Albacore tuna sandwich was really good, bread always seems a little chewy, might be because it's not made on site but still fresh. I think that's kind of the signature difference in addition to sprouts and pepper styles. read more

Hot meals, friendly, fun, fast service! Delicious sandwiches with the freshest ingredients! A little pricier than its competitor (Subway) but definitely well worth it! read more

Submarina - Sandwiches Near Me - Vista, California

Just got my lunch using doordash.com to order a sandwich. The only thing good was the driver - who doesn't work for Submarina. The website has an area for special instructions. I asked them to exclude 2 things, 1 of which I'm allergic to. The simple request was overlooked; and now my lunch is in the trash because the slime from the tomatoes soaked into the bread. Also my sandwich is advertised as coming with Provolone and they goofed their own recipe and used American, which I hadn't requested. Totally underwhelmed by the attention to detail and quality of this transaction. read more

Best sandwich in North County! They always use the freshest ingredients, and their Italian bread is insanely good. I'm a vegetarian and I really appreciate their wide variety of fresh veggie offerings. The restaurant itself is kept super clean and there always seems to be friendly staff working behind the counter. If you haven't been here yet, you've gotta try it! read more

Love, love, love this sub shop. From the positive sign as you walk in to the fresh veggies and polite staff. I have never had a bad sub here and would highly recommend trying them out! read more

My family has been a fan of submarina since I was a young girl. We love the peppered Cali, ATC, and club. They have the freshest ingredients of all the sandwich shops in my opinion. read more

I don't get subs too often but Submarina is just so much better than Subway in every aspect. Yes, you will pay a couple of dollars more for it but the amount of meat and quality of everything is what you're paying that extra for. I love the Santa Fe sub. The wheat bread is soft and delicious. My mom really likes the turkey and ham. They have a ton of different breads you can get and I haven't had one at this location that was bad. Service has always been great here, food is awesome but it can be a little busy during lunch. Which is to be expected. Definitely a great place to grab a sub at. read more

I LOVE this place. The squaw roll is so good! This is my favorite place to get a sandwich. I wish they were open later.

Don't bother. Over priced salad. Asked for extra cucumber twice & still only got a few thin slices. This $8 salad was half full and pitiful. I'm so over fast food at this point. Full service restaurants give you far more quality & quantity for your money. read more

Not sure why this place is so expensive?!?! Basically is Subway at nearly double the cost. Was clean but the staff was not overly friendly. I have had way better sandwiches and meals for the $11 I paid for one 6" combo. read more

Ordered Italian Sub over phone, maybe not a good idea. Asked for extra lettuce, tomato and pepperoncini. Rec'd what can only be described as minimal toppings (forget the extras and then some) and missing some toppings like onions and olives.. Ordered a whole sandwich which was cut in four sections, that's the good part. Bad was some sections had very little toppings at all. I've ordered sandwiches at Submarina since they first opened the doors in Escondido about 30 years ago. The sandwiches today are nothing like they used to be. Much less meat and overall toppings. Too bad, guess I'll have to look for a new sub shop. read more

man with the buy 1 get 1 free you can't beat this deal. Subway is joke compared to this place. buy 1 get 1 free available in different local mags. The 6" will actually fill you up, and the bread is much better than subway. Normally I don't give 5 stars, but for the quick sandwich shop that it is, its really hard to get any better. read more

I've been eating at Submarina for a while now, I went in today to order a salad approximately 1:30 pm, not that busy. One of the guys was wearing gloves but touching non food items as he went to the back and then to the deli table. He then proceeded to make my salad after the lunch meat was cut. He grabbed the meat off the table in a manner as if it was a towel, wiping the board and putting it in my bowl. He then grabbed other pieces meat in the same manor and put it in my salad. I paid for the salad and had the cashier throw it away. just because you have gloves on doesn't mean you can touch anything without changing the gloves. read more

I love Submarina- normally frequent the one in Escondido-it's the best!!! But I was near the Vista one and called in my order. They told me it would be fifteen minutes got there in ten, they hadn't even started my order. There were three people that came in after me and they were served long before me. I could've gotten in line and received my order faster! Once I got home my sandwich which should've had pepperocini's had green bell peppers. Called the store and asked for a manager no one was available but I left my number and it took the manager 1 week to call me back! Poor customer service I WILL NOT be going back! I'll stick to the one in Escondido which by far superior in quality and customer service! read more

I go to submarina frequently. I have tried many branches. I typically go to the west Oceanside location that is located on vista way. However when I am in the area I go to this location. I used to really enjoy this location but I went just last week and it was not good. The quality was simply okay, didn't pack a lot of anything at all on my wrap and my tuna was not the regular submarina tuna but one with just plain mayo which was again okay. I also came here with my mom who got a turkey sandwich who agreed that it was not very good and even complained that her bread was stale. The employees were nice and tentative. I just wish that the quality didn't suffer. If you are willing to, I would highly recommend the other location it is the only one I have found that stays consistent. read more

These locations are dwindling :( my favorite sandwich shop. Great location great staff

Bomb.com. Hands down best sandwiches in all of north county. Food is just so damn fresh, this place makes subway or any other place look like crap, been eating submarina for a while now and it's still my fav food to eat read more

Best Submarina location by far!! Everything is super fresh and the service is awesome. Very friendly!

We really like this Submarina because all the veggies seem really fresh. We especially like the avocados at this particular location. For some reason they seem much better than some of the other locations. Great for a healthy dinner! read more

I have been here numerous times and the quality of the sandwiches I order are always great. This is one of the best sandwich shops I know of in the area. My favorite sub is the Santa Fe on whole wheat. The employees are always very friendly and always greet you when you walk in the door. read more

I love submarina ! I come here during lunch and order a chicken & turkey on squaw bread. So good ! The costumer service is not great. They messed up my order, and burned my bread. There was a girl in the back eating and like ringing me up at the same time. Literally chewing her food. Subs great. Staff not so much. read more

This place is great, friendly employees greeted as we entered the shop. Promptly took our order. Great sandwich presentation. The sandwich was also delicious. read more

I've been to this particular location several times and it is always a pleasurable experience. Nice staff and good food.

fine service but get with the times and carry good lettuce like the other submarinas. also this is the only location that ive been to that charges extra for making into a salad. for better ingredients and price just drive a little further and go to the one on breeze hill and melrose. read more

In my opinion way better than subway, and I always leave this specific location with a smile on my face so I say highly recommended

We love and prefer Submarina to any other local sub shops we have tried. The ingredients are fresh, the staff is friendly, the food is very good and portions generous. The variety of ingredients should please most. One can actually taste the meat, cheese or vegetables in the subs (unlike some other places). The willingness of the team to adjust to your requests is good customer service. We on the other side of Vista really miss our Submarina on Melrose. read more

So frustrating.. Wanted chili.. But they put it away "early".. It was 7pm and they close at 8pm.. So sick of this place. Cleaning while we are still eating is also annoying.. Clean after you are closed.. I don't want to smell cleaning chemicals while I'm eating.. read more

I'm not really satisfied. I don't like the service, I saw reviews and came down to try but I don't want people to serve the food with attitude and angry face. I was hungry I'm disappointed read more

I've been going here for more than 5 years and I've seen it go through changes in ownership and management and staff. Through it all, they've maintained high standards in ingredients and service. Unlike the "other" sandwich shop, Submarina actually has real bread that tastes like bread (as opposed to Styrofoam). They also have whole produce that always looks wonderful. They slice the meat and cheese in front of you and everything is fresh. There are no flavorless sandwich breads-- they have selections like Squaw bread (yum) and delicious wheat bread. There are no green vats of mystery mash labeled "avocado"-- instead, they slice fresh avocados and lay the slices neatly across your sandwich. You can have your sandwich toasted, and the assortment of cheeses is fantastic (I'm partial to a melted mixture of Havarti & PepperJack). They have a decent chip assortment, and they run "combo specials" so you can get sandwich/drink/chips for a deal. It's true, they are a little pricier than the "other" sandwich shop, but only a little. And for the quality, it's worth it. Everyone that has helped me has been great, but I have to give a special shout-out to Rachel. She has been there for as long as I've been going there, and as far as I'm concerned she is a Sandwich Master. She has consistently delivered phenomenal sandwiches to me for the last half-decade and she always greets me with a smile and asks how I am. Submarina is lucky to have her. If you are in the mood for a good sandwich served by nice people, give this place a try. read more
