    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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

    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!

    Really, really solid chicken sandwich. We got the lowest level of spice and it was plenty of spice…read morefor us. The slaw is saucy, slightly sweet and the perfect complement to the crispy chicken. I like that it was crispy without having to be heavily breaded. The bun was toasted nicely as well to add to the crispy, freshness of the experience. Overall it was just really well balanced. On the critical side, I agree with previous reviewers that this doesn't need to be/shouldn't be a full service restaurant. The service was slow even when not busy which was fine since we weren't in a hurry but under different circumstances unnecessary. We actually got up and paid at the counter as we were tired of waiting. Also, duck fat fries were fun and I enjoyed having a few but having similar seasoning to the chicken was more than I needed. I would have preferred the plain I think. Next time I want to try the fish sandwich because I could see it being really good based on the chicken sandwich quality. Also, all the drinks coming out were so pretty and would be fun to try especially if slightly sweet to balance the chicken spice. Overall, we consider our visit a success and will be back for sure.

    We were so looking forward to trying this spot, but it was a big miss for us…read more The chicken sandwich just had too much going on flavor-wise. The coleslaw-pickles-spread-bun all have nice flavors individually, but crammed together with the chicken as well, they become cacophony rather than a symphony. We also tried the fried fish sandwich which was not fried albacore as the AAA Westways magazine stated. It was meh. The highlight was the potato chips and onion dip but they were too expensive for what they are. The $4 Diet Coke is a hilariously small bottle of soda. They don't offer ice for their water, servers are friendly but not too attentive. And finally... the bar stool seating at the tables on the covered patio is comically uncomfortable.

There was a long line - this place is so popular - but thankfully the line didn't take very long.

Grab our order number and find a seat and just wait for the food to come out. I was worried the food would take a while because so many people were there. The food came quickly, so there was no issue. I got a bivuoac berry cider which was delicious and very drinkable. I opted for some clam chowder, rocket salad, and the seafood curry as well. The clam chowder was delicious and creamy. Not TOO rich and not too salty. The rocket salad was pretty standard. I don't order any fish with it since I was ordering so many items already and I didn't want to be too full! Just wanted to add some veggies to my meal. The seafood curry had some great flavor. I was a bit surprised that the curry was more of a soup consistency. I was expecting a thicker and more saucy consistency but it was still good. I think it could've been a bit more flavorful. I liked the fish, shrimp, and veggies in the curry and I loved that they cooked the fish perfectly. It was nice and soft and had a delicious char on it. Overall, great meal and I thought the meal was decent value. Expected to come back and try more menu items.
