he was so good that I never thought I would leave a review for Subway…“

“It was great, I had a birthday coupon and I though I was going to be able to order the minimal sandwich on the menu but to my amazement he said anything in the menu. Good sandwich!“

“Great subs try and I’m sure y’all will like them“
