    Macaroni Salad comes with sandwich order.
    Jenn R.

    Located on the first floor of a building complex, La Place Deli serves up the surrounding local businesses by offering delicious breakfast and lunch foods. The staff is friendly and helpful in narrowing down what to eat. As my first time visiting, I quickly observed that everyone knew the staff and vice versa and it reminded me of how endearing relationships to local businesses are so important their success. I'm not crying, you're crying. The Foods | Noteworthy selection of deli sandwiches, wraps, and breakfast items. There are cold bottled drinks and little snack items such as chips and cookies. - Ortega Chicken Melt | Grilled chicken breast, melted jack cheese, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, avocado, green chile, Dijon mustard on sourdough toast. Chicken breast is moist and tender. The mild green chile is cut open and laid out flat in between sandwich layers. Such a filling and satisfying sandwich! - Macaroni Salad | Comes with the sandwich. Served cold, it has a perfect coating of mayonnaise and peppered with pepper. It's a nice side dish to the sandwich. La Place Deli Feels | Cozy and clean with a few tables indoors as well as covered seating outdoors. I decided to sit inside due to a heatwave currently sweeping through the area, but any other time, I'd rather be outside enjoying the mild temperatures and sunny weather. The Parking Situation | Plenty of parking near the front entrance and side of the deli. Parking is free.

    so excited for the new ownership, Rosie is LOVELY, great service! and - my chuck melt was so delicious i actually stopped eating it to post about how delicious the house made, tender beef is with the peppers and onions, melty cheese. tastes like comfort food - from a deli in carlsbad!!!! so excited to watch the new ownership grow in our business park area; hard to replace Charlie but Rosie is coming in with a vision, and a great family owned vibe!

    They have breakfast sandwiches too!

    The owner makes you feel at home! He is so friendly. The prices here are very reasonable. I work one building over and I'm so happy I gave La Place Deli a try. I had the special of the day which was a BBQ chicken sandwich. It was delicious! I believe most of the sandwiches come with macaroni salad which is delicious as well. I can't wait to go back and try one of the many sandwiches they make!

    Charlie is absolutely fantastic. This place rocks; quality, quick, and most importantly extremely affordable. Here's the daily special the chicken pesto with a little cup of macaroni salad to enjoy too!

    I've been a customer for a 10+ years, Charlie is great, knows everyone by name. The only place I order a tuna melt from, it's so good.

    I was finally able to try Prontos. It's not so easy for me to go since they are closed on…read moreweekends. I really enjoyed it and look forward to going back. We ordered sandwiches from the walk up menu. There are many choices available. The prepared dinner selections looked really good and I look forward to trying those in the future. The sandwich cost was on the higher side. Close to $20 with a tip. The portion was pretty large and the quality was very good so that helped. I also chose ciabatta bread and didn't realize that was an extra $3 until after I saw my receipt. Some upgrades were more clearly marked but I didn't see that one. They have a very nice patio area to sit while you are eating. I thought it was very nice that they bring the food out to you.

    I used to frequent this place quite a bit in the past before the new owners took over…read more Speaking only from my experience, this place has changed a lot, prices have gone up but that's not a shock, everywhere you go nowadays and doesn't have to be even a decent deli, sandwiches are ridiculously expensive, $16 for a sandwich? Really? Or even more depending where you go. Frankly I don't know how anyone can afford it any longer but that's a different story. The new owners still don't even seem to know what they are doing after I would say 3yrs now, maybe even more since taking over this place. I used to love going here, now I go maybe once every 3 months if even that and I know why. The service is not the same, the owners are clueless and the food doesn't taste the same at all. The atmosphere of feeling like you are at home when most everyone but mostly the owner remembered you, would come talk to you, helped you and knew what she was taking about, is all gone. I was there yesterday for one of my favorite sandwiches, meatball sandwich. I like that the meatballs are small, not a size of a baseball or even larger, just perfect size, tasty etc. I go up to the register and instead of his clueless wife when you ask her a question and she looks at you as if you're from another planet then has to go and ask one of her employees which that in itself looks totally bad, this time was her husband who looks to me for now the 4th time through the year I visited, that should just stick to staying in the gym since he looks like someone that takes care of himself that way, quite fit, and although nothing at all with that, perhaps leave the deli part of it to someone else and go back to working out instead, it seems his forte. When I told him the sandwich I wanted, he clearly said to me "what would you like with the sandwich" a question I was never asked before because it simply came with a small bag of chips or pasta salad, so I asked what did the sandwich come with, "it comes" the word that he used "it comes with", not "extra charge" and he mentioned French fries, bag of chips while he pointed where the chips were, pasta salad. I said, "I'll try the French fries". Not ONE TIME he said to me that none of the items he mentioned to me were extra charge, I even told him, "oh they come with all that you just told me"? He said yes. When I paid the total came to $24 dollars, the sandwich itself was $13.65 and a coke that I ordered was $3, how did it get to $24? Well, the French fries were extra cost. Had I chosen a bag of chips, the once he pointed at were also extra charge just like if I ordered pasta salad, I found out about the extra charge from the lady that brought me the sandwich and I asked why my bill was $24 dollars, SHE, not the owner told me about the extra charges. After I said to her, "why didn't or doesn't the owner tell you so instead of saying that these extras come with the sandwich" she looked at me and said "I don't know". She didn't even know however any of the prices of the sandwich they sell. These are the new employees now. I know you are going to think why I didn't ask right away why my bill was $24 dollars. I didn't even think about it immediately, I was hungry at this point, the place was quite busy and I wanted to find a place to sit, no excuse, but didn't think about it right away. Not until I set down and then started thinking about why my bill was higher. That was my fault. I should have immediately asked and actually I should have gone to the owner afterwards and mentioned to him that he should tell the customers correctly, meaning do NOT SAY "IT COMES WITH" that means IS NOT EXTRA CHARGE. He needs to say that wherever we want with it, there is an extra, then up to the customer if he/she wants it or not. The sandwich did not taste like the way it used to taste, meatballs still small but they were very salty, and the fries although I will say cooked pretty nice, crispy and all, a very small portion and also very salty. Overall and sadly for me because I truly liked this place a lot with the previous owner, it's not a place I would go back to. The prices are as high and now higher than any other place nowadays, nothing spectacular, their bakery department is now very limited, used to be huge and very nice selections, they used to have a pastry chef in the back that made the best deserts, and I don't know if they also changed cook, but nothing tastes the same. The place is always very busy, so I am sure I won't be missed, I won't waste my money here again. The new owners should by now know what they sell, know how to interact with customers better, know the job they took over. The owners before were absolutely wonderful and great to talk to, they would interact with you ask you if everything was ok, great service from the staff. I miss them and the new owners really need to step up, it's time. The place also very dirty on floors, tables, trash cans totally disgusting and filthy.

Now, let's talk about the real issue here: WHERE IS THE RANCH? The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because they don't have buttermilk ranch for the fries. They offer Thousand Island, but no ranch? That's a little disappointing Other than that, I have zero complaints. I really hope they consider adding ranch to the menu. They say they don't carry ranch because they don't serve salads but ranch isn't just for salads.

They still have the same vibe and the same menu items for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They did raise the prices but still a really good value regardless. Formerly a sit-down restaurant, this is now set-up as a take-out, with few tables outside near the entrance. It is also a small market as well, with a meat counter. We walked in at around 5:00pm on a Wednesday and ordered their BBQ Beef Rib dinner and a slice of pistachio cheesecake. The employees there were really friendly and nice. We didn't get her name at the register but on our receipt it said Gabby was our server and she was sweet. We had a question regarding ordering meat for an upcoming event and Max at the meat counter was very helpful. When we got home, the meal was delicious! The meat on the ribs was juicy and tender, the baked potato was hot! It stayed warm longer than most potatoes we've had and it was good. The mixed veggies were a bit softer than I expected but was fine. It was a good meal. We went back to order 8 BBQ beef rib dinners 3 days later on Saturday, 4th of July. We called in our order 30 minutes before pick up and when we arrived, we waited a few more minutes for our order to be done. The ribs weren't consistently good. Some were good but some were tough and chewy. But the sides of coleslaw & mashed potatoes were really good. Rolls were already cold at pick-up. Overall, it's still a good place and glad they're back.
