Sandwich Shops near South El Monte

“An awesome authentic find! the portions are filling and it tastes delicious 🌮“

“I usually go for breakfast because they have made to order breakfast bahn mi sandwiches. For the price, you get a pretty big sized sandwich. I think I spend like under 12 bucks for a sandwich and bottled water. I usually get the ham and egg. Kimmy always takes my phone orders and she is so nice!“

“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.“

“Look… the vibes at The Garden Deli are IMMACULATE. The food is FIRE. 🔥

This is not Subway…no shade 😂 But if you want a QUALITY sandwich, come here and learn what “sandwich artist” is actually supposed to mean. The bread? QUALITY. The ingredients? Fresh. The whole sandwich? Just…YES.

And let me talk about the potato salad because somebody momma PUT. HER. FOOT. IN. IT. 😂👏🏾 It tasted like my mom made it daily…CHEF’S KISS. The pasta salad is good too! Actually, ask them how they would eat everything. Trust me…they will not lead you astray.

I brought my dad with me and we got our food to go. Baby…that food did not make it past the parking lot. 😂😂 We were supposed to take it home. Supposed to. The plan changed somewhere between the front door and the car.

The shop is small, but somehow you don’t want to leave. And the people working there? Some of the friendliest, funniest people. You can genuinely tell they enjoy working there and actually enjoy meeting and talking with their customers. That kind of energy is rare.

I was literally trying to poach them to come open a spot where I work…THAT is how good they are. 😂 If I’m trying to recruit your entire operation, you know the food is doing what it needs to do.

Gen Z would probably say the place has AURA. My millennial colleagues would say this place is BUSSIN. Either way…The Garden Deli is THAT GIRL. 😂🔥

Catch them now while you still can because I have ZERO doubt they’re going to blow up. Get your sandwich, get the potato salad, get the pasta salad, ask them what they recommend and trust the process.

And please…don’t sleep on this place. Your taste buds deserve better than a footlong wrapped in sadness. 😂“

“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!!“

“First time trying this place out.
It was worth it. I had the pastrami dip sandwich.
It was delicious
I can see why it has the reviews that it has
I highly recommend trying them out. I went to the original location in Alhambra.
Good job guys

“We had a delicious meal at Monty's that serves hot and cold sandwiches, chicken and waffles and breakfast all day! We tried their G-moe's cheesesteak - the bread was soft and the steak was perfectly seasoned and paired well with the cheese and mushrooms. We also had the steak breakfast burrito which is one of my tops on the area. The tortilla is thin, egg is fluffy, waffle fries are crisp and cheese and meat was spot on! Sweet potato fries and house-made potato salad were tasty too. The staff are friendly, prices and portions are great and easy parking in the plaza. Definitely recommend a visit!“
