Excellent sandwiches, excellent selection and awesome customer service. This little market packs a big punch! Is it pricier? Yes it is. That's because this isn't a large volume market. They're providing a service that no one else has attempted and provide all the basics abd then some for many miles in either direction. Thank you for everything! read more

The sandwiches are so good. Had the lemon pepper turkey and it was delicious. Had to split it into two meals it was so stacked.

SUPER COOL place to stop in. Shares the parking lot with a BBQ place, pizza place and Nessy's Burgers. Big lot, looks small from the outside, but impressively spacious on the inside. Almost like a one stop shop/mini grocery store which must be convenient for the residents in this area. They have anything from home goods to frozen food items, a small produce section, dairy, snacks, breads, candy, a cigar case, lots of alcohol beverage choices and and an impressive selection in the wine aisle. They even have a deli counter to purchase meats and sandwiches as well as a Thrifty's ice cream counter. Service was friendly and helpful, an employee stopped to ask if we needed help finding anything. This will definitely be a must stop the next time we are in the area! read more

I can't believe I didn't take a picture of the sandwiches last night. We went late at night when the deli was closed however they make fresh sandwiches and pack them so you will find some. The 395 had jalapeños I had to remove those but left some for my husband and he absolutely loved it. I still love the sandwich. The bread was delicious. My avocado was fresh. There was lots of meat and a thick slice of delicious cheese when I got home I added my own mayo and mustard, but they do come with packets, which has been used . These are giant sandwiches so you can actually share. we often use this market when we are making something and need some celery, some cilantro, some onion something that we just need and don't need to go to a giant grocery store for. The checkout counter is always kind and upbeat and friendly. Everyone is nice there if you're craving anything, you will definitely find it here a bottle of wine, some chocolate chips, food, avocados, fruit, or whatever you're looking for. what does a writing review? I still have a piece of so I started eating it. It's a Fallbrook fav. read more

Pala Mesa Market - What's left of my sandwich lol this was the turkey. - Grocery Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Really reasonably priced sandwich deli with a big variety of options. Sandwiches are always packed with deli meats and toppings. We love coming by and grabbing a couple sandwiches on nights we don't want to cook. You can also call ahead and order over the phone for pick up. The actual market is well stocked with your basic groceries but as expected, it is pricier than a regular supermarket. They also have Thrifty's ice cream if you're craving something sweet! Small parking lot shared with Pala Pizza, The Ribshack, and Nessy Burgers but people are in and out so it's relatively easy to find parking. read more

We love the sandwiches from here! The lemon pepper turkey, chicken salad and 395 are all awesome

I'm giving this stop five stars! Small looking from the outside huge inside! The store has liquor, cigars,a full deli, a thrifty ice cream,a wine section and a seasonal selection. Had a sandwich and was very impressed! They had my seasonal cranberry sprite which was a sweet surprise. While checking out the cashier was so nice and then surprised me by asking if I wanted to take a pie home since they just would be throwing it out anyways.... Great first experience! read more

They have a really good deli with freshly made sandwiches. The chicken salad is good and so is the buffalo chicken sandwich. The squaw bread with the chicken salad sandwich was really fresh. The sandwiches are big, you can save half for lunch tomorrow or a light dinner. They have a nice variety of items at this market. Fresh fruit, vegetables and local bread. Busy during lunch but they get you out very quickly. They are in the parking lot near Nessy's burger, BBQ and a pizza place. read more

Love this market! Awesome sandwiches, great selection of grocery items and very friendly people!

Amazing service, very friendly and excellent on locations of their products. Fast check-out Everytime.

Such a great local market for grabbing those items you forgot to get or just ran out of when you don't want to make that longer journey "to town." Excellent fresh sandwiches too. The best part is the staff...everyone is always so friendly and helpful. read more

I'm so happy I discovered this GEM I Absolutely Love the Sandwiches ! I stop everyday . Awesome

Really the only market on the East end of Fallbrook, near where we live. Good selection of everything. You pay a bit more here, but the alternative is driving another 15min into town. Good beer selection. Sandwiches are good too. Open early and stay open late, love that. They have all the essentials and have saved my family a lot of time when we realize we're out of milk, or need a quick veggie to pair with dinner. read more

Worst Italian sandwich ever. Too much mayonnaise and too much meat. Super unhealthy. I would never recommend.

Love finding hole in the wall places. The Market has everything you would want. But the Deli! Amazing!!!!!! I always try to stop and get a sandwich here. Service is great, very nice and quick. read more

Clean and great place for groceries, drinks, fresh sandwiches, ice cream. Service was great!

Good food lots of liquor good service only store that was anywhere close to any other store there's just this store had all the food

Clean. Great deli. Decent prices. Fast check out. The new ownership has definitely made this market a place to shop.

Rude customer service I felt like the lady checking me out was rude felt discriminated towards and not welcomed

While I would probably feel more genuine if I gave this local market 4 stars, I am going to award it 5 stars to offset a couple of oblique 1 star reviews. They have a 50/50 business draw of locals to passers-through. It is conveniently located just up the road from a busy gas station right off the 15 freeway. There are no other businesses in the vicinity (less Nessy Burger, next door) so if gotta have it, it's the only choice. They have a little bit of everything in this humble store, from canned goods, salad dressings, chips and a small selection of produce. As others have mentioned, they have a small deli counter and play host to an ice cream dispensary. Two things that really stand out for me are the beer selection and a brand of hot sauce that is generally found online. I hesitate to say this, but they regularly carry beers from Russian River Brewery (aka Pliny the Elder) which can be especially difficult to find in San Diego County. For being the only game in town, at least for the next few years, the prices are fair, people are friendly and selection is just enough to get you by in a pinch. If your in the area, stop by and grab a snack. Great way to support a local enterprise. Adam read more

Not sure why this place does not have 5 stars, it's such a convenient market that has almost anything you forgot to get at your local grocery store. Their sandwiches are delicious and come in a generous size. The staff are very professional and friendly and they keep the Market clean All the time! I have never seen the market dirty or "rancid" like some lady put in her review. If you notice those that posted a bad review barely post any reviews at all in General and sadly are are using Yelp as a means to try and hurt a business Which is not okay. Don't pay attention to those irrelevant comments just check out the market for yourself, I'm sure you won't have a bad experience with them. Oh yeah! Also a great place to get Scratchers and Lotto tickets !! read more

So glad this place exists! Great prices and great selection for a mini market! My family goes here multiple times a week over driving into Fallbrook! Now if only they could stock Starbucks oat milk dark chocolate cold brew!!! read more

This place is convenient if you don't want to run all the way to Oceanside or Temecula for simple things as sugar, milk, or bread. Always friendly service. Same shopping center as Nessy Burger and The Rib Shack. They have ice cream you can get by the scoop and they make sandwiches to order inside. Cute little small town market feel. read more

Had a great experience at the Pala Mesa market this afternoon. It was very clean and laid out nicely with great options to pick from. My husband wanted Nessy burgers for lunch but i wanted something a bit lighter and healthier so i ran in to see what i could find. I grabbed a freshly made sandwich from the deli counter and it far exceeded my expectations! It was a generous helping of turkey, avo and bacon (the important stuff). The staff was all very polite and kept busy with customers, cleaning or stocking. I will be back! read more

Pala Mesa Market - HALF of my Lemon pepper Turkey sandwich with bacon, avocado and cheese on a croissant. Excellent. - Grocery Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Love this market! We stop on the way home from the beach or just go to go. Really nice place that carries a little bit of everything! And really good locally baked bread! A decent veggie selection and deli, a decent frozen food section and Thrifty ice cream by the tub or scoop! The lady that works there is so super nice, I look forward to seeing her too! It IS on the pricy side, but we know what we're going for do it works out! read more

Customer service is for real amazing, and they have my favorite drink, (prime). I love this place and stop here alll the time to get snacks

Without a doubt, the Italian sandwich I had was the best I've ever experienced. It was absolutely exceptional. The service was commendable, and the employees were friendly. read more

Was heading to Pala for a concert and decided to buy outside food! I went to the market to get sandwiches that looked amazing in the pictures. They were amazing. It was full of meat and the bread was delicious. Me and my partner could have easily split one sandwich, they are stuffed! I ate half and had the second half 2 days later and it still was delicious. Totally worth the cost! And the market had a lot of items. Good customer service. read more

Such great variety of grocery items, delicious sandwiches, and great customer service! Love this little market!

Great convenient market for locals, or for anyone needing to stop off the 15! Their sandwiches are huge and delicious, my husband and I easily share one. Good quality meats and unique add ons. You can expect that prices are slightly elevated because of the convenience factor, but they have a great selection of veggies, milk, eggs, etc when you're in a bind. They also have a great selection of wine and alcohol! read more

I just moved to Fallbrook and live close to this little market. I have to say that the deli counter makes the best sandwiches. The bread is always fresh and the vegetables and proteins are high quality. The sandwiches are a little pricey, but I don't mind paying extra for a terrific sandwich. Once we discovered the deli, it has been put on the list of favorite places to eat! The staff that work the deli and the store counter are ALWAYS very friendly and helpful. We go into this market a couple times a week and at different times during the day. The service is always great. This little market has been added to my 10 great reasons to move to Fallbrook! read more

Stop here to load up on snacks, Ice and killer sandwiches for a day at the beach. I don't do bread so the guys layered all the fixins of the 395 sandwich up for me perfectly . Yum! Grabbed a few ripe avocados and some fresh berries for the baby too. Love it! read more

Pala Mesa Market - 395. Turkey bacon avocado salami.. what's not your like!? - Grocery Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Great little market! Everyone that works here is always pleasant and helpful. They have a good selection of beer, wine and spirits. A bit pricey for spirits, but what can u expect they are the only thing around. I had a deli sandwich for the first time it was fantastic! Piled high and the pickle deserves an honorable mention great spice it's pickled in. Might ask for 2 next time.. lol All Thurman's meats which have no added nitrates.. the good kind! The deli is a perfect addition to all the surrounding food places, a nice healthy alternative to Nessy. I appreciate you all thank you! read more

Pala Mesa Market - Thurman's Santa Fe turkey, jalapeno cheesy bread and swiss with just the right amount of fixings - Grocery Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Well, we moved to Fallbrook this time last year, and we have become a regular at this market!! Super convenient, great selection of food, and other necessary items! We are regulars, we got too know Al!! Great guy!! Always so pleasnt and funny! So, besides going to the market everyday for the last year, I have a short story to tell. My husband asked what I wanted for Easter this year and I told him, "No Candy"! Get me some lottery tickets! So Easter comes and he bought me $40 worth of scratch offs! So, I'm scratching and winning little amounts here and there, and I'm down to my last scratch off! What happens!!!! I HIT FOR $5,000.00!!! NEVER IN MY LIFE DID I WIN ON A SCRATCH OFF! I WAS SO EXCITED DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF!! Needless to say, I ran up to Pala Mesa market, and let them know the good news! read more

What more could you want from a convenience store? It's CLEAN, well stocked, the employees are friendly and personable, and they even offer a deli and ice cream cones. It's a little pricey, but the quality justifies it. Stop in and grab a bite or whatever last minute ingredient you need to make dinner! Wish they had hot coffee in the morning, that's all! read more

Solid sandwich that's made fresh behind their counter. Friendly service as well and they will accommodate for whatever you want on yours. Note that these are relatively big sandwiches - lots of meat on each type (we got 4 different ones that day). We only needed a quick bite before playing golf at Pala Mesa down the road - we probably could have ordered 2 and split it amongst the 4 of us. read more

Go there for the sandwiches and you will not be disappointed. Great price, excellent quality meats, friendly staff. Skip the long line for a burger, have an awesome sandwich instead! read more
