Another place found through Yelp and it was a good find. The place was really busy. The employees were nice and helpful. I went with the Tri-tip sandwich and a drink. The meat was very tasty and the bread was nice and fresh. This is definitely a return visit place. They have a good selection of other sandwiches too. They have places to sit inside so I was able to relax while I ate my food.

Wow, just Wow!!!!! If you dont at least try this place, assuming you are in the area, something is definitely wrong with you. The most amazing Turkey, bacon , avocado on a French roll, that I have ever had... Fresh, fresh, fresh, is an understatement!! People were super friendly, non rushed, very pleasant, all around.... Had the 1/2 sandwich and soup. Soup was chicken and dumplings and it was amazing as well. Just overall a very great experience at a little corner sandwich shop. I walked from the Pilot truck stop about 40 min away. Needless to say, I will walk back here tomorrow for lunch again. Seriously, if you are on the fence, you should come over here if you want a great sandwich and or soup at a pretty fair price, even for California....

Very very friendly great food great selection. Have the turkey avocado wrap fantastic

Awesome place to come and grab a bite. Not only are the sandwiches delicious, but staff is extremely friendly. Its family owned deli and thats what you feel like from the moment you walk in.

This was the special of the day. Not sure of the name of the sandwich but it had chicken, artichoke and jalapeños among other things.

Best sandwich spot in Salinas, hands down. I have tried 3 different sandwiches, and they have all been delicious. Two of these have been daily specials. They also have salads, wraps, potato and macaroni salads, and pastries. Lots of goodies to try. I get full easily and pricing is decent. Their staff is friendly, and look happy to serve you. This place does get packed during the lunch hour so plan accordingly. They have a small parking lot, but customers make it work, and they do have a drive through. I do wish they were open on weekends! I highly recommend you try this place.

Here's to you, Della Rose Deli. Your sandwiches and service were fantastic. I had the deli club , and my fiance had a turkey,swiss,avocado, and she loved it. Came in on a Wednesday afternoon, minutes ahead of the lunch rush, quickly realized we picked a great stop to eat on our way hack home as the place quickly filled up with a line for thru drive thru as well.

My favorite spot to get a sandwich. The tri-tip is always cooked well . My go to spot whenever I need a quick bite to eat for lunch !! Scott the owner treats you like family whenever you come in too !

I used to go here often for lunch when i lived in Salinas. Salads were always so fun to make here. Great variety of lettuce options. And adding bacon and cheese on top added plus croutons made for a great healthy lunch. read more

Del Rosa Deli is a Salinas staple and has been for many decades. Their sandwiches are delicious and easily some of the best in town -- definitely top three deli sandwiches in the City of Salinas in my opinion. It's a go-to spot for a lot of farmers and people who work in the ag industry, and the location is easy to access. The drive-through also makes it very convenient, especially when you're trying to grab something quick during the day. The only downside is that they close early, I believe around 4, so you have to plan ahead. Overall, a solid four stars. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture this time, but I'll take one next time and update the review. read more

Always busy around lunch, but staff are quick, amazing, and super friendly. I think the woman taking orders knew most folks by name, so it was a great atmosphere. The sandwiches are gigantic, our household favorite here is the Cali Club, but it serves as a whole day's meal! Their green salads were super fresh, and had plenty of protein, so definitely worth it if you're avoiding the bread (but eat the bread... dutch crunch roll is worth it!) read more

I am not much of a deli/sandwich eater. But Della-Rose is an exception - particularly their Tri-tip sandwich. You have to try it - it is just the bext tasting steak sandwich you will ever have. Remember to ask them to add the pepperoncinis to give it a little bit of kick. Service at Della-Rose is pretty efficient too - considering they are usually super busy at lunch time. Most of us work in the area, so we are just getting takeout or grabbing our bag of food at the drive through. But if you are looking to eat there, come early or later past the lunch hour cuz they have very limited seating. read more

I absolutely love this deli! They are close to my work obviously a local favorite, every time you go and it's around lunchtime be prepared to wait. Which is no problem I'm usually waiting happily for it or we call our order in ahead. Calling to order in ahead of something I suggest you're in and out soon to enjoy your whole lunch break digging into their delicious sandwiches. The staff is always extremely friendly as well! The girls in there really love their job and you can tell. The owner is extremely friendly and he's always there helping customers as an important part of their team. Definitely if you're in Salinas check them out you won't be disappointed! read more

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.

Prunedale Market

Every time we drive home from Monterey, I always see the big red Yelp sign that reads best BBQ…read more That sign did its' job and it got me intrigued and grabbed my attention. We finally got the chance to check it out. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The Prunedale Market is located along side the highway 101 freeway in the small town of Prunedale. It just takes a few long right turns to get there. Parking is easy and accessible out in the front parking lot. From the front, the market does not look like a popular BBQ spot. It looks like a simple small market store to grab quick snacks and drinks. Once inside there is a BBQ and deli section to your right. A small dining area is to your left. The decor is old fashioned and quaint. The 2 gentlemen greet you with friendly hospitality. We ordered the Tri tip sandwich, half slab of ribs which includes 2 potatoes and a cup of corn chowder. The pit master/owner Martin, who use to work for Original Joe's, was kind enough to also include a quarter chicken leg, a sausage, and extra ribs. It was so much food for our party of 3. Everything was delicious and hearty. The Tri tip sandwich was scrumptious with the flaming Fritos adding a nice crunchy texture and kick with every bite. The ribs were juicy and smokey. Potatoes complemented very well with the rest of the meat and chicken. Corn chowder was so tasty and creamy. I did not know corn chowder was that good. Overall we enjoyed our experience at the Prunedale Market. The staff were super nice and accommodating. They even offered for our son to grab some free ice cream to go. We politely declined. The prices were very reasonable. All that food fed us for the next 2 days. Lol. We hope to be back when we are in the area with other friends and family.

We stopped by Eric's Deli for lunch and had a great experience! I ordered the tuna sandwich, and my…read moreson got the Caesar salad wrap. My tuna sandwich was absolutely delicious. It had a sweet mustard that took the sandwich to another level, and I loved that it came with sprouts. We also got a tasty pickle and piece of an orange on the side. My son really enjoyed his Caesar salad wrap. He said the wrap itself was incredibly soft, the croutons were crunchy, and the chicken was warm, tender, and flavorful. The Caesar dressing was spot on with just the right amount. He usually adds extra dressing to Caesar wraps, but this one didn't need a thing. The service was excellent. We originally asked about the Caesar salad wraps since we didn't see it on the menu, and the cashier kindly let us know they still make it, which was a pleasant surprise. Our food came out quickly, everyone was friendly, and the restaurant was very clean. Overall, we had a wonderful lunch and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you are looking for fresh, delicious sandwiches and great customer service.

Second order in a row that they have ruined takeout/delivery…read more They use Door Dash but when there is a problem, such as today when the deliverer left out a sandwich that I was charged for, Door Dash can't help if they wanted to because it's on a different system. The deli refuses to take responsibility. Second time. Avoid delivery until they fix it unless you really trust that it will be done right. For me, they messed up the past two times. I also question why they don't have a manager on site on a holiday who could help.

They serve brisket, ribs, tri-tip, pulled pork and chicken by the pound, or you can great sandwiches loaded up with your choice of meat and all the trimmings. I should have taken pictures because you would NOT believe the size of the beautiful stuffed baked potatoes. Each one is easily dinner for two people, loaded up with cheese, sour cream, onions, peppers and topped on with BBQ brisket. Fabulous! If that weren't enough reason to visit, they also sell exotic meats like lion, bear, ostrich, elk and just about any other animal you can think of. And if you buy the meat there, they'll cook it for you for free. Don't miss it!

They made my sandwich with grilled shrimp since I don't eat any other meat(s). This place was hopping with customers which is a good indicator that the food, atmosphere and service is sufficient! There was a slight wait for drinks but that's expected when business is booming! Another plus is that they had flavored creamer for my coffee! TIP: The portion sizes are large and shareable! My hubby couldn't finish all of his food.

I'd give it 5 stars, but there are areas they can improve on…read more.. 1. $6.95 for a kid's lemonade is way too expensive. 2. I'm pretty sure they don't offer real maple syrup. The viscosity completely gives it away that it's "table syrup". That's okay. But why not offer real maple syrup as a chargeable option? 3. The pancakes are very good. But they don't offer fresh blueberries. They offer some kind of berry mix. I don't like blackberries. To me, blueberries are typical standard fare that most breakfast places with pancakes offer. The service is generally excellent. The place is very clean and bright. We will probably be returning. But hope they can make some needed improvements.

The tortillas were so soft and delicious! It was out of this world and nothing I have ever tasted before! It didn't matter what you put inside that burrito, the tortilla just elevated everything! Tried the chile verde (Their most popular) and the pork had some pretty good flavor! Also tried the carne asada, not the best carne asada I've had, simple, but still pretty tasty! It was missing some nice spice! I didn't know that it didn't come with any salsa, definitely get some salsa on the side. Coming from so cal, I would definitely go back up just to try their other burritos!

That said, the restaurant is super clean, including the bathrooms, and the space feels cute, modern, and welcoming.

Great addition to Marina!

Lots of options to choose from as the menu itself already provides an abundance of items, but there is an extended menu of more specials and sushi rolls posted on the walls all around the restaurant. We shared the Street Fighter Roll, the Sushi Combo - Samurai, and I had a side salad and miso soup. I would agree with some of the other reviews here that the sashimi was fresh and the cuts were generous. I also appreciate how the sushi rice ratio wasn't an overkill so we were able to enjoy more of the sashimi and sushi toppings. Would definitely return to try other menu items!

Best kept secret in Salinas South. Fresh salads with salad dressings mixed on site, sandwiches and wraps made to your liking, and I can never resist the rotisserie tri-tip (never served day old). Owner takes the times to get fresh local produce and has recently added local roasted coffee and freshly baked pastries through a drive up window or inside at the counter. With meal deals and an extensive menu to tempt your tastebuds, you will be welcome with friendly staff to take your order over the phone or in the deli read more

Little place out the way of everything- but man its worth it. I come here to get us all sandwiches for the team and everyone is always happy about them. The Workers are always nice and get you out on a hurry. They are not stingy with the fillings- not like the average sub shop. Try it you'll like it! read more
