She was working at the nearby Timber Fire (Big Sur) & needed a hearty meal before returning to her hotel for the night. She had one of the lamb wraps with a salad. It was HUGE & provided her leftovers. Wildland fire crews have a tough job & eating enough calories during their shifts is important. She said it was very tasty. I wasn't very hungry & don't usually eat alot of animal products, so I opted for the kids' cheese pizza with fresh olives. It was pretty bad. The olives weren't the best kind for cheesy pizza -- too flavorful & competed with the pizza. The crust was awful -- thick & flavorless. The cheese -- too much & boring. My dinner was a bust. My small Diet Coke was perfect. I won't return, but if you're the kinda person who loves Mediterranean-style wraps, this is your place!!

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.

Starting with the Supercharger, this was easily the standout of the two. It's loaded with roast beef, bacon, turkey, ham, salami, pepperoncini, tomatoes, red onions, gouda cheese, and chipotle aioli on a ciabatta roll. They definitely don't skimp on the meat, which makes it super satisfying. The combination of the soft ciabatta and cheese worked really well together and balanced out the heaviness of the meats. My only complaint is that it could've used a bit more sauce, something like extra mustard or mayo would've taken it to the next level. Still, a strong 8.5/10. The Belair was decent but didn't quite hit the same level. It came with turkey breast, bacon, gouda cheese, spring mix, tomatoes, red onions, pepperoncini, and chipotle aioli on fresh sliced sourdough. Ours actually came with American cheese instead of gouda, which slightly changed the flavor profile. It was a good sandwich overall, but noticeably drier, especially with the sourdough, so it definitely needed more sauce to bring everything together. I'd give it a 7.2/10. Service was fast and efficient, which I appreciated. The ambiance stood out too, it has a cool retro gas station vibe that gives the place some personality and makes it feel unique. Staff was friendly, and the overall experience was smooth.

When we arrived they had a small parking lot but busy because they do a lot of Door Dash and Uber Eats business. Once inside I took a quick look at the menu and saw they had breakfast burritos of either Chorizo-Sausage-Ham-Bacon or Veggie. I chose Chorizo breakfast burrito($10.39) The shop is run by the owner-he was the cashier and the cook. In talking to him,he was telling me that his family owns multiple Mexican small shops like this in the Juarez Mexico area and El Paso Texas area.Says that all the shops use the same recipe for their hot sauce that is served with the burritos. Once the burrito arrived,it was both heavy and warm.Once I cut it open,I was able to appreciate the craftsmanship of this burrito in all its chorizo,egg,potato and cheese glory-it was beautiful. As pretty as it was though,it tasted even better,I had planned on only eating half of it as I had a tee time in less than an hour but one bite led to another and then it was gone. I've had many breakfast burritos in my day and as unexpected as this is to say,this may have been the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Also the aforementioned family-recipe hot sauce that came with the burrito was so spicy yet so tasty--perfect combo to a perfect burrito. In closing,if you ever find yourself in the Monterey area and you want to treat yourself to some upper echelon breakfast burritos-do yourself a favor and stop at 3 Mundos sandwich shop-a top tier food experience awaits.
