27 Best Sandwich Shops near Solana Beach

“The cleanly, scenic outdoor eating area paired well with the fresh, tasty ingredients of my #13 Original Italian. I spent a week in SoCal, stretching from San Diego to L.A., and everything in-between. I enjoyed plenty of memorable culinary experiences along the way, but I make it a point to stop at a Jersey Mike's when I'm traveling. I'm never disappointed.“

“Nothing but good coming from On A Roll! I started working in the area about 6 months ago and this quickly became my goto lunch spot just about every day. What can I say, I love sandwiches and plenty to choose from at On A Roll. Simple deli atmosphere and I can't help but smile and laugh when talking with Lou and his amazing staff.If you're hungry, go for the Ultimate 9", the Rueben is great (the rye bread is the bomb!), or go for something different like the High Roller. I've tried just about the entire menu and it's nice to go to a sandwich shop with their own style, not the same old same old. Some of the combinations are adventurous and absolutely worth a try so I recommend breaking out of your shell and trying something new.My biggest note is that you always check the special board for the special of the day. Lou has some tasty specials so don't forget to check the board. Sometimes I forget and kick myself once I see what I missed.My final words: Get over to On A Roll and help out a tasty small business that won't destroy your wallet like everyone else!“

“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.“

“Went there for lunch out of curiosity and loved it. Went back for dinner and asked about the sautéed veggies, though I had the salad as my side. The owner brought me out a bowl of the veggies to try for free! Everything was fresh and delicious and I will definitely be back!“

“The best authentic Vietnamese"banh mi" in Southern California. I live in LA, but every time I travel to San Diego, Paris Bakery is always my first place to visit. They have a variety type of Banh mi with reasonable price, their tastes are always delicious.“

“Great restaurant. Relatively quick service (~5 mins for one sandwich). Like someone else mentioned, it smells great as soon as you walk in. Patient and polite service as I needed a few minutes to look over the menu. While large menus can be a bad sign, you can see them making everything fresh to order. I got the Reuben and it had a lot of meat, great bread, great sauerkraut. Definitely will return“

“I went to Urban Cafe and I just wanted to say that they have very delicious food and their service is very good.The people there are very nice and respectful plus, their food is healthy and delicious. Their management is great and everything is clean and tidy. I simply love it!“

“The cheese shop was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Italian supreme and it was perfect. Very fresh soft bread and the deli meats were delectable, the oils and seasoning really made it great. The service was also amazing even though I just ordered a sandwich and made my way out. Unfortunately my debit card was having issues and they could not have been nicer until we figured it out. Great place and would highly recommend even if you are not in the La Jolla area, it's really worth the trip if you're in the greater San Diego area.“

“Can’t believe it took me this long to find this restaurant. The portions were massive af and the sandwiches are really tasty. Big amounts of every topping and meat, can’t go wrong with anything you order. I ordered the Dapper Dipper (roast beef, swiss, tempura onion, horseradish, au jus) and he got the Rich Boy (chipotle chicken, avocado, monterey jack, lettuce, tomato, onion, garlic mayo). Both were really good but I think I liked the Dapper Dipper better. Would recommend everyone to check this place out.“

“Best sandwich shop around. This is the original one and its in the best location. Easy to take one to-go and bring it to the beach, or stay and have an ice cold brew while there. You must get their sauce if you go. In my opinion it what makes the sandwich SO incredibly good. I usually get the cold ones (turkado) but i have had the chicken sandwich as well which was great.“

“We must protect Subman Sounds like i'm calling to civilians to save some sort of superhero, and I sort of am... The prices here are insanely good for what you're getting. And the selection of sandwich items is off the charts. They have so much good stuff here from italian subs, to meatball, to roast beef. If you've overlooked this small, unassuming shop, sequestered in its corner, think again. Sandwiches were also incredibly tasty, bread was yum, meats high quality, service was nice. This is a hidden gem“

“I love Moto Deli! The sandwiches are excellent! My favorite is the Brisket sandwich, which they BBQ on the premises and the Cubano! Also, don't leave without having one of the peanut butter cup cookies! The patio always has a lot of bikers stopping by for a bite and is dog friendly! If you are on the coast stop by you won't be disappointed!Bobby D.“

“If you're getting lunch at the Del Mar Highlands, there are two clean winners - Ike's and Mendocino Farms.Mendo's the place to go for healthy. Perfect balance between filling and light, I never feel weighed down after a meal. Try their Not So Fried or the Chicken Prosciutto - my mom recommends the Quinoa Superfood.“

“Everything i've tried here on multiple visits has been wonderful. The menu changes occasionally and has specialty items that have always been a hit for me. Good quality and solid prices and servings & consistent across locations.It's hard to find a good pesto salad with fresh mozzarella & pasta that isn't overly soft. I'm in love!“

“The food at Submarina has always been good and I've always enjoyed eating here. The best part of coming to this store is the staff. They are consistently friendly and efficient. They also have good memories and remember what I last ordered. Keep doing what you're doing guys!“

“Came here for the first time around 1:30 on March 1 Friday. Decided to stop by on my way home from UTC. Easy place to enter from Miramar road. Ordered the Joes Special and Philly with mushrooms. As I entered I was immediately greeted by a nice lady. Super friendly and helpful. Order was made fresh and quickly. She didn't call out my order number when it was ready she actually came out to the table and handed it to me and offered me hot sauce. Overall the food was good and service was great. Will def be back soon. =)“

“I love this place!!I was looking for a place to chill and eat after a long day of work until I stumbled into Ike’s sandwiches located in Sorrento valley!The staff were helpful and kind. I got the Matt Cain with double meat with banana peppers. It was delicious and left me satisfied. This is now my go to place after work.“

“Both my husband and I agree that the bread for the sandwich is one of the best we’ve ever had from a sandwich shop. Crusty, savory and soft in the middle… soooo good! I think any sandwich you get here would be fabulous thanks to their fantastic bread. We split the Matt Cain sandwich and it was very good. I personally loved the Dirty Sauce.“

“Definitely a nice sandwich shop. Similar offerings to Jersey Mike’s type places but definitely fresher and tastier! The turkey and pastrami was very yummy and great portions! The pickles are excellent too. Service was slow, but the people were nice. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! Decent gluten-free offerings too!“

“For some reason, whenever I'd come here, I always got a sandwich with their delicious side salad. I never realized they had bowls and I'm always a sucker for a yummy bowl. I went for the salmon bowl that came with wild rice, sweet potatoes, edamame, kale, and a tasty sauce. I added avocado to it as well. I'm obsessed with this bowl! The staff is always friendly and the space is comfortable. One of my favorite easy, grab and go lunch spots!“

“This was my first time trying out Which Wich sandwiches, and I liked it a lot! Very delicious and affordable.I've tried other subs like subway or jersey Mike's and for me those have to much bread. I love that the bread form this place is very thin, and you get to enjoy the actual ingredients on the sandwich ?Also the guy and the girl attending customers in the morning are very kind and nice, they made us feel welcome and we left very happy ?Thank you! I will definitely come back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Six stars!“

“Today I was attended by Morgan B. And David F, super friendly staff, very knowledgeable and welcoming. First time... we ordered the East Coast Sub. They were both delicious, the subs not the sandwich artist. I like how clean the restaurant is, I enjoyed the music- not too intrusive. Great place to come and get something to eat. Thank you for making this such a great place to visit.“

“This place is awesome. Yelp won't let me remove this review for some reason. My bf told me he ate half my order while I had it on the counter for FIVE MINUTES and did not tell me until I called this poor worker there in front of him. I cannot apologize more. Their food is incredible and they were SO nice about it. I threw half my order away so my bf will be replacing it. THANK YOU MENDOCINO FARMS, you ROCK for how you handled MY ERROR. I AM SO SO SO SORRY!!!!“

“Saul is the best sandwich maker I’ve ever encountered. I don’t know how, cause I order the same thing at tons of other Jersey Mike’s but it’s 10x better when Saul makes my meal. He is not only a good cook, but is positive, kind, and goes above and beyond to show care for the guests. Thank you, Saul!“

“What can I say about the food. You already know. As far as the staff goes, they are incredible. I am currently in very sick care so a very special woman took care of me over the phone. Her name is Teaira. I've seen how hard all the staff works at this location yet she took the extra care in time to speak with me and make sure I got my WEIRD order right because this may be my last days. She didn't just make my day, she made my month (hopefully not life lol). Thank you Jersey Mike's but most importantly thank you Teaira!!!“
