    great inexpensive food in coral gables...very few can beat their prices...like home made food!!!

    Talk about an underrated deli. Family owned and operated in the back corner of a garage. This is like the NY soup kitchen straight out of Seinfeld with out the lip service. They will do pickup or delivery and my favorite go to has been their Grilled Chicken in whole-wheat wrap with everything. I might get a soup too, but that's usually it. The chicken is Hilal, not that I'm Muslim not my colleague is and it's been a way to connect with him when we walk to grab our food to bring it back to the office. Folks are friendly and it's basically What You See Is What you get. They'll let you taste the food. I don't stick around to eat there since it's a garage after all, but there is a table and you can watch the soaps that are usually aired on your lunch hour if that is what floats your boat.

    Do you work in the gables? Looking for a quick meal? Eli's is the spot. I eat here at least twice a week. It's fast, good, and great prices. Can't go wrong with a Cuban bread egg sandwich toast for breakfast or a tuna melt wrap! Both under $6 bucks! And delicious

    Great food and fast service! Delish cilantro chicken soup-try it when you're under the weather.

    The food was good, it just took a while to come out. I guess since it was a Sunday morning, it was…read morea bit busy as well. We had some coffees and they were both great. I enjoyed the overnight oats which had pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes and some dried banana chips. It was very healthy and filling. My brother had the waffles which had berries and a vanilla bean creme! We obviously were too excited and didn't get a chance to take a pic prior to eating. Overall, we had a nice time here and will probably be back but on a different day where it's not too busy. Parking is available in the back or on the street parallel, you have to pay through the pay by phone app. I can't wait to come back and try the pancakes next time!

    I love their menu here! There is an absolutely amazing variety of delicious sounding sandwiches,…read morewraps, salads, and breakfast options. Not to mention the amazing looking pastries and coffees when you first walk in. I ordered the steak sandwich and have no complaints. The vegetables were roasted perfectly, the bread had a great toasted crunch to it, and there was a good amount of steak in my sandwich. In addition, the sauce that they put on the bread was so good! The portion size was great and I find the price point here to be pretty fair (~$21 after tip). It was really busy when we came in but there was still some seating open for us and we were seated right away. The food came out quickly and the staff is very friendly. I love how the food both looks delicious and tastes amazing as well! You don't have to sacrifice on flavor or price to get the aesthetic Instagram picture! Interior is clean and very welcoming. A great place to come with a smaller group to catch up and get a reasonably priced lunch that doesn't cut corners on quality or taste.

    Growing up in East Hialeah, we had "Santa Barbara". It was on 25th street and 9th ave. You would go…read morein there and to the left you had a bunch of food that was prepared, hot and cold, a sandwich counter next to the cigarettes. To the right you had chips and cookies that you could only find here. All the way in the back you had the carniceria.

The only problem was that I didn't have any bread, and I wasn't in the mood for store-bought options. I called a local bakery to see if they had any fresh bread. The gentleman I spoke to told me they make fresh bread daily. He said they had one remaining loaf of ciabatta he had recently made. He said he would hold it for me if I would like and I told him that would be fine. It was about a 10 to 12-minute walk from my hotel to this place. True to his word, the gentleman had my loaf of bread waiting on the counter for me. The gentleman I had spoken to on the phone even offered to slice the bread for me, but I declined since I had some utensils at my hotel. Thanks to their fantastic customer service, I can't wait to come back, even if the bread wasn't the absolute best, which it was. It's the little things that make such a big difference!
