Clean and plenty of seating. They have a ton of chip and drink options, as well as potato and macaroni salad. Gentleman working was extremely kind and helpful. I chose to build my own and it was amazing! Im a sandwich lover and this was a delicious great priced sammy. My daughter got the exact sandwich I did and she loved it as well. They were good sized too, I ate half and had to the other half for later. I'm so excited I found this place so close to home.

This was my delicious ham and Swiss on rye with Dirty potato chips.

This was my first time to visit Deli Belly. I'm from New York and a love a good deli sandwich. I ordered the New York ham and Swiss on rye and I was not disappointed! They have a nice selection of rolls and bread. The rye bread was soft and fresh. They use Boar's head meat, so of course the meat was great. I usually only eat 1/2 a sandwich, but it was so tasty that I kept going for "just one more bite". So good. They carry Dirty brand potato chips and had my favorite, Maui onion. They carry bottles drinks as well as fountain drinks. There's a good selection to choose from. You can dine inside or out. I chose the inside. The deli was clean and organized. There are big windows that let in a lot of sunlight. Justine made my food. She was friendly. I enjoy good service! I'll be back!

Service: was fine and attentive Food: the sandwich it self was filling. I got a chipotle Gouda sandwich one of their selections, it comes with chipotle Gouda and chipotle chicken and chipotle mayo which where the main taste of the sandwich not so much the mayo. It also has avocado and pepperoni but I did not notice them much. It could use extra avocado as only one of my half's had a decent portion the other side had a smear of avocado. Ambiance: the space it self is very open and clean with music playing. Relax setting to eat a sandwich

I was looking for a new deli in the area and found Deli Belly; Thankful!My sandwich was amazing. The bread was soft. The sandwich was perfect & was delicious! The service; the two girls, were friendly, both with smiles & both very helpful since it was my first time at the Deli. The whole deli was, big clean lots of places to sit, inside & out! There's a variety of desserts, drinks, chips and gelato bars. Definitely can't wait to go back again.

I was pretty underwhelmed with my sandwich. It was my first time visiting and I wasn't familiar with the menu. One thing that really didn't help was the very tall counter that made communicating with the employees more difficult. My wife, who is, let's say... not tall, had an even more difficult time and basically I had to play telephone between her and the employee to communicate her order. I got the Frankie and was asked what kind of bread I wanted. I didn't really know what kinds of breads they offer and expressed that to the employee and they basically looked back at me like "git gud at ordering" so I picked sourdough because as I frantically searched for the information on their menu board that's the first thing I saw. Later I read the menu description and it says it comes on a sub roll and I think that would have really made the sandwich better. Overall it was a bit on the bland side. I did have them hold the mayo so maybe I should have asked for extra Italian dressing, but with the sourdough bread that might have made things really soggy. I don't live in the area so unlikely that I'll get a chance to try them again. There were three places right in that area that we were considering eating at and I feel like we would have been happier getting Pho or Greek nearby.

This shop looks small from the outside, but they're quite spacious indoors! They have lots of seating, and large fridges full of cold drinks. There's also a HUGE display of chips at the front counter. The staff I met today were a bit shy/ quiet, but really quick. They recommended the white loaf with the spicy Italian sandwich ingredients. I really enjoyed my food! My sandwich had a great balance of pepperoni, salami, lettuce, beefsteak tomatoes, jalapeños, mayo, and spicy mustard. The French loaf tasted really fresh as well. Toasting it was a good choice for sure!

Kyle V.

This is an above average sandwich shop. Not the best and there are others in San Diego I would go to first. However, this place does make a good sandwich. It's a no frills place and they have great options for toppings with a great chipotle mayo sauce. I got the chipotle sandwich in a spinach wrap and it was loaded with meat. There really is no ambiance so this is a grab and go type place. No service to be amazed by because even the employees treat this as a grab and go place; get your food and they are in to the next customer.

Deli Belly is slowly making its way farther west in East County with this new outpost in La Mesa. They occupy a corner suite in a strip mall off Parkway Drive where parking was plentiful in the lot. The inside had a lot of empty space presumably due to the chairs and tables being put away because of no indoor dining allowed. Boar's Head meats and cheeses were featured ingredients for their sandwiches. The menu had about 25 cold and hot signature sandwiches priced at $9.95 each. I chose The FA which contained top round corned beef and pastrami along with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and 1000 island dressing on an onion roll. The sandwich was neatly assembled and tightly wrapped in wax paper. The meats were of high quality and the dressing complemented all of the other ingredients nicely. The worker was pleasant and patient while I took the time to scan over the menu board. For price and quality, I gave Deli Belly a four star rating.

This is Deli Belly's third location. I've been to the location in El Cajon several times with good results. This time around I thought everything was just okay. I had the Firefighter which came with turkey, roast beef, and bacon on a squaw roll. I asked for deli mustard to be added to the sandwich but they did barely put some on the sandwich. Although the sandwich was tasty, I thought the sandwich could of used more roast beef and turkey. Given the ratio of the thick bread, I could not get a good taste of the beef and turkey. Also, the bread was a little on the try side. Everything else was fine, the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh, but one layer of Provolone cheese is just not going to cut it. I want to taste it! The place is nice and clean and they offer a small amount of outside seating.

Hidden gem in La Mesa. I always like to support local business especially family owned. The sandwiches here are excellent. This deli uses boar's head meats which is hands down the best. I had the chipotle so Gouda sandwich and it was very flavorful, full of quality toppings and chicken. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The manager Venus was very polite and had great customer service. I'm probably never going back to Jersey Mike's after trying this place.

Peter T.

Pretty good sandwiches at very good prices. A nice surprise is that sandwiches are built FAST. You won't be waiting for 20 minutes as you do at Cheers Deli up on Navajo. Speaking of Cheers Deli I would say Deli Belly slots itself in the middle between Submarina on the lower end, and Cheers on the higher end. Freshness is very much there, but quality leans to standard. It's consistent and of nice quality but it's not too much different than something you could make at home since they're using Boar's head products. Their bread however is spongy, airy, and delicious. Prices are super reasonable. An 8.5 inch classic sub, a bag of chips, and a soda will run you $13.

Chips and counter where the magic happens!!

Marco D.

This place is a gem! I probably have had most of the sandwich and wraps in this place. So far, no issues whatsoever. Great customer service delicious food. The portion leaves you super full after the meal. Heck! You might have to take them home...but you should eat it the same day. It will get soggy!! Not their fault but yours :) Good music, clean and very breezy. You wont be sweatin. My overall score for this place is 5/5. This place deserves much more. Thank you Deli Belly.

Anthony B.

I dont normally write reviews like this... But this one truly bugged me. This is is hand down the lamest cold sandwich I've ever bought. There is a single layer of every meat, and it is all sliced extremely thin. Every veggie added is sprinkled on in extremely sparing amounts. The bread is massive, has a stale texture, and has an odd flavor. It is almost exactly like the bread on a 4 dollar sub from 711. The price of the sandwich was astronomical for the lame sandwich they provided.

I've been to the Rancho San Diego location a few times for takeout and it was nice that they took over the old Subway location for this place. The employees are pretty friendly and patient with kids. Mine is kind of picky and they take the time to go over options etc. We've ordered inside a couple times, but usually I order online and pick it up. It's a pretty clean shop and it's well organized. I prefer this location as it's much easier for me to get to. They have a varied menu of sandwiches, soup, salads, chips, desserts, beverages, and even fruit snacks, it's kid tested and approved. You can also make your own sandwiches if you aren't interested in ordering off the menu. read more

Yearning to try for several months now only to be disappointed. It's 12:45p. The lunch rush is over and our family is hungry and wanted something different today so we think let's try that Deli Belly!!! Phone in, pick-up order for our family of five. Request all sandwiches be toasted. Mind you I asked three times to toast the breads- none were. Settling down with our yummy fare I noticed my sandwich isn't toasted. And the tomatoes were all green?! Mine included the core! How utterly disappointing!After pulling all green tomatoes off and trying to butter and toast the bread. The sandwiches were good. But when did the communication get lost? So I called informing owner or manager (She never said) of the green tomatoes and the fact none of the sandwiches were toasted. Their response was basically " Your order was ready and you were late. I responded with what does that have to do with not toasting the bread? Isn't that first? Or the placing one red tomato slice on the Turkey and multiple green unripe ones throughout? The appropriate thing to do would be to inform the caller if whether we minded the Green tomatoes? Or prefer to leave it off since you said all your recent shipments were undeveloped. The manager was unapologetic for the inconvenience and basically blamed me for coming 8 minutes late when picking up our order. Wow! And huh?!?! There is a fantastic place for yummy subs and sandwiches near the 8 called DZ Akins. Go there. I know we will!!! read more

Very happy to have this close to home! We've been 4 times in 3 weeks, so that speaks for itself! As you can see, they pile on the meat. And the build-your-own sandwich is a great deal because it's a dollar less than the specialty sandwiches, but you can still add as many veggies as you want to it (avocado and bacon are extra I believe). They also have macaroni and potato salads (they were a little on the sweet side, so FYI if that's not your deal) there is also a soup of the day and salad options. Super clean and following Covid safe measures. The only thing is, they are good so they're also busy and your order can take a little longer (10/15 min) because they get a lot of called in orders that they are trying to fill along with yours. I once tried calling in however and the phone just rang and rang, so I think they're just busy and can get a little backlogged. That being said, so worth it for a solid sandwich! read more

I'm sure it would have been even better if I had eaten it while it was fresh and hot. Service was friendly, and my order was prepared in about five minutes. There were a handful of spots to sit inside and some outside seating. Ambiance was super casual (order at the counter and wait for your name to be called type place). I will definitely return again!

Food overpriced for what u get. Service - none…read moreAmbiance - loud and noisy If u prefer a quiet place to eat, dont come here. Better to get takeout and eat in your car. I ordered some soup and French Fries only because my companion likes their food. So, if u dont mind throwing $20 away to eat your food outside in uncomfortable chairs were the flies congregate, go ahead.

Captain's Log, Stardate 21509.7…read more This past Friday I set my course for Did Z Akins in La Mesa -- a roadside star on I‑8 that my crew and I had passed a thousand times but never boarded. At long last we beamed down, and the experience surpassed every expectation. From the moment we entered, the atmosphere felt like coming home to a welcoming starbase. The staff treated us with genuine warmth and patience as we navigated a menu full of storied classics. Their attentive service turned a simple meal into a memorable mission. My first officer aka wife enjoyed a superbly composed salad, and chose the Turkey Club -- both delivered with thoughtful care. I began with the biscuits and gravy, a traditional hit that tasted like comforting shore leave. But the true highlight was the patty melt: perfectly seared, with lush caramelized onions and melted cheese that achieved harmony at warp speed. It was, without hyperbole, the best patty melt I've encountered in this quadrant. Each bite was a cascade of flavor that felt like discovering a thriving new world. This kitchen knows how to respect ingredients and execute classics flawlessly. No extra condiments were necessary -- the craftsmanship spoke for itself. DZ Akins is now a plotted course for every future convoy through I‑8. Highly recommended for anyone seeking honest, stellar diner fare and service that treats you like family among the stars. Captain 619, stay salty my friends!

Valley Farm Market

A few weeks back I was hanging out with an old friend and as we started discussing lunch, poke came…read moreto mind. It sounded good but we also weren't really feeling like going "out" and something that could be delivered or that we could pick up seemed like the better play. All the typical poke places showed up when we searched but none of them really sold us. Well, good thing I remembered that Valley Farm's poke game is strong... really strong. Believe me, I know that those of you who don't know Valley Farm will likely say "really?" when I detail that this sleepy little Spring Valley market kicks out poke as good as anywhere else in SD, but it's true. It's a sleeper of a choice but the quality and price will make you a fan, trust me.

Valley Farms Market is one of San Diego's hidden gems. From the moment you walk in, you can feel…read morethe difference. The store is clean, beautifully organized, and filled with high-quality products you don't always find at larger chain grocery stores. What I love most is their fresh selection, especially the produce, specialty items, and unique gourmet finds. Everything looks vibrant and carefully displayed. You can tell they take pride in what they offer. They also have a full butcher shop with everything you could desire. The selection is impressive, and it's wonderful knowing you can get high-quality cuts prepared fresh right there in the store. It adds such a personalized, old-fashioned market feel that you just don't see everywhere anymore. Another favorite of mine is their fresh-pressed cold juice blends, which I absolutely love. They taste incredibly fresh, and you can truly tell the difference in quality. It's such a treat to grab one while shopping. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It truly feels like a neighborhood market where customer service still matters. Whether I am picking up everyday essentials or something special for a gathering, I know I will find something wonderful here. If you appreciate quality, variety, and a pleasant shopping experience, Valley Farms Market is definitely worth a visit. I always leave happy!

On my last visit, I went a little off-menu and ordered a chile verde omelette. I already knew their chile verde was legit from past visits, so I had them add it in--and wow...absolute flavor bomb. Tender, rich, and perfectly balanced with the eggs. One of those simple upgrades that turns a solid breakfast into something memorable. The potatoes were crisp, the toast was on point, and everything came out hot and fresh. You can tell they take pride in what they're putting out. If you're in the area and want a reliable, no-nonsense breakfast spot with great flavors, this is it.

This place has good customer service and it's located in the back of a clean liquor store. Would I come back? Not likely.

Don't sleep on the shrimp, they are insane. My friend got the fried rice mixed shrimp and steak and chicken and it could have fed four people LOL. Last we got a spicy roll I forget the name, but it was amazing with fresh wasabi on the side. Overall 10/10 still will always come back to this place I'm obsessed. Super cute spot for date night!

Hacienda Cazadores, made us feel very welcoming. We were at a table within a minute of checking in at the host table. We were offered indoors or patio area. With the nice weather out we chose outside. Despite that our waiter Mike, continuously continued to make sure we were well taken care of and made us feel very welcoming comfortable. He was very fast paced, we didn't have to wait much for our food. (: The food was amazing & very decent sized even for the kids menu. It was savory, juicy and the right amount of spicy. We got the molcajete, enchiladas, Shrimp/Chicken Quesadillas. We will definitely come back no questions asked. Again, thank you Mike for the wonderful, amazing customer service and hospitality. Waiters/ Waitresses like you are the reason we come back.

You can truly taste it in every bite. Service was 10 out 5. Only reason I rate it higher than anything else is because that is what will make me come back time and again to try everything on the menu. The entire staff was exceptional. Above all our waiter made sure to explain what makes this place extraordinary and worth the dining experience. His recommendation of the short ribs was tge perfect choice. Highly highly recommend. Thank you so much Cesar!
