    Nice place. We came from out of town and found this clean yummy place. The couple there were very friendly. Highly recommend! The avocado toast is delicious

    Tried this place for the first time. It was okay. A bit pricey for a deli but I got a big sandwich, although the flavor was not all there. Service was quick. Could use a bit of a better ambiance. And above all, the servers can smile a bit. Anyway, if you are in the area, please try them out, and let me know your own experience. Happy sandwiches!

    Veggie sandwich

    Kearny Mesa Deli has some great sandwich options. I ordered the veggie sandwich, which was really good. Really fresh ingredients! Prices are fair and service is ok. The space inside is pretty small so there is limited space to stand while you wait for your food. Plenty of parking available in a lot and on the street.

    I was mislead by some of the Yelp reviews, thinking I was going to get a good homemade breakfast sandwich. My sandwich had imitation cheese and not sure what the thin sausage patty was made of. This place is run by a two person team and is located in a somewhat industrial business park area that serves local businesses. The vibe wasn't comforting nor cozy at all. Just kind of a place to grab and go, if you must.

    Ham Sunrise Delight on an English muffin +avocado & sprouts $8.10 including tax.

    Cute little deli! Looks like it's a mom & pop shop. I was greeted & helped right away. I ordered a ham, egg, & cheese breakfast sandwich but I added avocado & sprouts. Next time I think I'll ask for pesto just to give it a little flavor because otherwise it's a simple straight forward breakfast sandwich. $8.10 but probably cause of the extra avo & sprouts. Still a very good price I'd you think about it. What I also love is that their sandwiches aren't greasy at all, the greens tasted fresh, & the portions are great! I'll definitely be back! Also, they memorize they're regulars' orders. If that isn't amazing customer service I don't know what is.

    Sunrise Sandwich (plain bagel, scrambled eggs, american cheese and avocado)

    I was searching for a place close by that was serving bagel sandwiches and this place popped up as #1. I can see why after going and ordering a Sunrise Sandwich. It's a small cafe shop with lots of drinks, snacks and food options. The lady who took my order was very sweet and patient. Service was quick! I received my order in less than 5 minutes. The sandwich was splendidly prepared (check the photo). It was cut perfectly and the egg, avocado and cheese were placed evenly. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for breakfast (served until 10:30am) and lunch!

    good espresso here !

    Coming back to send my love to my favorite sub place…read more I've sadly moved to a different part of town so Fatboy's is no longer a few blocks away. I still try to stop by every few months as this place holds a special place in my heart. A no frills spot. Solid and consistent. To the point but friendly customer service. Fantastic drink, chip and snack selection. Sandwiches are always bomb asf. The hot momma and BLT loaded up is my favorite. My husband still loves their Ruben (it is his favorite place to get it.) You get a small potato or macaroni salad on the side with a pickle (perfect crunch.) I personally think it's a great little add on. Their chili is also simple but delicious. I personally think their chili pairs perfectly with any of their sandwiches. It's not a heavy thick chili. Which is why I think it pairs so well. I won't lie it's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. It's loaded up and good quality. I never feel gross or overly bloated after eating here. I will be coming back to Fatboy's until I move out of San Diego or die. lol. One of my favorite gems in SD. Always will be worth the drive or walk. Thank you for always delivering even years later.

    Siesel's Meats is the original location if you love going to Iowa Farms in Mission Valley. These…read moretwo locations will be our go to for getting high quality butchered meats. We typically go to Iowa Farms since it's close to us and we're familiar with the location. We love getting the potato salad and bbq baked beans (prepackaged) sides there when we stop in, but if you're not early on the weekend, they usually run out. So we decided since we'd be in the Bay Park area, we'll check out the original location, Siesel's. Glad we did! I wanted to make a slow cooker brisket one weekend, so it was perfect. Siesel's is a bit larger than Iowa Farms and feels a bit more open. Same great cow awaiting outside the store. But they have a whole deli counter with all the sides plus more! They didn't have any ready made prepackaged bbq baked beans, it was better, made fresh daily and we were able to get as much as we wanted at the deli counter. They also have several different Siesel's signature potato salads and pasta salads that aren't offered prepackaged at Iowa farms, which I absolutely love! My favs are the Asiago pasta and deviled egg potato salad. We also decided to try their Tri-tip sandwich made to order at the deli and it was delicious! Fluffy bun piled high with Tri-tip covered in bbq sauce and have the option to add cheese and anything else. Love it! Staff is always very helpful. Parking lot can get full on the weekends, and they can run out of the pre-prepared meats in the front counter, but make sure to ask if there's any more in the back or they may be able to prepare some for you! We'll definitely be back! Until next time! :) Simply the best! Series: 17 2026: 34
