This place is BOMB I love sandwiches and Rubicon is at the top of my list. Their bread is incredible and they have the best variety. AND you get a cookie with your sandwich?!? That was such a fun surprise. Saul is the best sandwich artist there and Fernando's customer service is unbeatable. 10/10 read more

Heard about this place on Reddit while looking up for a deli sandwich. Parking was a bit tough around 7PM on a Friday, but my wife and I were able to find some across the street. It's nice and air conditioned inside and no one was here, so service was fast. We ordered the rich boy and the stallion, both with Dutch crunch bread since that's the most popular one on Yelp (also because they were out of garlic cheese). The dining room was empty and we got our order about 15 mins after we ordered. It's kinda hard to hear your name being called from the dining room, so be mindful of that. I accidentally grabbed the wrong order from the same woman who took my order, so we were both at fault there. We got whole sandwiches with the intention of eating one half there and saving the rest for home. The sandwiches themselves were HUGE. You definitely get what you pay for. Both sandwiches were amazing. I'm a big guy but had trouble finishing just half of the sandwich. I'd definitely come back and try other stuff. read more

MASSIVE sandwiches. Great flavor combinations. Mini chocolate chip cookie included with your sandwich. Love that they have vegetarian and gluten free options. The restaurant has limited indoor and outdoor seating. In typical San Diego fashion, parking can be a struggle. read more

Been here twice now and I feel like that's just not enough. I need more of this place in my life but the wait... oof. That wait is long and painful to get a sandwich. So if you're in a rush, this aint the place for you. First time I came here was a few days before National Day of Mourning in November. I got a TooGoodToGo deal and it came with a bag full of breads. Breads they cooked too much of. It was amazing! I had Dutch crunch, Bleu Cheese, Garlic Cheese, Jalapeno Jack, Pesto, and Wheat. All in all, I left with maybe 50 rolls which was perfect. I gave some to friends, I gave some to those experiencing homeless, and I ate wayyyy too many myself! Second time I came here was on a Saturday around 1pm and it was packedddd. They were firing sandwiches out left and right. I was between a few options but eventually went with the "Giddy Up" which consisted of Prime roast beef, Swiss, roasted red pepper tapenade, caramelized onion, wild arugula, and creamy horseradish. They also have salads, acai bowls, and cookies. Most half sandwiches are around 13 dollars and full size are $20. It's pricey but once in a while it's great to splurge and this is definitely the place to do so if you want great quality and a huge sandwich that will leave you full all day! read more

5 star quality, 5 star service, plenty of places to sit and eat, and they have açaí bowls as well which was a nice treat! The inside is cool d and the drinks on tap taste homemade, would definitely recommend. read more

Rubicon Deli Mission Hills is a great spot to grab amazing deli sandwiches on the go. Definitely a grab and go type of location as the only offer bar style curb seating directly in front of the store. Amazing customer service from Mr. Jose. It was my first time so he gave me the run down on the menu and what is most popular. Do yourself justice and eat the sandwich immediately to grasp the deliciousness they are dishing out! I ate my deli sandwich at least 4hrs later or more and it was still delicious! I can only imagine how amazing it would have been eaten freshly made! AND.....they have a little hidden surprise in every wrapped sandwich! If in Mission Hills and your craving an amazing deli sandwich...Rubicon Deli is the spot to hit! read more

Amazing subs. Customize it however you want. Service is great and they make sure you're taken care of. Will be back

I've been seeing a lot of posts on the socials about Rubicon and their massive sandwiches. Big a** sandwich?! Count me in! Ended up doing a take out order which included said big a** sandwich, Achin' 4 Bacon, whole (duh) on Dutch crunch bread, as well as Rubicons house chips. Also I'm a sucker for a chocolate chip cookie so added a bag of their mini cc cookies. No lies here, sandwich was girthy. Loaded with hella amounts of turkey, bacon, avocado and of course that bread. This thing was something else; basically you needed to be a snake and unhinge your jaw for that first bite. I somehow managed this feat and was loving it until I roughed up the roof of my mouth. Some like that, me, well I'm dainty. So I picked off all of the crunch I could to minimize its painful effect. Overall great sandwich! House chips were smacking! Be sure to order a side of their house ranch dressing for dipping. These chips are crazy crispy and well seasoned, worthy of any mom's Tupperware party. Mini chocolate chip cookies, get these! Moist and chewy!! All in, a great sandwich spot. Parking can be tricky, but you can order take out or delivery via the apps. Definitely excited to try another one of their big a** sandwiches! read more

Been wanting to try for awhile so when I was driving by and a parking spot was open right in front it was meant to be. Decided on the Cowboy salad and I was happy with that decision. I do want to continue my way through the menu. Service was great. Yes you'll have a wait when it's busy yet it's worth it! read more

5 stars it is, one of my fav sandwich places in SD. First the customer service is great the Tio's & Tia's working there are great, friendly, fast & so are the younger workers. Lines might be long at times but they move fast. I suggest bring your own drinks because their fountain drink options are just ok, plus you'll save money. And I love that they give a free cookie wrapped in each sandwich, you still should buy a bag of cookies tho they are very good. Waffle chips are good too. Now for the sandwiches, I've had 3 & loved all 3. My fav is the Rubicon Special on pesto bread, main ingredients, smoked turkey, pesto mayo Gouda cheese, love it. Hog's Breath on Dutch Crunch bread is also winner & a go to for me as is the Super Mario, can't go wrong with any of those. And if you love pickles then get the pickle here, it's big & juicy drips down your mouth so maybe try to hide when eating it in public it might look awkward, just saying. Heard they have a good pastrami sandwich so I'm excited to try that next. If you love big, tasty, filling sandwiches then this is the place for you! They have a loyal fan in me, keep up the great work Rubicon & see you soon! (Also Yelp them, show them & you get a free bag of cookies) read more

I don't say this lightly -- Rubicon deli might make the best sandwiches I've ever had. I tried a few different options, including the Crandie, Whale's Veg, and Spicy Tuna. Every single one was outstanding in its own way. The Crandie is packed with flavor and perfectly balanced; the Whales Veg is surprisingly hearty and satisfying (even if you're not vegetarian), and the spicy tuna has just the right kick without overpowering everything else. What really sets Rubicon apart is the bread and overall build of the sandwich. Everything feels intentional, from the texture to the proportions, so you're not getting a soggy, overloaded mess, but something that actually eats well from start to finish. It's rare to find a place where you can try multiple sandwiches and not have a single miss, but that was the case here! Easily one of the most memorable sandwich spots I've tried and absolutely worth going out out of your way for. read more

Big ol sandwhiches worth the price, they don't skimp on anything! I tried the stallion and the super Mario. The stallion felt like a classic picnic sandwhich and was great but the super Mario was my favorite- it was so flavorful. read more

Such a large, reasonably priced, flavorful, and fresh sandwich. Is it the best sandwich I've ever had? Debatable. But it's definitely up there! I highly recommend the Giddy Up! The added flavor kick from the horse radish blew the other sandwiches I tried from there out of the water. read more

First time at Rubicon Deli and it did not disappoint. I got the spicy tuna sandwich on Dutch crunch bread and it was absolutely delicious. The flavor was incredible and the best part? Even the half portion is generously sized you will not leave hungry. I also love that they give you a little cookie as a sweet treat at the end. Highly recommend! read more

The sandwiches are HUGE! I love how it is so easy to order at the register or on the kiosk. There is also spacious seating inside and outside for a quick meal. * Giddy Up on Pesto Bread - 9.2/10 (the roast beef is sooo juicy. i love how they packed the sandwich with fresh arugula. the red pepper tapenade and horseradish added a nice kick to the nose and a unique twist on roast beef. would definitely get this again!) read more

Sandwiches are the best - Dutch crunch bread is the way to go! Absolutely love the rubicon special. Can't go wrong with the tapenade.

Sandwiches were delicious and the service was excellent. I enjoyed my Dom PASTRAMI on Dutch Crunch bread, with some bacon potato salad and a Société The Pupil beer. Inside. But they have outside seating also. Great place. Be sure to stop by and grab a great sandwich. And you geta a free cookie with your sandwich. read more

Dropped by here for lunch after always passing by it on India Street, and was really surprised by how amazing it was. Almost thought the place was a lot smaller when first walking in due to the narrow section at the register, so it was nice to discover that further down the line they had booths, tables and high chairs to sit at (plus outdoor). Ended up ordering the cranie which was their take on a turkey and cranberry sandwich, and that turned out really good. Also, loved that bleu cheese bread, plus that there was a mini cookie wrapped up with the sandwich. Got the chicken gumbo as my side which was tasty, and tried the simple salad that was just as good, plus a giant pickle. Price was pretty great, seeing how much you get with a combo added. Thank you! read more

$12 for Half A Sandwich is kind of steep in my opinion! This was my first time there and they said, "what bread would you like?" And lazily pointed behind them and I read the board, but choices didn't sound like bread. So, I asked... "is it the ones in bold?" Because the only thing that sounded like bread was wheat. He didn't really respond...but there was a line forming behind me and I was getting anxious because of that, so I chose randomly. I was still quite confused -- I wish the menu used up more of the negative space to clarify about it! I was still lost and just said pesto. I was thinking it was a spread that came on the bread lol. I went with the Rubicon Special and asked for no Gouda. Overall, the sandwich was good... I like the roasted red pepper tapenade and amount of lettuce that was on it. The roasted Turkey was nice. Apparently it came with pesto mayo, but the flavor was so light I could only taste the pesto on the bread. While this was a nice lunch, I don't think it's worth the price point of ~$12 ($11.49). Maybe if it included a bag of chips! Wrapped up with my sandwich was a mini cookie (but it was soft). I noticed later on that they had Flavored San Pellegrino and IBC Root Beer. Great selection! If you share with a friend, you can split the cost of the sandwich and it is much more reasonable. Not bad, the space was clean and there was outdoor and indoor seating. They call your name when it's ready. read more

Rubicon Deli Mission Hills - Rubicon Special , No Gouda, On Pesto Bread. - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

Rubicon Deli - Mission Hills OMG... this deli is amazing to say the least. All the 5-star Yelp reviews are absolutely legit. It was a beautiful Sunday in San Diego and my wife and daughter were craving sandwiches. We found Rubicon Deli on Yelp and decided to drive about 20 minutes to Mission Hills to try it out. Totally worth it. Parking was a little tough at first, but we found a street spot around the corner. We ordered the Rich Boy on Jalapeño Jack Bread, Rubicon Special on Pesto Bread, and the Crandie on Garlic Cheese Bread. Every sandwich was incredible. The bread is next-level and the flavors are packed into every bite. You honestly can't go wrong with anything here. Definitely coming back. read more

I love sandwiches and was excited to try Rubicon after hearing great things about it! The entrance is small, but you can place your order with a person up front or on a kiosk. I asked the server what I should get and immediately it was Rich Boy. When we placed our order, there is more seating on the side that we enjoyed at sandwiches at. It was massive, but every bite felt light that the sandwich was perfectly sized for a meal. I really like Rich Boy, but I do think the Bay Area's dutch crunch is the best. Perhaps I would try a different bread. Otherwise, great place! read more

I ordered via DoorDash and Y'ALL the whole sandwich was HUGE. i posted a picture of half with my hand for scale (look at my cute nails) and I truly wasn't prepared for how much sandwich this was going to be. BUT DAMN, it was bomb. I did the build your own with tuna, lots of veggies, on garlic cheese bread, and with their tomato basil soup. I only got through half the sandwich (lunch tomorrow now!) and i am stuffed in the best way. everything tasted so fresh and delicious, the soup was amazing with a great balance of creaminess and spice (+ the lil cheesy roll it came with was perf). I haven't gone in here yet, but I know the service was quick and easy form when i ordered to delivery, and everything was packaged so well. I will def be ordering from them again, and will have to go in person! Also - the mini chocolate chip cookie that was rolled into my sandwich bag was a nice touch and a great lil treat to end my meal! read more

While my photo looks like there's too much bread on the sandwich--the bread is phenomenal..... it's soft and has the perfect consistency to where all of the innards are still a prominent part of the sandwich. The spicy tuna is perfect. I've ordered a few other ones that are also amazing. I used to cater from here for my old job and everyone was always so excited for it. They can cut each sandwich in thirds which makes the perfect sized work lunch with some chips or a side. Even the veggie sandwich is so good!!! You don't even miss the meat. Perfect to order and take to the beach, to the harbor just a few minutes of a drive away--or even eating there if you're starved. I love this spot as a sauce lover, highly recommend asking for extra sauce on the side if you're like me. I'm becoming a regular here! read more
