I'm glad I finally had a chance to try this place. Would always see it when I picked up my tailoring next door. Finally a place with a solid Latte and breakfast. I went with the Armenian breakfast and it was perfect. Definitely savory and the portion is very generous. I was stuffed and full the whole day. The coffee is strong and is really smooth. I like coffee for the coffee taste I'm not one to get syrups and all those add ons so I'm really happy with this. I'll def come back. read more

Deli Nerds - Armenian Scramble - New American Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Really good food!! The burger sliders and French dip were the best. Restaurant was clean. Staff was lovely!

Well trying to find a last minute place to eat on a Saturday night we found deli nerds. Put a person experience! The service was over the top they really went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was excellent as well. Highly recommended! read more

I came here twice in one week to see if it was consistent. First visit, I got a bacon breakfast burrito and a chorizo breakfast burrito. I tried the bacon first since it's generally my favorite type of breakfast burrito... my first thoughts were that it was kinda plain and they didn't give enough salsa. Then I ate the chorizo and was pretty impressed. I also appreciated that they walked my order out to my, as I was waiting outside. Second visit, I didn't order the bacon again because it was underwhelming. I ordered the chorizo again because I really like it the first time and then I also got the sausage breakfast burrito. As I waited outside, I noticed several customers who came after me but got their order before me. Then one of the girls comes out and hands me one box, I gave her a confused look because I had ordered two burritos; she didn't realize this and went back in. In total, I waited about 30 min for my burritos to be ready. After taking a bite of both burritos, I realized that they both had hash browns and the bacon one that I ordered earlier in the week was missing it all together! Not sure if they gave me somebody's else order "without hash browns." read more

Saw a TikTok clip they wanted to try something different than the normal routine for a lunch. Hang on Saturday. Should've known it might be problematic cause there was just too many choices of proteins. Probably no way to really keep them all fresh. Very underwhelming experience with poor service. The girls that were working, seemed more concerned about restocking and not attending to customers read more

our experience here was so good! We were on a hunt for Caesar salad wraps and we found the best ones here and they definitely did not disappoint! Also specifically a guy named Ren was helping us out the entire time and he was so nice to us, made sure we had everything we needed, and just had amazing energy!! He was such an amazing person and he made our experience great! read more

So fresh and so tasty! Randomly stopped here for lunch the other day. I had tried their catering awhile back and it was wonderful. It's a cute little spot with a cool patio in Costa Mesa. The staff were super friendly and I even got to meet the owners. I went with the kebab bowl with sirloin and it came with the most delicious garlic sauce. A perfect sized portion as well. Will definitely be back read more

They have to cutest spot ever! They have super cool events all the time. I love this restaurant so much

Such a great vibe and food was excellent. Ren took great care of us. We will be back.

We love a good deli for no fuss sandwiches, salads, bowls, etc. for just an every day meal. Deli Nerds has generous portions for anything but boring salads plus generous sandwiches and sliders with creative combination of toppings and seasonings. They also do catering and have a meal prep service. The staff are helpful, the ingredients are fresh and healthy, and the ease of service is as simple as grab and go from the cold case or put together the perfect order for whatever you are feeling with the help of the staff. Indoor and outdoor seating. Kid, family, and pet friendly. read more

I seen a IG post that showed a $5.00 burrito in Costa Mesa!! I was in disbelief, I thought no way , and thought to myself it's probably not that good or it's small . Well I got proved wrong , it was AMAZING!! Chopped full of bacon, the right amount of egg and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. Most of all the cheese was evenly spread throughout the burrito. This is the best bang for your Buck and a must try , especially in these hard times . Get out and support local business Thank you Deli Nerds read more

Lots of flavor. Cubano sliders 100%! Outdoor seating, friendly service. Food is much better than the name implies. Big menu, will have to go back to try other items. read more

The sliders are so good! We had the French dip, banh mi and smash burgers and all were 10/10. You should go.

I never really leave bad reviews so I hate to do this but This place was extremely over priced for such small servings and burnt food. I ordered 2 of the smash burgers "customer favorite" and got two burnt overcooked burgers that were almost inedible. The "caramelized onions" were dry and burnt, the patty was the same, and even the bread was black. The service was okay, the lady was nice enough to come bring our food out to us when it was ready! The place itself also looked super nice but for the price the portions were WAY too small and the food was not of high quality! i'll attach photos of my burnt slider below! read more

@delinerds is a women owned restaurant that's healthy and delicious which specializes in sliders, bowls, salads, and wraps. They even do meal prep and catering. All of their food is made seed oil free. They even have a cute outdoor covered patio which is perfect for enjoying the weather. And best of all they're participating in OC Restaurant week and you can even grab some meals for $15! Located at 1525 E Mesa Verde Costa Mesa CA 92626 My favorite thing to order was their eclectic and classic sliders on their OC Restaurant week menu, the Baja bowl with shrimp which is perfect for this Lent season, and the bbq chopped salad. read more

I am so glad I found this place. Such a cool vibe. The food is soooo goodHannah, Kate, and REN are so sweet!!!!

The service was great and the food delicious. Fresh and good quality ingredients. I'll definitely come back.

Ordered some lunches for my daughter's birthday party. We had chicken, French dip, Italian and Caribbean sliders and chicken kabobs. My favorite was the French dip sliders. The group did the escape room upstairs and then had lunch on the patio in front of the store. Heather who I worked with was very accommodating and easy to talk to. She also let me keep some desserts in their fridge. The day was actually a bit chilly since it was cloudy so they also turned on the heat lamps which really was nice. read more

If you order one of their 8-9 a.m. $5 breakfast burritos Expect a long wait and a cold just pulled from the package flour tortilla, it's not worth the wait. read more

I went to Deli Nurse because a friend of mine told me that they had five dollar burritos Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 10 AM. I've had many breakfast burritos in my day and I have to say that Deli nerves breakfast burritos rank up there in the top five for the price they were nice and warm. They were tasty. I've tried all three chorizo was great bacon burrito, great and also the ham burrito was awesome. All breakfast burritos for five dollars you can't beat it. It's definitely worth it by two by all three why not I did. read more

Deli Nerds absolutely nailed it for our office lunch. The catering was delivered right on time, set up perfectly, and everything was fresh and delicious. My team has not stopped talking about it and several people asked when we are ordering again. Huge thanks to Tina and her crew for making office lunches this easy and impressive. If you want catering or office lunches that truly impress, Deli Nerds is the way to go! read more

We had such high hopes for this place bc we live close & they advertise no seed oils & grass fed meat. We ordered the French Dip Sliders (3 count) & the Chicken Kabob sliders (3 count). The French Dip had hardly any meat & it was dry. The saving grace was dipping it into the au jus. We were expecting a warm soft bun but it was dry as well. The ratio to beef & bun - the bun won. The chicken was dry as well & tasteless. The tomatoes weren't ripe & they were hard in texture. Everything felt like it had been sitting for awhile, when in fact we got the food in a timely manner. We got there early and we were the only customers besides a family who were already eating. On a good note, the gentleman who waited on us was very informative & courteous. He brought out to go food out to us while we waited, which was no more than 10 minutes or so. We like to check out all the new restaurants on Instagram & I'm sorry to say we won't be back. read more

Ate here for the first time but not my last. Everything is so delicious can't be describe only needs to be tasted. Welcoming staff very clean and top notch. Great outside dining area just to chill and enjoy their wonderful food. Highly recommended and you won't be disappointed read more

My husband picked up a couple of bacon breakfast burritos today and we were both so pleased! They're piping hot and the ingredients are perfectly portioned and mixed. No gigantic bites of just egg here - a supreme balance of all elements in every bit. The salsa was tasty as well. Husband said the folks working there were kind as well. We will certainly be back! read more

The music there tonight was so awesome and chill. I didn't eat there. I was just sitting in my car, enjoying the music. I hope they can continue with this artist. read more

Stopped in for the first time today. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. They feature a very diverse menu with clean ingredients, and are very accommodating with nutritional restrictions. Seems to have a fun culture and our server Kyle was extremely helpful and kind! read more

First time here and I was blown away. Staff was super nice and helped us navigate the menu...can't wait to cone back and try EVERYTHING. The problem? The Mediterranean Bowl is gonna live in my head rent free and I'm probably only ever gonna get that again I did taste my bf's BBQ BOMB slider and it was SO tasty. Pretzel Bytes - i'm a fan but they could use a small fluff of coarse salt, imo. Such a cute outdoor patio area too. Very nice hang out spot. read more

I'm excited to come back! I ordered the teriyaki bowl to go and it was okay. The ingredients weren't super flavorful but once I added the spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce it was better. I would totally order something different next time! I saw a couple outside sharing sliders and a salad and I will definitely do that next. Lots to choose from on the menu and the vibe is nice. The staff were SUPER friendly. I liked Great Mex Grill but I'm happy to have this spot as another local options for quick bites. read more

I cannot believe this place exists. It's truly a hidden gem. There is nothing negative to say about it: Staff is friendly and cares about their food and customer experience. Huge variety of breakfast lunch and dinner items. Literally something for the whole family and all palates. Real, whole, fresh, organic ingredients that you can taste. Excellent, fair pricing. HAPPY HOUR 3-6. I cannot wait to eat my way through this entire menu!!! Mediterranean sliders were INSANE. Devoured them too quickly to photograph. read more

Saw this place on Instagram and it looked good. Grass fed beef etc... they have different sliders but the roll seemed stale and felt like it should have been warmed. The smash burger slider was okay and the beef dip was bland. They forgot the caramelized onions and were out of au jus broth but didn't tell us until after we got the sandwich so needless to say it was pretty dry! I guess I should have gone with a breakfast burrito. read more

The service is amazing. Super helpful and nice. All the sandwiches that I tried were yummy. Great little hidden gem.

Went on a Duffy boat ride with friends and we had an order of the smash burger sliders, heritage ham special sliders and the charcuterie board. It was all good. Highly recommend and will definitely be ordering again read more

I absolutely loved this place! It was my first time going with my cousin who lives out there and it was so fun! The owner is amazing and so kind and fun. She helped us and told us what she likes to get so I got it all! I have to say my favorite dish was the teriyaki wrap with salmon. This place is also icnoic for being a boxed lunch place as well. They have a meal prep menu where you can order meals for the whole week, such a nice addition read more

Just tried this place for the first time and it's amazing. A top tier breakfast burrito that I've ever had. Was also really cool to see every person in the shopping center parking lot promoting them and telling you to go there. Will for sure be back soon. read more

Ordered for a lunch event at work. Everything was delicious! Some said their wrap or sliders were a bit dry.

This place is up. I must try. Will not let you down. The food is excellent. The staff is friendly. The prices are unbelievable.

We stumbled across this deli today - what a find! We had the Eggs in a Basket and the sliders, yummy!! Services was very nice, the food prep takes a bit, which we appreciated - you don't get that great tasting food when it's rushed or pre-mad. Loved the outdoor patio, too, we'll definitely be back. read more
