50 Best Sandwich Shops near South El Monte

“I love this place !! I so enjoy the regular and the sesame seeds baguettes; the seeds give a delicious taste. Don't believe me. Try it. Their chicken sandwich has vegetables. The perfect size and the right amount of protein and veggies. Ah, I almost forgot to tell you, they have earned an A. Their employees are mostly elderly women. I love supporting them. 👏👏“

“Lolita’s on Rosemead in El Monte is always a solid choice, but their shrimp burritos on Sundays are on another level. All of their food is consistently good—fresh, flavorful, and well-made—but those Sunday shrimp burritos are easily the star of the menu. They’re packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and definitely worth stopping by for. If you’re in the area and want something delicious, Lolita’s never disappoints.“

“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.“

“Fresh, great quality food. Crispy chicken and tender beef. I got the Italian Beef with white american paired perfectly with au jus. Wife got the two piece chicken (seasoned well) and waffles and of course I stole a bite. Will definitely be coming back.“

“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’ve been here quite a few times and always enjoy it. The place gets busy around lunch and dinner, sometimes with a line out the door. You can tell it’s a family-run spot and that they put a lot of effort into it. Definitely worth supporting.“

“Very few non-vegan restaurants have vegan mayo and cheese, so I was thrilled to be able to order a sandwich. Far from fancy, but a nice place for a sandwich and chit chat with friends, either sitting inside or outside. Parking lot is free for first 90 minutes. My family loved the fresh-baked non-vegan cookies for dessert and even bought extra to take home!“

“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!!“

“Good service and great food“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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. 🤣“

“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 🤤“

“We had nothing but a great experience with this catering company. From the very beginning, everything was handled professionally and smoothly. They were punctual and even arrived an hour early to complete the setup, which we truly appreciated.
The setup exceeded our expectations — they delivered exactly what we had discussed, and it looked even more beautiful than we imagined. The food was also fantastic — fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented.
Simply put, I would highly recommend them. They are very kind, professional, and wonderful people to work with. Thank you for making our event so special!“

“I am a fan favorite of Lee’s especially the banh mi and iced coffee. When I moved back to Cali I was excited to see how many Lee’s there are through expansion. However I have been disappointed with ALL of them except for the one in Pasadena. Always great service, the bread is always soft with great texture (not stale), plenty of meat. Other Lee’s give and embarrassing amount of meat. Lee’ Pasadena I will always drive extra to come see you.“

“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.“

“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 probably the best tuna sandwich I've ever had in my life. I never want to have any other tuna sandwich as long as I live.

The owner is a very nice and friendly person. I love all the artwork in the facility. Every time I visit this part of town I'm going to go here“

“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.“

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

“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. 👍👍👍“

“Luis provided such AmazingCostumerService.Calm energy.Loving attitude.Man such a great experience.Luis Certainly deserves a PAY RAISE.He represents the Charley's establishment so well.Handled 3 different people's orders so swiftly as promoted. Excellent work ethic“

“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! 🙌🏼“

“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.“

“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!“

“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. ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“today was my first visit here at Tony's donut and I have to say it's a clean business I had an iced mocha very delicious and their service is really good so yes I do recommend and I hope to go back there soon again 🤗“

“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!“

“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!“
