The food is great but most importantly, the service is excellent. The family that operates this deli is extremely friendly and attentive.

My favorite sandwich spot in San Diego. Maybe anywhere in the USA.Tucked away in an apartment complex, Al & Nelly have been in the deli business for over 40 years.And it makes sense when you eat their food: An intelligent mix of classic deli sandwiches, specials, and new favorites.Take for instance Al's Famous creation - a club sandwich piled high with meat, bacon, avocado, and slathered in a secret Italian dressing sauce. It's the pinnacle of sandwich comfort food, and a lifelong effort dialing in the perfect textures, flavors, bites, and portion. They also call back to their heritage with a Falafel Friday special - fresh, crisp falafel right out of the fryer slapped between fluffy pita, homemade pickles, and a tangy yogurt sauce. It always runs out before close.Al & Nelly are super kind, running a tight, clean, and efficient operation. The amount of food you get with these sandwiches at these prices makes this deli meat pound-for-pound one of the best spots in San Diego for your breakfast and lunch desires.

My partner and I were in San Diego for the weekend and our local friends took us here. I asked for a spinach wrap with ham and pepper jack. Sandwiches often leave me unsatisfied but this was sooo good. Great value for huge portions too. I had enough for a lunch and a breakfast. We ordered ahead and the food was ready for pickup when we got there. It's a cute little deli nestled in a residential area -- most people probably would not know about this place if they hadn't lived in the area. It's definitely a local gem I would come back to!
What a great deli!! Not only are the sandwiches delicious, the customer service is a 10/10. We chatted with the owners and staff for quite some time. What wonderful people. My husband and I ordered the Reuben and the avocado + cheese sandwich. They were so good! We can't wait to return and try more items off of the menu. Thanks again!!

Believe the hype! Super friendly service, amazing bread, fair prices, fresh ingredients. First time there and was recommended to go for the Al's Club on squaw bread. I got double meat in anticipation that I'd finish it off later. Nope. Stuffed my face with the entire thing because I couldn't stop. The Al's sauce was pretty low key. Next time I'll ask for extra. Gave it a little tang.

Crossroads Deli is an amazing sandwich/lunch spot. I have worked in the area for many years and it has been one of my consistent go to's. Everyone is kind and upbeat and you know that they really care about what they do. The food is FANTASTIC! High quality and fresh ingredients and a wide variety of options to choose from. It's a great establishment, they have so much to be proud of!

Rachel and rueben is where its at! Rachel is the perfect contrast of swert and savory. The smoked pastrami combined with the sweet refreshing coleslaw makes me feel like ill never get sick of this sandwich. The rueben, made with corned beef offers the savory and sour, loaded with saurkruat. The sandwiches may not seem like a lot of food but im always feeling pretty full afterwards. Service is also top notch! Always have had a good experience here. No toddler specific menu items but the french fries here worked great
