    ugh i keep wanting to like this place as a Iv staple but im displeased everytime , ordered the vegan burgeritto and was told they were out of the vegan hamburger but could substitute it for another type of vegan meat , i waited for like 30 min and they gave me a complete wrong order. Then after another 15 i get my order and get home take a bite of it and its real hamburger meat ....

    Bacon Macaroni and Cheese
    Joshua M.

    I tried a lot of things on the menu... Here is how I rank the Mac & Cheese: 1. Bacon Mac & Cheese. It's the same price as the bomb Mac and cheese. They both contain bacon, so i thought this bacon Mac and cheese would be a bad deal ..that is until I tried it and realized that it has A LOT more bacon than the bomb Mac and cheese. Probably like 10x more bacon. It's awesome. I didn't have to add anything else like sauce to finish it. Every bite was awesome. Favorite so far. 2. BBQ Chicken Mac & Cheese. I like the BBQ version more than the Buffalo. I got more chicken this time and it improved the overall meal. 3. Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese. The chicken is good, i got the crispy version, but there isnt enough pieces of chicken for the price. It's good, but not worth the money. 4. Bomb Mac & Cheese. Great, spend the extra money instead of getting the regular Mac and cheese. I had to add spicy mayo, Sriracha, spicy mayo and jalapenos from Lao Wang to make it better though. 5. Flamin Hot Mac & Cheese. The crushed Takis definitely improve the regular Mac & Cheese. Therefore it's definitely worth the extra dollar for the crushed Takis. Or just buy a bag of Takis and crush them yourself and add that to the regular Mac and cheese. But for convenience, just get this one instead of the regular Mac & Cheese. 6. Street Corn Mac & Cheese. Not as good as the other Mac & Cheese options. More queso fresco would make it better, but it wouldn't be enough to make it worthy of a second purchase. 7. Mac and Cheese. Good, but needs something extra. Kinda plain, I added Sriracha, chili oil and spicy mayo from Lao Wang to make it better. 8. Mac Bites. My least favorite Mac & Cheese option. The monster sauce is good. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Snack Wraps with 15 different sauces. From Favorite to least favorite: 1. Crispy chicken snack wrap with House Sauce, is delicious. 2. Chipotle Sauce. 3. Ranch. 4. Honey BBQ Sauce. 5. Teriyaki Sauce. 6. Spicy Asian. 7. Spicy Sauces. 8. Hummus. 9. Spicy Mayo. 10. Honey Mustard. 11. Buffalo. 12. Bleu Cheese. 13. Tzatziki. 14. Green Salsa. 15. Tahini. I tired ALL of the Grilled Cheese options. I enjoyed all of them. I ranked them from favorite to least favorite: 1. CRISPY Chicken Pesto Grilled Cheese. 2. GRILLED Chicken Pesto Grilled Cheese. 3. B.L.T. Grilled Cheese. 4. Bacon Avocado Grilled Cheese. 5. The Bacon Cheddar Ranch Grilled Cheese. 6. Chili Grilled Cheese. 7. BBQ CRISPY Chicken Grilled Cheese. 8. BBQ GRILLED Chicken Grilled Cheese. 9. The Veggie Grilled Cheese. 10. Fantastic Grilled Cheese. 11. The Caprese Grilled Cheese. 12. The Bacon Mac & Cheese Grilled Cheese. . 13. Adult Grilled Cheese. 14. Classic Grilled Cheese. I have tried 3 different bread options for the Grilled Cheeses. Favorite to least favorite. 1. Sourdough Toasted 2. Rye Toasted 3. Wheat Toasted I have tried all Wing flavors (BONE-IN) except for Ghost Pepper. Favorite to least favorite. 1. Mango Habanero 2. Honey Garlic 3. Spicy Asian 4. Garlic Parmesan (better than Wingstop) 5. Honey Hot 6. Teriyaki 7. Honey BBQ 8. Spicy Buffalo 9. Spicy Korean 10. Mild Buffalo 11. Cajun 12. Lemon Pepper 13. Plain 14. Spicy Scorpion (Extremely Spicy) I've tried every sandwich except for the Falafel and the Fat Hippie. Rank: 1. The Fat Gaucho (I think if I changed the Honey BBQ Sauce to Chipotle or House Sauce it would be the best) 2. The Fat Sam (I think if I removed the fries it would be better) 3. Pastrami (Delicious) 4. Philly Cheesesteak Arguably better than Jersey Mike's Cheesesteaks. 5. Chopped Cheese 6. Patty Melt 7. B.L.T. (Best Bacon in I.V.) 8. Lamb Gyro 9. Ham Sandwich 10. Veggie Sandwich I made a separate sandwich list for the chicken options. Rank: 1. Chicken Shawarma 2. Southwestern Chicken Club 3. Honey Spicy Chicken 4. Chicken Bacon Ranch 5. BBQ Chicken 6. Chicken Pesto Avocado 7. Buffalo Chicken with Bleu Cheese 8. Chicken Tender I made a separate list for Turkey. Rank: 1. Turkey Chipotle Club 2. Turkey Pesto Avocado 3. Turkey Sandwich. I've tried some of the Burgers. Rank: 1. Gaucho Burger 2. IV Burger 3. Buffalo Burger 4. Breakfast Burger 5. 1/4 (Quarter Pounder) 6. Hamburger I've tried some of the Fries. Rank: 1. Dirty Andrew Fries 2. Asada Fries 3. Buffalo Chicken Cheese Fries 4. Animal Style Fries I recommend using their IV Deli APP, because you save time and you can customize your order A LOT. The APP also gives you credits for free food. Overall I loved eating here and ordering something new every day. I liked that this place was open late and had a HUGE & awesome variety of comfort foods :) I was shocked I was able to purchase BOSS coffee here, because I only saw these little cans of coffee in vending machines in Okinawa and mainland Japan..that's awesome:) I.V. Deli is Awesome

    Place is allergic to any type of seasoning, serves burgers with no complimentary fries and you have to pay for ranch. Dude at the counter was chill but there was too many people and not enough room also the wait time was a bit crazy especially for a grab and go spot. Crowded for no reason food is also greasy and just not worth the price 6 dollars for a hot dog and 16 dollars for 10 piece wings. 6 of us ordered food and only one person liked their food he got the buffalo Mac and cheese.

    Per Personal Animal Fries

    Ive been here a few times and it's hit or miss with the fries. First time i got the buffalo fries (past midnight) they were sooooo fire and divine. Second time, i got the same order but picked up at around 7:30pm. I got my order in 3 minutes which was suspicious to me. the fries were barely cooked and the chicken chunks were less crispy. Third time here, i ordered right before closing and again, the food was sooooo good, crispy fries and plenty of sauce. I've come to the conclusion that the food is better late at night and i'm assuming it may be because it's the same cook in the late night. I would need a few more times to test this theory out. Have not tried items outside of the fries menu

    Buffalo chicken cheese fries 8.67/10- pretty good, they don't have enough crispy chicken as I was hoping. LOTS of Buffalo sauce. Comparative to marinating the grilled chicken from chick fil a in Buffalo sauce but like 5 packets of chick Buffalo.. the chicken is cooked which is very relieving for IV. The fries are the right amount of crispy to soft ratio. Honestly cooked to perfection. Not that much cheese to be marketed as cheese fries but thank god cause I feel like if it was cheesier I'd be sick Buffalo chicken cheese fries 9/10- chicken normally really crispy, fries are really good, sauce is good - raheem Buffalo chicken fries 10/10- intoxicated scale. Best drunk food ever. This is prime junk food, I don't think I've ever had these sober or will have these sober. Maybe a 7/10 if I was sober - Nick Vegan Buffalo chicken cheese fries 8.7/10- a little sour, and after taking a million bites you get kind of sick about it, the rating speaks for itself on a good part - Mansi Oh also to comment on the vegan Buffalo chicken cheese fries, the chicken in this tastes the same as regular chicken but a hint of tofu taste but like literally the same - Tammy This is known to be the late night munchies spot in isla vista given that everything is closed by 11:30/12. This place stays open till 1 am I believe. Has groceries mostly but their main attraction is the Buffalo chicken cheese fries. They do have a wide variety however this is their best item (common thought)

    Buffalo chicken fries
    Young P.

    Came here based on recommendation. Spoke very highly of their buffalo chicken fries and I just had to come to try it. This place is very unassuming in that it looks like a regular deli market but inside they have a kitchen. I thought I was at the wrong place because it looked like a regular convenience store. I only ordered their buffalo chicken fries so can't say much about their other dishes but I thought their fries were prepared very well. I think they were going for carne asada fries type of vibe and I appreciated that creativity. Overall, I think it tasted good and it was definitely very filling. I wish they added a few more toppings like fresh onions and would have been great if the chicken was more crispy since chicken kind of just got very soggy towards the end. Overall, worth a try if you are in the area but I wouldn't break my back to get it!

    Great place to get snacks, especially late at night for midterm or finals says open till 2 - MJ

    As someone who tried Buffalo fries years ago there has definitely been a recent change, including management. But they've changed their fries & personally it doesn't taste as good as before :( but they're still good! I would still recommend for the gaucho tradition. They've even change containers & definitely something different about the fries themselves. Management looks a bit tough on the cooks as well so I felt bad for the cooks while they were preparing orders getting yelled at by their manager/supervisor. Overall they're not the same but they're okay!

I was welcome to stay as long as I needed to eat my meal. What an unexpected and KIND gesture!!!! The guys were young but extremely courteous! I ordered a bowl of clam chowder...YUM!!! How can you go to Brophy's and not eat chowder? I also ordered a Baja fish taco and a shrimp taco. I love fish tacos. This one was super moist and crispy on the outside...perfect seasoning and the pickled onions were spot on!! The shrimp taco was a nice surprise. They are grilled (no guilt over extra calories) and good flavor. There is a good combination of savory with a little sweet from the mango salsa. The mangoes were not as ripe as I like, but the salsa had good flavor nonetheless. I especially appreciate that the young guys checked on me and asked about the food and if I needed anything. I visit SB a couple times a year. This is definitely going to be one of my pit stops. Oh... did I mention the nice surprise on my bill? I didn't even realize the perks of taco Tuesday. Kudos to the management for hiring such good workers!

This one sits in a strip mall so there is plenty of free parking and seats to eat at. My wife was bummed that there was no more sea urchin to be bought when we pulled in at dinner time but the fried fish taco special was too good to pass up so we both ordered that, the kiddo got the grilled salmon plate, and we also got a bowl of clam chowder to share. All the food was delicious! The fish tacos were the way I like them- a big piece of fish with cabbage, a little pico de gallo, and a dollop of sauce- not too many overpowering flavors to let the fish be the star of the show. The clam chowder was creamy with plenty of clams, and the salmon plate had great salmon that was cooked nicely (still moist) and what was likely an entire avocado sliced up on the plate. Great food, we'd definitely come back!

Really enjoyed the fresh oysters here. The smallest, most expensive one (they had a few different ones that day so I tried one of each) was understandably the tastiest and creamiest of the bunch. The other ones were good too, and all of them had a salty brine on them. They also provided some lemon wedges, marinara (?) sauce, and hot sauce. The fried soft-shell crab burger was interesting to try once, not particularly my taste but if you like fried soft-shell crab it could be great for you. I would like to come back, especially for the fresh oysters. Hoping to try some other menu items next time.
