    The food was very fresh and flavorful! Presentation was beautiful and service was very attentive for a party of 8.

    This is probably one of the more affordable places around the Cannery Row area. It's this cute little building away from the main streets and service is friendly. Both my husband and I got sandwiches which we thought tasted alright. I also noticed that they had some produce like fruits and vegetables for sale, too. We really just appreciated finding a quietier, more affordable place in the Monterey Bay Area when we visited for a day trip from the South Bay. We'd definitely come back here for a meal if we're in the area again, so I would recommend this place !

    Pretty good small little deli with good prices. The sandwiches are fresh and the restaurant has a very homey/local feel to it. I got the Rueben and it was pretty good, I'd recommend. Also a Mexican squirt! Don't see those everyday. Service was pretty quick and they do uber eats. I ordered ahead and picked up with no issues.

    This deli is hidden but it was super close to the Monterey Plaza Hotel and someone had mentioned they had lunch here. There are menus and then you can order when you know what you want but the area is cramped. There is also a lot of mismatched decor and TVs and mostly outdoor seating. I was in line to order but went to get a bottled drink and someone cut me in line. The line is very unclear. I ordered the breakfast and it came out hot but my favorite part was the English muffin, perfectly toasted. My husband got the breakfast burrito and I had ordered bacon inside but it came with sausage. Maybe would try for lunch.

    Perfect little hidden spot! Greeted with smiles by the host. Great selection of breakfasts items. Food and drinks were good. Overall great food and service.

    Cannery Row Deli in Monterey is a gastronomic destination for a totally enjoyable meal. My husband had their Ruben; pastrami, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut. I had the tuna salad without raw onions. Our food was delicious. José, the head manager, took our order. Jessica brought us our food when we sat outside in proximity of our unlocked e-bikes. We returned the next day and ordered the same lunch. We sat inside and it was like being in a museum in Mexico, such a rich cultural display of artwork. There was a young Freda Kahlo on the wall and the "Flower Seller" painting by Diego Rivera on another wall. There was also a sign in Spanish, "Dios bendiga este negocio" which in English means, "God bless this business." Isidro, Maggi, and Gerardo worked in the kitchen. They are such a wholesome and refined crew who worked seamlessly together. I hope that this one review brings them all the business that they can surely handle! In the meantime enjoy my photos. Such a great vibe, such good people, and delicious food and beverages, too! -Susan in Santa Cruz

    Wonderful service. Our son spilled his chocolate milk and they acted like it was no big deal and even brought him a new one. Food and coffee was yummy. Recommend the blended mocha.

    Mexican Coke!

    Great Chilaquiles! Sour cream just makes the spices go away, so I asked not to have it. There ended up not being spicy. :/ But the flavor of the sauce was great. The Chicken Club and he liked it. Was confused on the process of entering/ordering/seating but the people were nice enough to just keep it flowing. The place is very cozy tho which was nice.

    Half of the "bacon" protein in the breakfast burrito. The other half I tossed. Undercooked fatty and chewy gristle

    I ordered 2 breakfast burritos and I'm severely offended and disappointed. The "bacon" is all chewy fat gristle. The pic I posted is only half because I kept tossing it into the bag thinking it was a bad piece but then realized that was the protein. Even the dark red you expect to be bacon is chewy and gristle like. I didn't touch the 2nd burrito. Also could use a boost in flavor. Maybe locals don't like seasoned food

    My friends and I stopped by this deli really quick so we could stop by the beach and eat it there after! It's a quite small place on the inside but the seating area on the outside was soooooo cute and gave me such cozy vibes! I don't know how to explain it but it was cute because there were cute trinkets everywhere and pictures of family around! It looks like it's family owned and the owners were sooo sweet and cute! My friends and I ordered the Hot Salami and Roast Beef sandwhiches! Personally wasn't the best sandwhich I've had but it was good enough to fill me up and I was satisfied! This place is located on Cannery Row and right next to the beach so it's very convienent! Honestly, I'm not sure I would come back if I was back in the city since there are dozenssss of other delis around the city that I would probably rather try instead!

    Chorizo breakfast burrito. Nice size

    Nit bad deli. Definitely cheaper than most of the restaurant around the area and you get what you pay for. Quick service, friendly service and fast with your food. Hubby and I had their breakfast burrito. It was very good and a large portion. Though the drink was slightly pricey but I guess they have to make their money somehow. I am glad they also offer bagels as well. Service: A Quality: A Price: A We're definitely coming back here after our dive next time.

I'm 99% sure he still uses Molinari salami because the flavor, texture, and taste are absolutely impeccable. Italian dry salami quality in sandwich delis in the United States has drastically declined in the last couple decades. Not here though thankfully. The selection of uncommon chips and drinks is still top-notch...this has to be the only place I've ever seen Faygo in the Monterey area! The deviled eggs are still great also. I got there too late for broccoli salad. Bennett is still running the register, cracking jokes, and making smiles happen for his old regulars. And it looks like he has a really good crew currently. We will be back again and again. While I do enjoy the more upscale Italian sandwiches of Coniglio Bros on cannery row once in awhile, nothing slaps like a sandwich from an old school neighborhood minimart deli. This is the sandwich of your childhood, your teen years, and your early adulthood. This is how California nostalgia tastes.

    Fantastic! My friend…read morerecommended that we pick up sandwiches here before a Big Sur trip. I'm so glad she did - this place is great! If you'd like to order a sandwich, there is a picnic table outside with clipboards and order sheets. You can order off their very extensive menu of sandwiches, or create your own. There is a wide variety of bread, meat, and cheese options so everyone can find something they like. Be very cautious if you order a whole sandwich because saying they are huge is an understatement. When you are ready to order, you bring the sheet to the back left deli counter where they have their display and desserts. While we waited for our sandwiches, we took some time to look around the market. It is fantastic! The decor is lovely. The items they have in stock is also impressive. They have your basic items like chips and soda, but also a large international snack section. There are shelves of foreign chip flavors and drinks which is very neat. They also have a super wide variety of domestic products that you can't typically find everywhere. I was thoroughly impressed with all they have to offer. The sandwich itself was the cherry on the cake. It was the biggest sandwich I have ever seen. I was shocked at how thick and heavy it was. It was incredibly affordable too! It tasted delicious and very fresh. I will definitely be a repeat customer whenever I am in the area.

I've heard so much about this legendary, family-owned deli and market. I couldn't decide between a hot or cold sandwich, so I got both the Meatball Sandwich and the Roast Beef Sandwich on Dutch Crunch bread. These sandwiches were hefty and hit the spot. The meatballs were savory, and I loved that the bread soaked up the juices and tomato sauce. It was my first time trying The Dutch Crunch bread. The crispy, mottled outside and soft inside made for a fun textured sandwich. It didn't taste any different, but I thought the crackled crust was so unique. Service was friendly and efficient. She gave great recommendations for sandwiches. The market was handy to grab road trip snacks. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area.

I told him to make it however he thought it would taste best since I'm not a picky eater, and he absolutely delivered. The tri tip sandwich was so good! It was packed with flavor, the meat was tender and delicious, and the bread was just right. It ended up being such a great choice, and I'm so glad I took his recommendation.
