It took me while to warm up to Moto Deli, for the longest time I was undecided. But they keep getting better at everything they do; service, grab and go, sandwiches, sides. They are one of the true success stories to come out of the CV-19 debacle; rising from a decent deli in the wrong location to an amazing deli in a perfect spot with service tailored perfectly to their eaterI've now tried one of everything on the menu, my advice would be to pick anything and keep coming back. Leucadia has needed a deli lunch spot for years, and this is definitely where you want to come if you're craving a deli sandwich and sides. Highly recommend the Reuben, Pastrami, and Potato and Kale salads. Update: if the smoker is running, do NOT miss out on the Brisket sandwich. Amazing. read more

if i could give this place zero stars i would,man who "helped" me claimed he was too busy to help me when choosing a sandwich as this is my first and last time here. i requested help with the menu and seeing if items could be motified he stated he was too busy, as he bagged cookies and no other customers were around. not sure why he works in customer service yes refuses to help a buying customer. I did not feel welcomed here. Horrible experience and mediocre sandwich. read more

Moto Deli - "Busy Employee" - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

Moto Deli is located in a great spot because it is both Amtrak station and Beach close. They offer quality sandwiches which are made fresh. The potato chips are made in house and a must get item. They have a lot of outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade. We got the Italian Sandwich and Turkey salad Sandwich, plus a bag of chips which was big enough to share. Negative marks came from the squaw bread seeming more like standard wheat bread, and there were a few soggy chips in the bag. Don't get me wrong - we devoured everything. read more

Dare I say best Reuben I've had since Katz's deli in NY. Tender meat, including the brisket (special). The Italian was great too and very unique Mac salad which was tasty! Staff was friendly, food came out fast, and cute outdoor patio area. read more

I don't get the hype of this place. We went for the first time and I ordered the Turketta, my friend got the Pastrami Reuben. To start off the sandwiches are super overpriced so I expected something better right off the bat. Their only options for chips are their house chips which many of them were soggy and soft, if your chips aren't that great can you at least offer other brands that customers can buy? The first thing I see when I open my sandwich is hair! So overpriced and with hair. I am pregnant and super hungry so I go for the other half because I need to eat, and the turkey has no flavor, their sauce is super sweet and I was kind of shocked at how anyone can mess up a good ol' turkey bacon sandwich. It was super bland. My friend said his lacked sauce and he gave the place a 3/10. I've had better sandwiches at gas station delis for half the price. read more

I happened to be riding my motorcycle by this Olaf's and turned around. I'm glad I did. The sandwich shop is smaller than the outdoor deck, the sandwiches are fantastic and made to order. I got the Italian sandwich. Tasty as an east coast grinder which is where I am originally from. Worth a try if just for the Italian. Can't wait to try others. read more

Moto Deli - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

Sandwiches were pretty good, we got the grilled cheese, Cuban and hot chicken. I think the hot chicken was my least favorite. There's was construction going on. But we were able to find parking in the lot. Food came quickly. Only con of the place was the young man working, kept going on his personal phone and was talking loud and sometimes complaining that some customers weren't tipping. read more

Food Service Ambiance All 5 stars Pastrami sandwich was so good!!! Super friendly staff!! Thank you! We will be back when are back down towards SD read more

Really tasty sandwiches and Cobb salad. I would eat here all the time, too bad we don't live closer.

Finally made it over to Moto Deli. The Turketta sandwich was the best sandwich I've ever eaten! The homemade aioli was sweet and delicious. Also had their root beer which was excellent. The chips were piled high but slightly overcooked. We rode our bikes, and they had a big bike parking area which was nice. The setting was casual with wood picnic tables. We even met other patrons who were loving their meals too. The staff was friendly too. I'm already looking forward to going back. read more

The sandwich was good although pricy, I couldn't believe my $19 reuban didn't come with a pickle and I had to pay extra and wait in line again for a pickle. At that price point a pickle spear and even a few chips should be included. I don't mind paying for a quality sandwich but not a fan of the nickel and diming over pickles... read more

I have always heard good things about Moto Deli, so when my boyfriend and I were in desperate need of lunch on our way up the coast to run errands, we decided to stop in Encinitas so we could grab a sandwich here. The place itself is quite cute and casual right off of Highway 101, which is exactly what we were after, but the sandwiches, while not bad, left a bit to be desired. We decided to get two sandwiches and split them so that we could try different items from the menu. I chose the Turketta which includes, house smoked turkey, bacon, cheddar, avocado, mostarda, moto spread on squaw bread (I opted to substitute the squaw for an Italian roll). This sandwich was definitely the winner of the day as it did have some really great flavor. There was one slice of avocado though and that's my favorite part of a turkey sandwich so that was a bit disappointing. My boyfriend chose to order the Egg Salad Sandwich which was okay, but a bit on the mustard-y side. I did appreciate that they were not stingy with the egg salad though and the sandwich was filled to the brim. I didn't hate it and it was pleasant to eat, but it simply wasn't the best egg salad that I've had. We also ordered a side of the macaroni salad and it was incredibly bland. For all of the ingredients, it had no flavor and we hardly ate any of it. Overall, I do think you can get a decent sandwich here if you order the right thing, but there are definitely better sandwich shops around. read more

These sandwiches are bomb. They are not piled high like some other places, but you can tell the quality is great. Good mixtures if flavor. The outside patio is nice for lunch time. Order at the counter, and they bring it out to you. Great lunch spot! read more

Moto Deli is one of my go-to spots to lounge around with my dog and have a tasty sandwich and a cold beer. The dog-friendly dining area with picnic tables makes it ideal to hang out, relax and enjoy the lazy mornings. There are several sandwich selections from breakfast and also various cold or hot sandwiches. All of which I tried and pairs well with one of their cold beer selections. I tried the egg breakfast sandwich with bacon or pork belly. The options are to either add bacon or pork belly but of course I opted to add both. That made it an even more enjoyable sandwich. I've also tried the Turketta in which the toasty bread along with the tasty pesto made that turkey sandwich very easy to devour. The meat portions are also not dainty so it will definitely satisfy that hungry stomach. And lastly I've tried the Hamachi Sandwich. Meaty and fresh tasting that sandwich was. It didn't taste so heavy on the mayo which was a delight since I didn't feel sluggish afterwards. Ordering food and drinks are all done at the counter and you're given a number where your food will get delivered to where you're seated. The staff have always been energetic and helpful (with my indecisiveness) in the mornings I've visited. It definitely helps jump start my lazy day. read more

Good sandwiches great location good vibes and looks like people are hanging out there working and enjoying each other

The Bahn Mi (pork) was sweet and excellent! You also have to try the Blueberry Bambucha

This spot is super cute and our food was absolutely delicious. The hot chicken sandwich with coleslaw inside was terrific. We also tried the ginormous spicy dill pickle and the fresh chips. Everything was great but $3 for the pickle and another $3 for the chips seems to be on the high side. The interior is well decorated and there is a nice outdoor patio. They also had live music the afternoon we were there. We didn't try any of the beers but based on the menu, the options were strongly local and excellent. I hate to knock a place that is so inviting and comfortable and which serves such good food but the service during our visit was incredibly painful. Maybe the employees were having an off day but the place wasn't insanely busy and the counter folks seemed like they desperately wanted to be somewhere else. The worst sin was leaving our food on the counter for waaaay too long even when it was ready for us. Come on, take care of the customers. Just hand them their food when it is ready. That's not too much to ask. We'll definitely be back and hopefully, the poor service was just a one time thing. read more

Wow! Drove by this place a million times. We dropped in a few minutes before they were closing up. We felt kind of bad but we figured we would roll the dice. They were really cool about it. Tukato and Cubano were both amazing! Absolutely worth the trip. This is the best cuban style sandwich I've had in decades. Totally surprised by this road side wonder. We will definitely be making our back here for more. read more

Bit of a mixed review. Staff was helpful and attentive, and menu is vast and interesting sandwiches. However, the value was poor for what you get. Sandwiches are small, and overall kind of average. We tried four different sandwiches, a salad, and chips and pickles. We tried the pastrami, the Italian, the meatball and the veggie...and all were fine. Took a very long time to get our food. Very expensive for what it was. The patio is great, the location next to coffee house is awesome, and the staff were kind...but would not come back. read more

Oh wow this place is really good. I got the wild line caught tuna salad sandwich. Wow! So good! Best I ever had. #1 You must try this place !! read more

Moto Deli - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

Turketta: has lots of meat but was a little too sweet tasting. Cubano: very little meat. It basically tasted like a pickle sandwich. I like pickles but this was too much. Was disappointing. The only plus was the awesome toasty bread. Street parking only, not sure if any spaces in lot next door but it looks like they are reserved. Very similar to board and brew sandwiches. read more

Ordered the turketta and curried potato salad. Both were delicious, tasted healthy , and way better than board and brew. read more

Delicious sandwiches in a casual setting. I'll definitely go back when I'm in the area. Loved the sides. We had the homemade house chips, hot and fresh. And the curry sweet potato salad. Yum! read more

Out on a bike ride and stopped in for the first time at the new location. Good beer list. Quality sandwiches. I had the pastrami this time and I recommend it. Prices are a bit high but this is normal for the area and that's the price we pay to live by the beach. Service has ramped up since the old location. Walked in to a smiling cashier eager to help me make a decision. Jenny was her name and her beer recommendation was perfect. She knows her stuff. I will be back. read more

The outside tables are really nice and so are the people that work here. I had the pastrami sandwich and it was good but needed more meat, especially for $14. read more

food here is awesome, I've been thinking about it all day! I had a Reuben and their homemade chips and they were amazing, and I love how they have so much sauce on the side. Their cookies were pretty good too and the guy at the counter was extremely kind, will definitely return in the future. Also there's a good amount of parking and lots of places to sit read more

Fab. Was looking for some sub sandwiches that we could grab and go to eat at the beach, and Yelp does it again. Italiano and Cubano did not disappoint. Turketta was good as well, but can't say it was our favorite... which was hands down the Reuben. Large soft and juicy pieces of corned beef, with a buttered toasted rye bread. Amazing. Pick up parking right in the front. Highly recommend! read more

Sandwiches were ok. Had the Rueben and didn't have Swiss cheese on it. It's a cool laid back place.

Rueben with pastrami was very tasty but barely any meat and it was very noticeably that the end game was mainly bread which is not the point of a rueben. i guess there was a new worker at register because she first told me they took reuben off menu but then someone from BOH came to front and told her still on menu but no corned beef. sat on park bench outside and random people hanging out and doing zoom biz calls on macbook which was weird and i thought to myself how much i miss etiquette. what i really miss is sherman's deli rueben in palm springs. read more

Comfortable outside area to dine, charming coffee shop also... Beer on Tap! Sandwiches are Awesomely deliciousness! Menu is set up with elevated sandwiches with yummy jam or spicy bbq! It's a must try! read more

Good not great for so many reasons. Clearly a deli-brainchild of someone who has never been to New York or knows what a true sandwich should look and feel like. Yes, these guys definitely hit the mark with solid flavors. The food is tasty but the portions are pitifully small and the prices are honestly ridiculous. The $18 Reuben is not even half as good or a quarter of as satisfying as Milton's Jewish-style deli in Del Mar. The meatball sub, while quite delicious, was tiny. I mean, really tiny. If you brought that same meatball sub to anyone in New York they would laugh and call it a half order. Even though it still cost $13. YIKES! I wanna love this place, but they gotta cut the pretentious bougie sandwich vibe before I can consider it an actual eatery. read more

I come to Leucadia about twice a month to chill and enjoy what Leucadia has to offer. I haven't been in the area for a while but I saw this place and definitely wanted to check it out. In read some reviews and most of them were good. So this place is kicking mucho azz!! The one sandwich I had was damn good and it came with chips and a habanero pickle. I got a BLT and it was so good and it didn't skimp on the bacon like most places. They have some cool sodas and they have some unique cookies. When I'm in the area again I will come here again for a bomb azz sandwich at a fair price! This isn't the biggest place but they do have an outdoor patio. read more

Great sandwiches, beer, and kombucha! One of our favorite spots for a quick bite on the 101.

Don't bother with the turkey salad sandwich! It didn't have much filling and dripped runny mayonnaise. Worth about $5 (like a premade/packaged sandwich from 7/11. Absolutely NOT worth over $12. Will shop elsewhere next time. read more

Great service and atmosphere. But the food was pretty average. Not bad but not great as everyone claims. Was expecting a lot from the reviews but left underwhelmed. I think with a few tweaks in their recipes it would be better. Moto sauce was too sweet in my opinion. Sandwich was a little too saucy as well. Good vibe on the patio though! read more

Simply delicioso. I ordered the Turketta Sandwich with a side of Macaroni Salad. Everything was delicious and freshly made. Will definitely come back to try their other sandwiches. read more

This menu has various sandwich styles, hot cold, classic BLT or exciting Bahn Mi!! All tasty in their own way. The French roll used was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Personal recommendations are the Pesto Turkey and the curry potato salad. Call ahead if you want to take advantage of their togo parking. Otherwise this area can be busy since it's off the 101z read more
