Carlsbad Ranch Market — Restaurant in Carlsbad

Love love love this place.

I have a weekly appointment in that shopping center and that is how I first found the Ranch Market. Now it’s my almost weekly treat to get a roast beef french dip, extra toasted, with chipotle mayo, spicy Gouda, spicy mustard, pickles, and onions with the au jus for dipping. So delicious! One of these days I may branch out and try something new but yeah lol.

They also have super great local produce (the guavas are awesome lately!) and somewhat fancy schmancy foods both to cook and ready to eat that are available. I really like the gentleman who i think is the owner, he’s frequently working the counter and the sandwich ladies are quite nice as well.

I’m told everything they carry comes from within 100 miles of here. Staff is friendly and the prices are a little high, but it definitely isn’t Whole Foods.

That fresh...

I cannot rave enough about this place. Fresh produce, healthy, quick, easy access. I come here during lunches regularly and Vince or Andrew always greet me by first name. They have since started catering. Our company is down the street from them a few blocks. Their food is requested by all of the staff and EVERY company or client lunch meetings. We order about 20-30 sandwiches with all of the fixings and chips. They arrive early to set up and their food never disappoints. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for catering options, or even somewhere to go that has local produce to make dinner for their family. They are...
