Big Kahuna
Denisse R.

Sub-marine is hands down the best sandwich spot. They give you a huge portion of deli meat and therefore their sandwiches are huge! I love their ATC sandwich with sprouts, tomato, onion and cucumbers. The service is great! Fast and friendly. Overall, an excellent spot to go for a quick bite. I heard they have great soups. I'll have to try one of them next time!

ATC and chili soup
Laura G.

Amazing sub sandwiches! Their menu is huge and there are lots of options for customization. The sandwiches were super yummy, we tried the ATC and the House sub. The sandwich makers were so friendly and the ambiance was really comfortable, like being in a really familiar place where you can just come and relax and eat good food. 10/10 for customer service. The ingredients tasted SO fresh. Portions were big as well, I got a 6 inch and could only eat half. We'll definitely be regulars here. This is the best place to get sandwiches! I want to go again tomorrow!

Mortadella and cheese footlong
Minji W.

My favorite sandwich shop of all time. The best bread, the best ingredients, the best store. I always feel like I'm in an early 2000s tv show hangout spot when I go inside. I love it sm, I risk my tmj for it. The bread is so soft it doesn't even hurt my jaw!!!

This might just be the best sandwich I've ever had. The crew is clean, efficient, and very friendly. Definitely felt a family vibe. The produce, meat, and cheese are so fresh and the French bread is so soft. I will definitely be coming back to try everything on the menu. PS: the sandwiches are huge and they make sure to stuff them full.

#33 the BIG KAHUNA (ham, salami, roast beef, turkey, pastrami, provolone, avocado, cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, Italian dressing)
Scott T.

was in San Marcos for a high school wrestling event and since I skipped breakfast was seriously famished by late afternoon. checked Yelp for a sandwich-place recommendation and happily wound up at Sub-Marine. ordered #33 the BIG KAHUNA (ham, salami, roast beef, turkey, pastrami, provolone, avocado, cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, Italian dressing). very solid sandwich. not shareable (or monstrously huge at the price point) but still managed to waddle out fat and sassy. family owned and operated with exceptionally friendly and efficient service and a warm, inviting vibe.

#9 on a sourdough roll & a Turkey, sprouts, provolone, on sliced sourdough custom made sandwich & Salt and Vinegar chips
Megan S.

Defiantly the best local deli in San Marcos. Service with a smile makes you feel at home, like your aunt or uncle is making you an amazing sandwich. Italian was absolutely amazing I ordered a 9 inch probably only needed a 6 inch as it is quite loaded with ingredients (just how I like it). Can also save the other half for later. Atmosphere was quiet and peaceful to have a quick bite to eat before a CSU San Marcos tour!

One of the best sandwich places around, never a bad experience. I only wish they had a better website where you can order catering online.

I love this place! Food is delicious. Would recommend to…read moreanyone, it's a little loud inside but if you're not eating there it doesn't matter. Staff is friendly. I did however have a bit a negative experience, picked up lunch couple days ago and got a chicken kabob bowl and as I bit into it noticed the chicken was undercooked. Didn't have time to go back and share with staff.

Why did I come here?…read more With a hunger for mediterranean and the worry that nearby Aria may be a bit too pricey for a quick meal, I brought my son out to The Pita Guys for some gyro or shawarma. What we found were limited options, higher than expected prices, less than helpful staff, and not the best of food. Being my first time, I had questions about the menu. The young pair behind the counter didn't seem to know what they were serving, as they kept looking at one another for guidance with little ability to give me much relevant info on anything other than what types or protein they had. Once I finally ordered, they started to taking and filling the orders of people behind me. It wasn't until a much older woman came in from the back before my own dinner started being prepared. Seriously, it was a pretty weird setup. The food was served Subway style, where they go down the line asking what you wanted added to your wrap. Shawarma meat is minced, staying warm in a tub, and scooped to order by a spoon resting in a bin of cloudy water. Not only did it feel a bit gross, but it also seemed that the bulk of the juice in the meat came from that watery spoon, as the shawarma I ate was very dry. When it came to my son's Shawarma Plate, the menu stated that it came with two sides. What they don't tell you is that the only choices on the 'sides' menu open to you are Hummus and a Salad. The much more desired sides of Falafel, Baba Ghanoush, or even kid friendly Fries, were not offered. Needless to say, my son ate his chicken and rice, but wouldn't touch his hummus. So, a Shawarma Plate and a Shawarma wrap ... dinner for two, not a ton of food, neither of us were all that impressed ... and it cost us over $40. Needless to say, with how everything tasted and what it took to get ... we won't be coming back. For the price it cost us, I think we'll stick with the far superior Aria up the street. Or, at the very least, try the Kebab Shop down the block.

This is a "large" bowl for $17. Pretty sad considering you can buy an entire rotisserie chicken at any grocery store for like $6-10.

I tried CAVA in San Marcos for the first time this past Sunday. It's a newer location and was…read morepretty packed, which I took as a good sign. Parking was easy, although the shopping center itself is very busy. The restaurant was clean, bright, and open with plenty of seating (inside and outside). The staff was friendly, and the line moved fairly quickly. The setup reminded me of a Mediterranean version of Chipotle where you move down the line and customize your bowl. My favorite part was definitely the sauces and dips. The Crazy Feta was so good that I would honestly buy a jar of it if I could. I also liked having black lentils as an option since that's not something I've seen anywhere else. Overall, I thought the flavors were good, but there were a few things that missed the mark for me. The falafel had great flavor, but the texture was very doughy and not my favorite. The lamb meatballs were also on the dry side. I also found myself wishing they offered gyro meat. I'm glad I tried it and can see why it's popular. While I'm not rushing back, I'd definitely give it another chance and try some different menu items next time.

The only con is that it is a little bit pricey in my opinion, but I have found it to be worth it. Another pro is I love that they have outdoor seating, and I can bring my dog. They also have TVs for sporting events that they show. It's also kind of a bonus that it's across from the bowling alley! Solid place, always recommend.

Since it was our first time, we went inside to order our mains first and then easily added dessert later using the table QR code. The outdoor seating is great! It was nice and sunny, though it did get a bit chilly later on, so definitely bring a jacket just in case. The "Crappy Meal" from the HH menu comes with a beer can and it was delicious. The Anaconda Bar from the dessert menu was incredible. It's like a seriously elevated Klondike bar. Their entire menu looks incredibly intriguing. I'll definitely be back to try more items, especially their June specials like the Pineapple Express Burger and the Spam Musubi Fries!
