    Turkey and Roast Beef Sandwich on a Roll
    Linford E.

    Located off the beaten path on a road that needs re paving, is a sub shop with a lot of potential. It is hard to miss driving by with little signage and next to an unassuming salon. The staff is friendly, but not very happy or at least the day I visited. The food was good and I will come back. When leaving, my sub fell through the bottom of my brown paper bag. Like I said, lots of potential, but with a little more welcoming staff and more reliable bags, I would have been able to rate this establishment higher.

    Was getting my car serviced and I walked over and got the Baja turkey and initially wasn't impressed by the presentation . However, if there's a place that can make a good sandwich it is Surf And Sub Deli l and I'll for sure come back! The lady at the front counter was so nice too.Prices were good

    Delicious food, great service, and staff were helpful with recommendations! Excited to try other menu items next visit :)

    $7 for a breakfast croissant chock full of real egg, bacon, cheese, avocado, and a lil slather of mayo that tastes even better than it looks? What a dream!That was including the $1.50 charge for avocado too! Officially, breakfast ends at 11, however the lady helping me was kind enough to still make the croissant for me when I came in at 11:30ish which I really appreciated. Polite, quick service, delicious, freshly made vittles in a clean, quiet space plus at a steal of a price... all of the above makes Surf n Sub a great go-to option for sandwiches in the area and tasty food in general when you don't want to brave a line or crazy parking.

    My foodja order that wasn't even close

    This deli is on our lunch list for Foodja delivery at work. The first time I chose a salad and it really wasn't very good. Today, I thought maybe the good Yelp reviews are based on sandwiches. My order clearly stated add onions, lettuce, mustard, tomatoes, and extra meat on ciabatta bread. What I got has no tomatoes, onions, questionable extra meat (additional $3) and wasn't on ciabbata. How can a $17 6" sandwich go so wrong?

    This lil shop is located in the industrial part of Kearny Mesa in San Diego and came here based upon my other yelpers' reviews. I can tell you for the sandwiches, we were not disappointed. I viewed the menu online prior to making my entrance through the door. This shop has a small parking lot shared with others in the complex, as well as street parking - but like everywhere first come first served. It seems like a lot of locals ventured here and pre-order their food. I noticed a soup special menu upon entering the door. I ordered the tomato basil for my SO, however and unfortunately he did not quite like it much. I didn't think it was too bad, wasn't great but okay. He was hoping to dip his sandwich in the soup. Otherwise our sandwiches were fully stocked with avocado and chicken and did I mention delicious? the bread comes from the California Baking Company and their bread is super delicious! I even went the healthier route and ordered a wheat - it was the best wheat I have tasted in a long time. Accordingly, the sandwiches are about $10+- depending on what you order. They have bottled beverages in the cold cases and offer some cold salads (potato salad etc.) in half pint containers. We will definitely be back to try other sandwiches as it was all made fresh and super delicious! Staff was friendly and efficient with the amount of orders for the time I came and the foot traffic in-and-out.

    Amazing/ great sandwiches freshly made to order. Service was kind and the place is quiet and comfortable

    Baja turkey on squaw bread
    Vanessa G.

    Searched through my Yelp for a good deli to try on my lunch. Happy to say I found an amazing one today. This sandwich was crisp and not one speck of dryness. Their Chipotle mayo was impressive it had the perfect hint of spice. I tried the Baja turkey on squaw bread toasted with extra spears of pickle. Todays lunch was a hit I'm coming back tomorrow morning to try a breakfast croissant

    A Wonderful Evening at Tahini Restaurant…read more We had such a wonderful evening at Tahini Restaurant! The service was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was delicious. They had unfortunately run out of baklava, but Raz came through like a superhero! Just 15 minutes before closing, he managed to bring two of us baklava--and what a way to finish the meal! That kind of service and attention to your guests really makes a difference. And don't forget to get the pickles! They're listed on the menu as pickled cucumbers, although to me, they taste just like delicious kosher dill pickles. I'm not sure why they're called something different, but that tangy flavor adds such an amazing touch to the meal. Thank you, Tahini, for a great meal, great atmosphere, and a great evening with my cousin. And Raz, you're definitely our baklava superhero! ‍ Five stars all around!

Opposed to standing in line, I ordered on the app and waited in my car. I was immediately greeted when I walked in a few minutes earlier than expected order completion. They let me know it'd be ready in less than 5 minutes. I liked the communication between team members and to the customers. I ordered completely different than my normal turkey and provolone. My order, which shall 100% be repeated, was: regular Italian on wheat, pickles, banana peppers, hot chopped pepper relish, oil and vinegar. I asked for extra pickles and banana peppers too. He said he put extra on the sandwich but the other locations give me extra in a cup. I asked for the cup and they made it no problem. I thought I'd take a Pic in the car, eat half and save the other half. Ha! That entire sandwich was gone in 10 minutes. Super enjoyable! The lot is tight and gets crowded, but because so many people are doing quick pick-ups, the turnover rate is high. You shouldn't have to wait long for a spot. ​Suggestion for Management: Adding shade or umbrellas to the outside tables would be a huge improvement! Other spots in the shopping center offer shade, which can definitely be a deciding factor for lunch on a warm day.

I assumed maybe they were out since I noticed a missed call afterward. However, the same thing happened again today. When I called, I spoke with Veronica, who was very kind and professional. I explained that if I'm paying for the more expensive subs, I expect to receive everything included. She placed me on hold to check with the staff and came back saying I didn't pay extra for bacon--only for avocado--and that bacon had been added to the salad. My concern wasn't about adding extras, but simply receiving the order as intended. Unfortunately, the preparation didn't follow my instructions this time either. I had also requested the relish on the side to avoid the salad becoming soggy, but it was still added directly on top. Again, I appreciate Veronica's help, but it's frustrating when the order isn't prepared as requested. Don't plan on going back !
