    Hoping for a decent pastrami! Taste wise - decent and probably the best for Sacramento. Nice roll but would have preferred a crispier one that is neutral in flavor and less sweet. I grew up eating pastrami sandwiches in Los Angeles where stands were on nearly every corner AND piled high with juicy, savory pastrami. I had one when I was there in November 24 and paid $18.99. This one was $11.50. I also had 3 times the pastrami and it was about 1.5 times bigger - enough to share with my sister I can not figure out why SoCal is able to maintain the ratio of pastrami to bread and nobody else in the state seems to be able or maybe even want to. Maybe there isn't the interest here. ‍ The lunch spot itself is a walk up in midtown. A variety of sandwiches were offered. No salads though except sides of macaroni or potato. I wish they offered a slaw for a bit of acid relief. They also offer breakfast. I tried the potato salad. Very average - potato, mayo, a bit of relish maybe? There was plenty of foot traffic on this Tuesday. They offer daily specials and are quick to get orders out. There is also outside as well as inside eating. I would return to try their other offerings, which include both hot and cold sandwiches. A nice space for a decent, reasonably priced lunch or breakfast. Give them a try!

    3 tri tip tacos and fries
    Mario B.

    Tried Roundhouse Deli for lunch. I popped in during lunch on a random Monday afternoon at their Alhambra location. Small dining room with grill going out front that smelled delish. I took a recommendation from the person taking order and asked for the 3 tri tip tacos and fries. The tacos came out loaded with cheese. The meat quantity I would say was average. They weren't bad, but they weren't great either. I wouldn't get them again. I should have trusted my instincts and went with a burrito. Fries were fresh. Crispy and thick. If I return. I'm trying a sandwich or burrito. I'd give it a 3.7 out of 5.

    Roundhouse Deli has been on my list for a long time, but being as they close at 3pm, I could never find the time to visit. While in the area on Saturday, we were finally able to stop in after my daughter's jiu jitsu class. Roundhouse Deli is located on Alhambra Blvd and only offers street parking since it is Midtown. The inside was spacious with plenty of seating, they also offered tables outside as well. We were greeted when we walked in and ordered at the counter. We ordered the Tri Tip Tacos, Jeremy Burrito and a Sausage Breakfast Burrito with no potatoes. I loved everything we ordered - the tacos were smokey and flavorful and both burritos were huge and simple yet still tasted great - even without salsa or hot sauce, but they do offer red and green salsas. Both were great and spicy! They also offer canned and bottled drinks. We went with a bottled Topo Chico, a canned Coke and a bottled Orange Juice. Overall, I was really impressed with Roundhouse Deli. We were kicking ourselves for not visiting sooner, but being as it is around the corner from my daughter's class, I can see this becoming our new Saturday lunch routine! There were so many other items on the menu that I can't wait to try - like the Rueben and Cheesesteak sandwiches! My mouth is drooling just thinking about those tacos! Can't wait to come back! Check them out!

    Tri tip breakfast burrito & bbq smokey sauce in package. Hot off the grill
    Bonnie C.

    If you're hungry at breakfast & anywhere near the deli-- the tri tip breakfast burrito is to die for!!! They package their own smokey hot sauce. Half was good for me, but Im a slight eater. We got it to go & it was hot.. just as it should be. They cook it fresh

    Fish tacos (limited time) and tri tip tacos
    Elizabeth D.

    We've been wanting to try their famous tri-tip tacos and had a chance to stop by around lunchtime on a weekday. They had fish tacos for a limited time, so we got one order of fish tacos and one of the tri-tip and shared. It was all delicious, especially with their hot sauces/salsas. Service was super friendly and kind. We let them know that it was our first time, and they gave us a free cookie for our little girl. They seem to have regular and thankful customers. We left smelling like smoke from the smoker out front, so just be aware if you need to go somewhere afterward smelling good! Overall, it's a great addition to the neighborhood, and we're looking forward to trying other items, like the sandwiches.

    Potato Salad
    Tommy P.

    Drove by this place constantly on the way to drop off my girlfriend at work, and I swear that smoker runs 24/7! It must be nice to live in an area where you wake up to the smell of smoked meat on the daily! I chose to stop by after clearing some time in my schedule for a quick, early lunch, and boy it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in a long minute! The staff are extremely cordial and felt like a nice slice of East Coast hospitality. Kindness without all the fluff, a staple of a great sandwich shop. The interior is plainly set up with some occasional tandem benches set up along the wall, giving a bit of a more casual setting. I haven't come here late enough to see a major rush, but I can imagine it gets busy. I ordered the Tri-tip combo with a potato salad. The total came to a little under $17. It's a bit more expensive compared to the chains that have daily deals/combos, but for the quality that they provided, I would have paid a much greater sum. The sandwich came out quickly, and they walked my to-go order over to me, which was an appreciated gesture, seeing that I was across the store. Reiterating that customer service is not often a criterion that adds to my score (unless it's a restaurant that is renowned for it), but I always want to provide recognition where it is deserved. The tri-tip was beautifully and perfectly smoked, resulting in tender and delectable slices of meat that paired perfectly with their BBQ sauce and mayo. I was going to save it for when I arrived at a nearby cafe, but it smelled too damn good not to eat in the car at that very moment. The fixings of lettuce, onion, and tomato were fresh and helped provide a contrast of crunch to the sandwich. Absolutely devoured, would get again, but I need to try everything else on their menu for the sake of exploration. 9/10. I was also pleasantly surprised by the potato salad. It had a strong edge of acidity, which paired wonderfully with the beefiness of the sandwich. I believe that the bell peppers also gave a nice savoriness, but I didn't get a chance to fully analyze the flavors before I snarfed it down. Oh well, that just means I have to come back again at some point and write another review. Not saying that I have a problem with that at all haha! 8.5/10.

    Tri tip sandwich

    I come here like once every other week when running errands nearby and it's worth it every time. I've gotten the tri tip breakfast burrito as well as their sandwich. Both really good and fresh. Staff are really nice. It's a chill spot and the smoker is always going. Good vibes all around.

    Andre B.

    Upset that I didn't know about this place sooner, what a hidden gem! I love their tri-tip sandwich, will have to come back and try their tacos and pastrami sandwich too. The fries came out fresh and the service was fast! Only con about this place is that they close mostly 3pm. If you're in the neighborhood I'd recommend coming for their daily specials!

    Daily Specials
    Melissa G.

    Roundhouse Deli is one of East Sac's best kept hidden gems! I passed Roundhouse Deli while running errands and circled back because of the smell alone. Their smoker is out front and you can smell the smoked meat from down the street. It's truly mouthwatering! I stopped by for lunch and saw they have daily specials. I decided to order the Cheesesteak Combo, which comes with a choice of side and fountain drink. Service is at the counter, and we ordered to-go, even though I'd like to come back and sit at one of their picnic tables next time. The Cheesesteak is one of the best I've ever had! The cheese pull was awesome and I liked the smokey flavor of the meat. Surprisingly, it was a very neat sandwich, not messy, and filling. I ate half and saved the other half for lunch the next day. I'll definitely be coming back!

    The Mark Burger
    Jay S.

    Roundhouse Deli delivered great service today. Everything came out very fast. I ordered the special, the Mark Burger Combo, and it absolutely surprised me. I don't remember it ever being that juicy before, but today it was a work of art. The cheese was perfectly melted and every part of the burger was on point. I would definitely order it again. I'd give the Mark Burger an 8.5 out of 10 and the fries a 6 out of 10. The fries were fresh and salted, but they were pretty basic and didn't really wow me. The Mark Burger, though, was delicious and I highly recommend it.

    Tri Tip Tacos
    Patrick R.

    I was hesitant at first to get the tri-tip tacos as it just looks like a cheese fest but omg I was wrong. These tacos were DELICIOUS. The tri-tip smoke flavor is a 10/10. I now need to come back for a breakfast burrito as I heard they were amazing.

Of note, the salsa rojo at the self-serve condiment station carries quite the spicy sting. Next is the authenticity; they display their entire cooking process from homemaking the tortillas to serving the tacos fresh off the grill. It's occupied by two employees hustling away and running operations like a well-oiled machine. Despite arriving at the same time as two other customers, I had my order ready in 7 minutes.

Service was fast;however, I was surprised by the price of $33 for 1 pastor burrito, 1 pastor vampirio and 3 tacos. One of my gripe is if a place doesn't list their prices so I'm basing off my knowledges from previous reviews and I had assumed the tacos would be $3 each. But onto the food: Asada taco: beef, chewy and tough but substantial Pastor taco + pastor burrito: the best cut of meat. It was hot when I got it and it was very good. Well marinated. Pollo taco: you can probably skip this, the chicken is a little bit plain and dry Vampirio: similar to a tiny quesadilla. Two crispy tortillas with cheese + meat sandwich in between Overall the place is decent if you're getting the pastor meat. I do like the self service but I wish the price of the items were more transparent

And I cannot express in words how excited I was for this location to open up a few years back. So if you're tired from shopping head on over to the restaurant for delicious tacos!

I usually order the carnitas (drooling, has the right amount of soft and crispy bites), carne asada, shrimp and fish tacos! I have also tried the quesadilla which is packed with meat so there's bang for my buck. They put a good amount of meat on the tacos and toppings as well, so I get full pretty fast because of all the protein. Can't forget to mention the complimentary, fresh salsa bar with the grilled onions and jalapeños! The chips are mostly fresh, I have gone on some days where it appears and tastes like the chips were double fried and stale. But overall, on most days, the chips are warm and fresh. The staff are friendly, hard-working and they keep the place spotless and clean! It's a taqueria I have gone to several times in the past and will keep going back to for the refreshing margaritas, yummy tacos and excellent customer service. FYI- I believe they offer slightly lower prices if you pay with cash versus paying with card so it might be a helpful thing to know for people who carry cash.
