Excellent salads and sandwiches. Great family-run spot in Jamul. Just a few tables... so plan on takeout. read more

This place definitely gives you a large portion for your money. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese and added avocado and it was so big I ate it over 2 days... one sandwich could probably feed 2 people. All the local construction guys come here for lunch too, so you know it's worth the money. read more

The boyfriend found this spot on Yelp, so we decided to come out and give it a try. Let me say it was so worth the drive from Imperial Beach. My order: half a smoked brisket sandwich on a french roll and a cup of metball soup. The brisket was so tender and juicy! The sandwich was ginormous! The soup was tasty and packed with veggies and came with two thick slices of soft homemade bread. Bf order: Bravo on a multi grain roll and a small side of potato salad. This sandwich was a giant as well. So much meat! And it must have had a whole perfectly ripened avocado in it! The owners were very friendly and the service was fast. The dining area is small but tidy. The only downfall is the lack of public restrooms but that's not worth docking any of the 5 stars this place deserves! A must try! read more

I absolutely love a deli sandwich. These sandwiches are ginormous and they don't skimp on anything! I enjoyed the bravo sandwich which I believe was filled with turkey, ham, salami, lettuce, tomato and avocado. They did not skimp on anything and the sandwich was filled to the brim! In addition to their delicious sandwiches, their potato salad is a must along with their soup. That day, they had a yummy greek lemon chicken soup that was fantastic. Nothing beats a simple deli sandwich done right! read more

The gentleman making my sandwich didn't use gloves and had long arm hair exposed, but I still gave him the benefit of the doubt. I had one half of the sandwich and it was ok, the pastrami was a bit dry and bland though. The potato salad was bland, warm and possibly out of date. Then I got to the second half of the sandwich and noticed two hairs, one wrapped around a tomato and the other on the side of the sandwich. I recommend you use gloves in the future and possibly wear a long sleeve shirt. read more

What can I say but AMAZING! This is a serious hidden gem of old Rancho that is family run with some of the best sandwiches and salads you will find in all of San Diego. The small restaurant is family owned with Greek heritage and it shines through in all the food that is made fresh on site each day. First off, for the price the portions are HUGE...a small greek chicken salad is easily enough for 2 meals. I like the Bravo Sandwich on sourdough with roast beef instead of salami. The fresh roast beef is shredded as opposed to deli sliced and boy is it tended and seriously delicious. The potato salad, all soups, and honestly everything at the shop is a must try. You can taste the love and family values in the food. The shop is very small with limited seating, maybe 1-2 tables so defiantly call ahead and order to go. Service is exceptional, from the moment you walk in you are greeted with a smile and your order is ready to pick up. I believe the kids work the front while dad is in the back cooking. Smoothies are great and their bagel breakfasts sandwiches...ohhh. 15/10, phenomenal! read more

Just wanted to recognize this great little restaurant for their great shakes and smoothies and iced tea!

Really impressed with Bravo Cafe! Very friendly owners and large food portions. Thank you for such a pleasant dining experience!

Inconspicuously small deli spot in Jamul. When you pass by it may not look like much from the outside, but TRUST it's a hidden gem. Love this place - it's my favorite deli. It's family run by Manoli and his wife Rosio. Their son Milton also helps them out. They've been in business for almost 30 years. One bite of their pastrami sandwich will explain it all. They are so sweet and just the nicest and welcoming family. I love their consistency, every time you walk in the door you're greeted with a warm smile and food is always made with love. They don't make it til you order it and taste homemade. Give it a try and you'll find why they've lasted through time. From the sandwiches, their salads to their smoothies. You can never go wrong and the portions have not been affected by inflation. Same portion size. read more

This sandwich shop is a gem! I don't live in the area, but I always stop here when I'm in Jamul. The sandwiches are huge and the portions are very generous. You can easily share one sandwich and be stuffed. If you love sandwiches, this place is worth the visit. read more

Update 02/06/2021 Size and quality matters!!!! They don't skimp on anything! My turkey club on a roll is one of my favs... the bread, so addicting as it's soft and flavorful... the bacons crispy, the feta is divine on the small Greek salads and their house oil and vinegar dressing is delicious. The Mexican Mocha was yummy!!!! Updated review 01/14/2021 What can I say, the sandwiches are always large and in charge!!!! Even the half sandwich and salad combination is enough for two people!!! They made some modifications during Covid as it still only take out and it's always best to call it in. You enter through the main entrance and there are signs directing you to exit through the opposite side of the restaurant. They only allow one person in at a time. You are a couple feet away from the register and the person behind it. Ones change is provided on top of a basket that is covered in plastic. And don't forget to tip them. Today I had the bravo sandwich! It comes with ham, turkey and salami. I subtracted the ham as it's a little too salty for me and no tomatoes because I knew I was gonna have some in the salad. I got a watch that citric acid. Also on the sandwich is a ton of avocado, thinly sliced onions and shredded lettuce. I always choose to get it on the role which is so soft and delicious and it's coded nicely with some mustard and mayo. The sandwich is garnished with a slice of dill pickle on the side. The Greek salad is loaded with luscious green lettuce, onions, a few olives that are pitted, tons of feta cheese, sliced tomatoes, bread on the side and oil and vinegar dressing. It's absolutely deliciousness!!!!! I love coming to this local establishment and it's awesome to see them going strong!!!!! read more

Extremely overpriced for very basic food, that you could whip up in your own kitchen. Nothing really special about this place & not worth a 2nd trip in my opinion. Crafted Greens, Urbane Cafe or even Rosies Cafe have FAR better sandwiches. read more

Great food, even better people. Been coming here since high school. Brother in the back always loads up the sammies. Love this place.

In same little location along Hwy 94 in Jamul, California (San Diego eastern rural zone) for 30 years. Sit down, or take out. Secret of success is excellent homestyle cooking & quality of ingredients! Breakfast, Lunch, Sandwiches, Soups, Salads, Smoothies, Coffee, Pastries. Run by same family all this time, across the street from the 7-Eleven. Small parking lot, but worth the effort for good eats! Some menu items have a Mediterranean, or Greek influence, but plenty of comfort food items bring the regulars here, and the visitors making a trip out here. Make your order at the counter, then pick a seat, it won't be long wait. read more

Family owned and community appreciated. This place is literally a hidden jewel. Around for I think almost four decades Minoli and family pump out the biggest baddest freshest sandwiches salads and soups anywhere. Killer smoothies and the sweetest people. I've been going here since I moved my 8 week old and myself to San Diego. She's almost 16 now and it's still as fresh and delicious as the first time I sank my teeth in. read more

Bottom Line: a great mom and pop place for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and more. Everything is made to order and the folks are great people. The Good: great choices, fresh options, customize everything, and they'll even consider new stuff if you ask about it. The Bad: Sometimes there isn't enough seating and hours some times differ, but I'll gladly go back for food wherever I can. read more

Your abondgas was truly wonderful on a chili day like today, so glad you've stayed in business all these years.0

Went here after camping had a pleasant experience! The employees were very nice and patiently explained any questions we had about the food options. The place is small, so better for small groups (2-4 ppl). I was honestly surprised at how HUGE the sandwiches are. The yelp pics didn't do any sandwich justice like, that's a THICC sandwich. I finished it but I was full for the rest of the day . It's a great cafe to hit up! read more

Cozy little locally-owned establishment that serves great food and HUGE portions. A whole sandwich is enough for two to share, while a half sandwich is equivalent to what many places consider a whole. Prices can creep up on you though. We ordered two half sandwiches to-go and nothing else and the bill came to over $17. Turns out the special for the day, a brisket sandwich, was $9.50 for a half. For that price it would have been nice if they threw in chips or a small side. Delicious shakes and coffee drinks as well. read more

Sandwiches are the BOMB! Big servings, overstuffed, great bread. I bought a smoked pastrami on a multi grain roll and got two meals from it. That being said, I had to stop myself from eating it all at one sitting because it tasted so good. The wife got a small salad with roasted chicken and it must have been 3 pounds of food. Great value! I support family businesses and these folks are hard working and salt of the earth. Two thumbs up. read more
