First impression of this small deli is that the staff are very friendly and welcoming. It's awesome. They truly make you happy to do business with them. I work in the area so I like to order my lunch over the phone and pick it up . The sandwiches are outstanding here. They have an incredible amount of sandwiches to choose from. My mother absolutely loves the San Diego Native. She told me it's the best sandwich she's ever eaten. That made me happy to hear her so happy about her meal here. My daughter loves the chicken club and the Reuben is my favorite. We are so stoked we discovered this great deli. read more

I had a fantastic Hot pastrami sandwich. The meat was perfectly cooked. The sandwich was prepared perfectly. This place knows how to make sandwiches. Don't think twice about coming here. read more

First time ordering from here and called in my order around 10 30. Got the San Diego native on sourdough and the Cindy hot pastrami and one of each of the soups, tomato basil, and potatoe bacon. Let's start with the soups both were hot and creamy with the potato having a good amount of cheddar cheese on top! The Cindy special was delicious and layered perfectly, and the bread held up to all the juices coming out of the sandwich! The SD native was also delicious as you really can't go wrong with bacon and avocados. However, they put it on wheat instead of the ordered sourdough and were a bit shy with the bacon. Overall a great spot and can't wait to try another sandwich. Oh you can check in and get a free small side or bag of chips! read more

Ahhhhh, Feels like a NYC Bodega! It has that type of feel. Sometimes you just need a good sandwich in your life. A family owned restaurant that always puts a smile on my face. I've been eating there since COVID and there food has never disappointed. Someone please tell me a better Sandwich shop in San Diego???? I'll wait...Nobody disagrees....I thought so...Here aren't positive's 1. An Abundance of Sandwiches I guarantee whatever you order you won't be disappointed. This place is a dope lunch spot for some quick eats. 2. Service with a smile Sometimes you just want to eat your food and feel as though your a valued customer. That's how I feel here. The owner's are always so polite and they ask you how you are doing . 3. Wait time There is none. I am always in and out in 5 to 10 minutes. The Negatives 1. Potato Chips If you are like me, you like to eat chips with your sandwich. I need them to get bigger size bags of chips. I always have to go to Walmart after I get my food to get chips. That's just my preference but everyone is different. 2. Only location I hope the owners are thinking about opening a location downtown. Think about it, after the clubs let out all the drunk people want food. All in all. It's time to expand. 3. Turkey Products Offer an Turkey Bacon Option for customers who want Bacon on their Sandwiches. A lot of people are staying away from pork nowadays. Customer Service (10/10) Ambiance (9/10) Reminds me of NYC Food Quality (10/10) Food Taste (10/10) Take my word for it. Food is read more

The food? Top tier! The Deli is a little shop, nothing grand or spectacular, but their sandwiches are. GET THE GARLIC GRILLER. Service is quick and when we had a major order to put in, it was done before I even go to the place, and I was working less than 3 miles away. The inside is cozy, for lack of a better term, but I grab my sandwiches to go and listen to less radio friendly shows on my phone anyway. Great place with great people! read more

Soooo I've now been here two days in a row since I just started working down the street -- it's kinda dangerous for my wallet, but my belly is always happy and craving a good sandwich! I'm so happy my boss recommended Cajon Pass Deli. I'm a vegetarian, so I can't speak for a majority of the sandwiches, but the veggie on wheat is amaaaazing! I already want another one just thinking about it. I also have to add that the service is super quick and so friendly :) read more

Visiting El Cajon on business and stopped at the Cajon Pass Deli, best food choice. It's my second time eating here and everything is delicious. Highly recommend it. I ordered the Chicken Cordon Bleu. Service and ambiance is amazing! Thanks!! read more

Great food at great prices! Also this is a family run business, Husband, wife, son and daughter. Lots of parking too!!

So the other day we had to get something for lunch but we couldn't have a sit down. One of my coworkers said hey did you try El Cajon pass deli? To which I answered no! My friend was very upset that I had lived in the area for four years and have not tried it. Well we did go and I was blown away by the number of different sandwiches that were on the menu. Each sandwich was numbered if you take a look at the menu you'll see. Not to confuse myself or waste so much time I chose number one which is the "San Diego". Is bacon turkey lettuce tomatoes avocado. I had a chance to either have it on white bread sourdough bread and a plethora of other breads however I went with the croissant. Which was really good. My coworker got a lettuce wrapped excel at sandwich which she could not stop raving about. So if you are in the El Cajon area on Cuyamaca and want to get a good lunch sandwich look no further than the El Cajon pass Sandwich shop. It looks like a mom-and-pop type place family on most likely so I felt good about giving them my business....try it out! I don't have any pictures because we ate so fast because sandwiches were great! read more

This deli is great , bomb sandwiches/salads & good service everyone is super friendly and quick ! Definitely recommend trying it out

Omg the New York and the Cindy are the best sandwiches I've ever had!!! I can't believe I passed by thousands of times and never stopped

Fantastic Rueben, great egg salad, Basically to go but one table inside and another two outside. Fast and friendly.

I only "discovered" El Cajon Pass Deli ~1-2 mon ago but, since doing so, I've returned ~6x. Why? Because their food choices, food quality and taste, and employees are all great. Any selection I made tasted better than its counterpart I've had elsewhere. Moreover, the folks who work there are uniformly friendly and helpful. I strongly recommend ECPD for anyone interested in good breakfast/lunch food served by people who appear to enjoy their work towards serving people good food. read more

Excellent service and very good food. Perfect breakfast sandwich. Type of place where you walk in and they make you feel like home. Very amiable and you can tell they care about their clientele.
