    I saw a review of Primo's Deli on a Facebook page and decided to come check them out! They just opened two and a half months ago and I just thought that since there isn't a lot of deli spots around SJ, Primo's sounds good for lunch! I ended up ordering there Reuben sandwich with their Dutch Roll! I never knew pastrami tasted really great with 1000 Island sauce! From the wonderful customer service shown through Rita and her husband to the delicious sandwich, I for sure rate this spot a 11/10! For sure you will not be disappointed! *Also, if you notice a one star review posted by that J.J dude, please consider check this place out because my experience was totally the opposite. Also if you notice, this person has a tendency to post bad reviews about other places as well.*

    Ruben was juicy and tasted awesome

    COME ON !!!! Everyone this little hole in the wall deli is the bomb. My Ruben was delicious juicy and top quality. Nice tables inside and out side too. I pulled in at 12.30 on a Wednesday and I was the only one. You gotta come try this hidden gem I definitely recommend it. You have to "Support Apoyo these familia business"

    Love this place. I have been here 3 times since their opening maybe a month or so ago. The ingredients are always fresh and tasty. My favorite sandwich so far is the #10. I have always wished we could get a worthy sandwich place on the East Side for the 8 years I have been here. Definitely worth a try!

    I found this place right after a long day's work. I didn't want any fast fattening food so I looked up "deli near me" and to my surprise, it was almost a 20-minute commute from my location. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. I browsed their menu and shortly after decided on the Primo hot sandwich. The chicken, bacon, avocado, and all of the side combinations with their melted cheese were worth fasting for lunch and choosing to eat here for dinner. It was a hearty sandwich but I wanted more. Went with something I can eat later and the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. So I went with the Cold Cut. If you have the opportunity visit this place. Great options and welcoming owner. ALEX and his wife were easy to talk with. Best of luck

    Had a #3 on Saturday. Toasted Dutch crunch, Fresh everything, slightly melted cheese, just the right amount of Mayo and mustard, felt like that sandwich was made with love. So good.

    #8 El Toxico

    These were the literally the best sandwiches I've tasted ever. Everything was fresh and had the best soft crunch to the bread. The inside of the place is still coming together, but I can't wait to see how it turns out. Tri Tip Sandwich Friday next!

    Sooo good! I'm happy there is a new spot like this in my neighborhood! I've tried the number 1 and the number 9, both were delicious! They were saucy, flavorful and messy! Just the way I like my sandwiches. 2 sandwiches set me back $25, but it was worth it. I really hope they do well and succeed here.

    New mom'n'pop sandwich spot on the east side. Sandwiches options are plentiful and the final product was delicious. Bread was fresh, the meat was full of flavor. Will be back and recommend, pretty soon there will be a line at lunch time.

    #10 El Cuhhh
    Jason P.

    If you're craving a sandwich, go here ! I came here hungry for a sandwich, and ended up getting El Cuema Cuh with everything and Dutch bread. It had a funny name and I didn't expect much but damn it was delicious. Best sandwich I've had in San Jose. Their service is also exceptional and they're super nice.

    My pictures honestly do not do the food justice ! If you are a sandwich connoisseur go check this place out ! I've tried two sandwiches so far and it's kinda now my mission to try them all lol ! They know what they are doing when it comes to flavor combinations! I've tried el primo and the comet

Parking can be difficult during peak hours but manageable. Their space is small so oftentimes it gets very crowded. I never fail to order their cheese rolls, pork bun and pate chaud. They are reasonably priced compared to other bakeries. My only complaint is that their cashiers sometimes speaks little english so it's hard to communicate. The first time we came here, there was a really long line but they have gotten better. I believe that they have undergone some renovation as the place looked more bright and cleaner compared to the first time we came here about 2 years ago. I definitely recommend 111 Bakery. I have yet to try their Banh Mi and other stuff. September 2026

Variety is good. Bread textures are fluffy, soft, and delicious. Employees are all very well trained and the ladies are helpful. Credit cards & cash accepted. If you really want a good footlong sized Banh Mi, it's thick and big in portions packed in them. I'm glad that I finally revisited. The busy parking lot is always congested, so come early if possible. Duc Huong sandwiches opened next door as well, so traffic has multiplied in front. Popular spot. Vibes are excited for businesses plus McDonald's too. Vietnamese and Hispanic grocery stores are still in business. I ordered two chicken pies, two BBQ pork buns, 1 vegetarian Banh Mi, 1 BBQ chicken Banh Mi, and 1 Grilled Pork Banh Mi sandwich full sized. All were made to excellence and the size is noticeably larger than most. You're definitely getting good quality and good bang for your dollars here. Decent prices and awesome in ingredients. $6.50 per sandwich this big is totally worth it. Chicken pies and BBQ pork buns plus other pastries/breads are all good here. You can easily find something you want in the $3 average range. The place looks great and it's still a very tiny shop, but the environment is surprisingly very good these days. No more old looking outdated store here. Standards are modern and efficient. I will definitely be back for more for sure. I'm liking it now.

The location of the store seems a little far away because it's in the corner by Safeway's gas station off to the side, so I imagine some people miss it. So keep an eye out for it next time you're in the mood for some hot subs. Chris, the owner, was so kind and explained everything to us. He was patient, informative, and professional. It's nice to see owners work at times and treat their customers so genuinely! So thank you, Chris! The store is honestly decorated so well. There's details everywhere on the wall, and it's all dedicated to San Jose culture and first responders. The ambiance felt local and cool. Now for the food, my husband ordered the Build Your Own Sub with Pastrami and it was delicious! I ordered their new and off the menu French Dip sub with aus ju and IT WAS SO GOOD. Highly recommend to get it now while they have it! Special notes: - All subs are served hot! - They have a hot sauce bar with unique sauces all leveled off from (1-10). 1 = mild and 10 = spiciest! Affordability: both of our subs came out to be around $20 for two large subs. Some people may view the prices as pricey, but if you get a large sub it's definitely worth it. Check out the photos for reference (I don't think the photos do the large size justice though because they are HUGE) and give Firehouse Sub a try for yourself!

There are both outside and inside tables, and plenty of people hanging out and enjoying their breakfast. I didn't love the avo & tomato sandwich, I think because it has a fried egg and not the fluffy scrambled eggs, so the egg kind of disappears and most of what you taste is the bun. The tater tots were fantastic though, as was the special coffee with vanilla. I think I'd go back to make sure I order something with the fluffier eggs. The staff was very nice and also hard working.
