The Italian packed with delicious meats. Made to order with no onions or lettuce.
Rafa E.

As always Moto Deli delivers with amazing sandwiches made fresh to order with a flavor profile and amazing bread that makes each bite perfect. Not sure what to order, ask the friendly and cool staff for a recommendation and they will help satisfy your taste buds. Their outdoor patio is the perfect place to enjoy your meal surrounded by hungry cyclists which makes the entire experience more unique. Don't forget to order one of the local beers on tap.

Their special - most popular sandwich Turketta Sandwich
Shirley C.

Freshly made sandwiches Bit overpriced and small for what you get Wish it had more flavor Their most popular sandwich tasted like a chopped turkey BLT with fresh greens The Italian was a compacted sub

Pastrami-Ruben
Rachael A.

Cool spot! Love that it's not only a deli, but a coffee bar too. And also attatched to a bike store I believe? I have had the Turketta here before (which is delicious), today I tried the Pastrami-Ruben. The rye-bread was the star of the show because it had the perfect "CRUNCH", I believe they crisp it with butter. 10/10 crunch factor. I think next time, for my personal preference, I will do mustard in place of the thousand island (thousand island was delicious, I just don't tend to love sweet sauces, but love Rubens) so give it that extra savory-ness. Cute location and ambiance. Minimal seating inside, but super close to the beach. Great spot to grab a 'wich and go have a sunset picnic. Service was friendly! Only caveat: I had a hard time paying $20 for a sandwich- no drink or chips. I know times are challenging right now, but I still just had a tough time with that. Unless they use all natural, seed-oil free ingredients, I would be more down with that. But I am not unsure the impression that's the case- could be wrong though.

Great little deli and coffee bar! Had their signature Turketta, but was already looking forward to trying a few other sandwiches! Their signature turketta was excellent and so was their chicken bahn mi! If I wasn't as hungry I would've definitely tried a coffee as all the cyclists making a stop had wonderful looking drinks! As the deli is connected to a high end cycle shop, on PCH, this place is heavily visited by passing by cyclists, which made the ambiance a lot of fun as well. Highly recommend this place. Can't wait to go back!

Grilled cheese
Valerie K.

We stopped by for a grilled cheese that was under $10 and immediately hit the spot. Some of the other sandwiches were quite pricey like the pastrami or roast beef coming in at $17, but the menu has so many options to choose form, that I would like to come back and try more of the menu.

Turketta Sandwich
Nell C.

I haven't been to Moto Deli since their new location and my review still stands at four stars. The new location is bigger and has dedicated parking as well as street parking. The salads are BOMB! The ingredients mixed with the ranch dressing in the Cobb salad was the best I have ever had. The Turketta was disappointing as the bread was dry and the sandwich had a sweetness that I wasn't expecting. Overall good food and healthy! Service was amazing and friendly. Ambiance is hip and fun. Outdoor patio accepts dogs!

Mortadella Sandwich
Minji W.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and I'm pretty sad about my experience here. I thought the sandwiches had good quality ingredients but weren't insanely flavorful but maybe it's just what I ordered. Could've been better with hot sauce, so I shall try that next time. The service was also a bit slow which is fine. The part that made me sad was the ambiance. I was met with such hostility by the local customers, and it was really isolating as literally the only poc at the entire place. Also we are literally young 20s girls, that was so weird and targeted to me lol

It was not busy at all, Monday around 12 noon. I got the turketta sandwich, a pickle side, house chips, and a drink. My total was somewhere over $20. The sandwich was absolutely incredible, simple but a darn good sandwich. I would absolutely come back.

Cold tuna sub with the perfect bread? For $11? Sign me up. The bread and tuna salad stole the show for me in this sub. Will come back

BLT Sandwich with no sauce
Trevor T.

Ordered pick up for Moto Deli and I feel like if you ride a motorcycle, scooter, bike, or are any type of cyclist; you are obligated to visit Moto Deli. It is very popular with that crowd and I can understand why. Really good sandwiches and has a hipster vibe that makes it feel cool to hang out and eat there. The location is also perfect. I ordered the BLT with avocado and couldn't complain. Ingredients tasted fresh, was stacked, and I was satisfied. I might need to start riding my bike again...

Jessica G.

Sandwiches are on point, love the vibe of the place and love that there is a bike shop connected where I can get all of my biking goods. Service was good

Tuna! Messy but so good!
Peter I.

You know that feeling when you get tired of SUBWAY and Jersey Mike's and all the other chains that have sandwiches? Well that was me yesterday I could not look at another jersey Mike's sub, so I went to my small go to epic sandwich spot. Moto, deli! Plenty of parking, a staff that gets it great folks in the kitchen... And then the sandwich comes out! And you realize that this is not just a franchise, it's a real restaurant. I think the pictures speak for themselves, but if you are ever down in North County, this is a must visit.

Caprese Sandwich
Amy W.

Who doesn't love a killer Sammie?! If you are looking for the best around, then Moto Deli is a MUST! Located right off Highway 101 in Encinitas, it is in the perfect location to sit on the patio and grab lunch or scoop it up to-go and hit the beach. The team is always friendly, provides service with a smile and is there to share recommendations when everything sounds good and you just can't decide. It's a smaller menu but you will find something for everyone - Hot and cold Sammie's, Salads and Side Dishes. Start with a drink - Local Beers are always on tap along with a selection of Wine, Hard Kombucha as well as plenty of Non-Alcoholic drink options. Next up, order at the counter and you'll receive a buzzer to let you know when your meal is ready. I have way too many favorites on the menu so I'll give you my top recs: Egg Salad {a housemade Egg Salad with Gherkins, Lettuce and Tomato served on Squaw Bread} / Caprese {Mozzarella, Tomato, Fresh Basil, Arugula, Red Onion and Balsamic served on a French Roll} / The Italian - My absolute Favorite {Hard Salami, Genoa Salami, Capicola, Provolone, Lettuce, Tomato and Onion on a French Roll}. You can opt for a side of Mac Salad, Curried Sweet Potato Salad or a Super Food Salad but the way to go is a simple Pickle Spear {or 2}! No matter what you decide on, your mouth will be watering and you will be craving these sandwiches for days on end. You will quickly become obsessed and thank me later!

I thought moto deli was closed indefinitely, did they just change locations?

They moved a couple blocks north on the 101

I was pleasantly surprised by how soft and flavorful the crust was! The vegan cheeses were also exceptional and the entire pizza was cooked perfectly. The tortillas that they use for the tacos are good as well. Whether you are gluten-free, vegan, trying to eat healthier, or simply accompanying a friend, Nectarine Grove has something for everyone!

The crust on both was kind of a hand tossed /thin crust. Basically perfect with a nice crunch. The hot honey could have used a little more salami but was delicious. The BBQ chicken could have been a little heavier on the BBQ sauce, but also fantastic. Son had a Coke, I had a Hazy IPA. Service was quick and efficient at the counter. Hot honey pizza came out first and then it was quite a wait for the BBQ chicken pizza. They should come out together or very close in my opinion. Both pizzas were served hot and fresh. Service at the bar for a beer was perfect as I didn't know what I wanted but was offered a couple of sample sips which was nice. Perfect Coast Highway ambiance and prices that were reasonable considering SoCal coastal restaurants. The artwork on the walls and skateboarding vibe was present everywhere. Super cool place and we'll definitely be back. It's all about that crust!
