Ordered via DoorDash a roast beef dip w/ au jus. It said it comes with seasoned chips but I just got a sandwich and au jus. Oh well! I added cheese and it arrived nice and hot. The au jus was kind of salty but the sandwich was kind of bland, so it actually paired well. I wish it came with horseradish as when I took the other half home, the horseradish really brightened it! Overall, I would order from Agrusa's again. The portion was generous and sandwich was solid. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Can't speak much on service or ambiance since I had it delivered.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Decent menu options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Takeout only. No room for sit ddown dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is polite and takes orders quickly. Wait times for sandwiches vary 10-15 mins I got the meatball sub which was recommended by the cashier. It was ok. Nothing compared to others I've had. The spaghetti and meatballs were also very plain in flavor. read more

i have lived in Escondido for three years and never heard of this place? How?!!! My parents were over and my dad wanted sandwiches so i looked up subs nearby and saw Argusas had good reviews. The menu has A LOT on it. i got the #22 which they recommended. my dad got turkey barbecue and my son got the meatballs. I would've been happy eating any of these items because they were all so good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had the idea that we were gonna go sit somewhere and eat our sandwiches, but this is a tiny shop with basically a counter to order and no places to sit. So plan on taking your food to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was a girl and a man working both were very kind and helpful. Seriously, some of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life! I almost don't wanna leave this review and have the spot blow up too much because it is incredible read more

Agrusa's Super Sandwiches - #22 - Sandwiches Near Me - Escondido, California

This place has amazing sandwiches!! I got the Argusas original and even the half sandwich is big, typical 6inch sandwich or a little bigger. I ordered through door dash pick up and it was ready within 15 min. The area it is in has minimal parking in it and it is a very busy area. However, I will definitely go here again when I am in town! read more

First time customers. 10-15 minute wait for large sandwich and garden salad. $$, all was average. [[HIGHLIGHT]]No seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Crowded entry.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unsure we would be in this area at night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The sandwich was very tasty though not as much meat as I like. It is among the best for the area. Price was reasonable and I will try them again. The staff was friendly. I moved to this area from Orange County. Like I said, so far it's very good read more

First time customer. Tremendously delicious. Ordered the Original 8" with "everything." Was quoted 5-7min wait by the agreeable cashier. 2 min later my hot sandwich was ready. Will be my go-to sandwich place. read more

Great sandwiches.. the bread was nice and toasted. We had 3 sandwiches and they were all good. I liked the roast beef with the Au jus sauce. read more

We've been coming to Agrusas for the "Original Sub" over 45 yrs now. We've always left happily satisfied. The sub is warm and with every bite you get the delicious sub experience. I must warm you it has a little kick but you can ask them to hold if you don't want the extra kick. read more

Let me just tell you somethin...my golly do these guys know how to make a good sandwich. Wow! I went in to try it because I've heard of this place & was nearby & thought oh this is a good opportunity to try this place out. I ordered the smallest sandwich they had which was the 4". The lovely guy behind the counter said oh you'll be back for the 16"! And, well, he was absolutely right. I got the Original and as I was eating it I thought I was going to cry. It was SO GOOD. Like, exceptionally good. It was ridiculous. And yes, I will be back for the 16" next time!!!! read more

My husband & myself were so excited to try this place.... We love to support small family owned businesses, but in this case I don't think I will return. We walked in at 6:41pm to order sandwiches for dinner. There were 3 gentlemen that all yelled "were closed". [[HIGHLIGHT]]I felt bad, thought they were open, because the lights were all on etc.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] when we walked out 5 other people said yeah we're trying to figure out what to eat now too. So I looked on my phone it said THEY WERE OPEN!!! AT least they were supposed to be open. With this economy If you are supposed to be open, then be open, especially on a Friday night! So they lost their 5 sandwich order, our 3 sandwich order, and some new loyal customers all for closing early, hope it was worth it. read more

This rating is for the sandwiches. My husband ordered the hot pastrami and he said it been a while since he's had a good pastrami sandwich. And he eats out a lot. I ordered the tuna sandwich and boy Oh boy it made me want to delete the Jersey Mike's app! read more

Stopped by for lunch during a bike ride along the Creek Trail with my cousin. Picked up a delicious 16"Agrusa's Original. We wanted to ride to a park to relax and eat. Person behind the counter suggested Washington Park or Grape Day Park. Rode on to Grape Day Park. Very nice. Unwrapped the sandwich and we both devoured it. Soooo good!! I've known about Agrusa's since mid 70's. After all these years, quality is still top notch. Why are you going to Subway?!! Support locally owned businesses. Quality so much better. read more

Ordered sandwiches for one of our club's events. All of the sandwiches we ordered were delicious! Will definitely keep this on the rotation when we are looking for food options for events read more

I grew up in a small town that had some awesome sandwiches called "torpedos" and when the owner died and sold the place; we no longer had those sandwiches. Until now- I found Agrusa's! Ordered the submarine sandwich and wowza! Spot on delicious! I do recommend calling in to pick up because when I've been, there's a line and they get busy. But because ppl know how good this place is! I do need to try other sandwiches but I did have some pasta salad which was good. Not anything fancy but good. The prices are good for what you get. And the bread. Omg- perfectly freshly baked and it has the perfect toasted crunch to it. If I could eat here daily, and not get fat, I would!! The staff are quick and nice to help you. No complaints here! read more

Agrusa's Super Sandwiches - The submarine. Look how beautiful it looks and the bread, with a great toasted touch. Delish! - Sandwiches Near Me - Escondido, California

Agrusa's Super Sandwiches is the bomb. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tucked away in a less-than-glamorous part of town, right next to a tattoo shop, it's the kind of place that doesn't look like much but serves up the best sandwiches in the area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm a fan of their Agrusa's Original or the tuna, both of which are always made to perfection. They toast the bread and melt the cheese right into it, then load it up with all the tasty toppings. A half foot long usually costs me around $9, which is a great deal for the quality. The service is fast and efficient, almost like an assembly line, so I recommend calling in your order ahead of time so it's ready when you arrive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just a heads up, there's no place to eat or wait inside, so it's all about grab and go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

OMG! Love the crunch on the yummy Italian sandwich. I recently did a taste test with my hubby and we agreed, Agrusas was definitely a favorite! read more

Wow. Classic sandwich done so so well. The bread is phenomenal so it doesn't matter what you get. It'll be good. I got the turkey with all the trimmings and inhaled it. This one's a sleeper!! read more

The original & turkey are our favorites! So full of flavor & the bread/roll is fresh baked. Definitely the office favorite:)

I myself have not been there for quite a while, but my son goes there all the time he loves their sandwiches. I have a sandwich place a little closer to me so I go to that one now but they must be good. They've been open forever and Escondido so I'd have to say you can't lose if you go there Judging by my son, I would have to give this place a five star and the length of time it's been here a place doesn't stay open as long as this one has if it's not good read more

Friendly! Good quality food. Good quality packaging, not worried that it will leak. The sandwich was pre-cut which was convenient for sharing. read more

Had a couple a subs here and everything was excellent. Had them remove mustard from italian sub which is a common mistake in san diego. Employees are attentive and have pride in their little takeout only store. These places deserve our support. read more

I really enjoyed this location a lot. We went in for some sandwiches and the staff was very friendly and very informative. There is no room to sit and eat, but that is fine as well. The menu had quite a few options besides sandwiches as well. We ordered a meatball sandwich and a pastrami. They come in 8 or 16 inches. I actually got a few meals out of the 16-inch meatball sandwich, so that was good. Their bread is perfect; not too crunchy and not soggy. It added to the flavorful meatballs (and pastrami) so that was nice too. We also got a pickle that they split in four so we could share. Really tasty. For a great sandwich made by nice people, this is the place! read more

Anytime anyone asks for a deli recommendation I always suggest Agrusa's. I have eaten here since I was a child and it somehow tastes exactly the same to this day. Delicious. The "Agrusa's super submarine" is the route to go. Though, I do like their pastrami, tuna, and mortadella. The service is always great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a quaint, laid back shop where ya order and take your food to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've spoken to an owner of another very popular deli who he himself admitted, Agrusa's is top tier and the best of the best. I think that says something. 10/10. read more

The service was incredible, super polite and helpful. We didn't have to wait too long for our sandwiches which were made with care. We ordered a turkey sandwich with mozzarella and an Italian sub, and potato salad. Perfected toasted, yummy sub dressing- delicious. read more

I cannot believe I was 43 years old when I finally tried this iconic sandwich shop in Escondido. Being born and raised here I remember always driving past this place and seeing the painting of a girl and boy eating a sandwich. My parents never had taken us here. Wish they had. Actually when I mentioned about my incredible sandwich to my dad he replied, " I'm not sure why I never went there, that place was around even when I was a kid." Well a week ago I decided let's try this place during my visit back home. And my God I'm so happy I did. Our sandwich was so incredible and delicious. The staff was amazing and helpful. When I told them I was gonna save half of our sandwich for our road trip they said they would put dressings and such on the side so the sandwich would last longer. This place will now be a sure stop to add to my favorite places to eat at when I'm home visiting. People stop here if you never have. Get the Agrusa's Original Sandwich if it's your first time here. You'll be happy you stopped here. Mahalo Agrusa's and Staff You made my first time here a great experience and I'll be coming back for sure. read more

My first visit to this small, unassuming sandwich shop. I ordered the Agrusa Special, that is an Italian style toasted sub. It comes with mortadella and a few other deli meats. Absolutely delicious. The bread they make on site really makes the sandwich over the top. Basically every 8" sandwich is $8.20, the 16" sandwiches are just double the price. Will definitely return! read more

Have been coming to Agrusa's for years. Never disappoints. Very friendly people. Would definitely recommend this place.

Soooooo good. A friend was raving about this place so had to try it. All the ingredients were so fresh! My new go to sandwich spot.

I crave this place all the time!!! It has the best Italian subs I have ever had! Idk why it's not more well known in north county but for sure is the best!!!! read more

The highlight for me... the fresh bread! I treat myself to the mozzarella melt and pasta salad whenever I can lol the food is always so delicious! I usually call in my order for pick up and have never had to wait, which I also appreciate. read more

Is there anything better than a great sandwich? Well, yes, of course there is but for sandwich fans, put Agrusa's high on your list. They were swamped with customers as soon as the doors opened Saturday morning and it seemed almost everyone ordered the "Original." The Original. (Cheese, ham, pepperoni, salami, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.) is a delicious creation and their fresh crusty bread is very nice. The "half" sandwich is 8 inches long and that should satisfy anyone. Just keep your naughty jokes to yourself. This place is strictly for takeout and once you step inside, you'll see why. The ordering area is very small. You order at the counter and then receive a buzzer while you wait outside. Give them 15 minutes to create a wonderful sandwich. The potato salad is rich and creamy and the pasta salad, while a little salty, was also very good. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality and quantity. They've been around for 64 years. For good reason! read more

We stopped by on a whim after a tennis session and can see why they've been in the sandwich business for 60+ years! We tried the half (8" - perfect size) original with all the trimmings. The bread was toasted and definitely unique. The employees were super nice and helpful to us newbies. They gave us a buzzer so we could walk around the shopping center until our sandwiches were ready. And the prices are quite reasonable. Super yummy and we will definitely be going back to try out other menu items. read more
