How has this spot been crushing sandwiches for 25+ YEARS and no one told me sooner?! What’s up, Munchers?! We’re in El Cajon today checking out El Cajon Pass Deli. A family-owned and operated gem that's been holding it down for over 25 years (turning 26 this February!) 🥪💪 They’ve built a loyal following with their stacked sandwiches, fresh pasta salads, and warm hospitality. Here’s what I devoured with prices to match ⬇️ 🔥 El Diablo – $12.75
Chicken breast, bacon, jalapeños, American cheese, lettuce & house spicy mayo on a toasted French roll 😮‍💨 🧄 Garlic Griller – $12.75
Garlicky, cheesy, toasted perfection 🆕 The Juju – $14.50
Brand new to the menu and already a heavy hitter 🌯 Chicken Caesar Wrap – $12.75
Croutons, parmesan, romaine, Caesar dressing, and juicy chicken — wrap of the summer 🌿 Pesto Pasta – $4.50
🌶️ Spicy Pasta – $4.50
🍝 Original Pasta Salad – $4.25 
🥔 Chips (x3) – $2.25 each 🍪 And don’t sleep on the freshly baked cookies. Legit. This place is proof that good food + good people = a legacy that lasts decades 💯 📍 1195 N Cuyamaca St, El Cajon, CA 92020

Was recently told about this sandwich from a friend and thought id stop by and see what the hype was about. This place serves really good sandwich and nice portions. They have a great selection of breads and wide selection of meats. The deli uses top quality meats and for about $12 you get great sandwich. I ordered my favorite which was a hot pastrami on squaw bread. They slice it nice and then and it isnt marveled with a lot of gross fat either. The sandwich is perfect. The owner is super nice. The inside offers 3 tables so limited to 6 people. Outside seating is about two tables so this place is more you order to go or sit in your car which is fine there is ample parking

A very small Deli, buy what it lacks in space; they make up in friendliness. It doesn't matter what sandwich you order; it'll be prepared fresh with lots of different bread choices. Their prices are unbelievably affordable but the taste is Rich! The service was friendly, attentive and super fast! A family owned shop which has been providing awesome services and scrumptious sandwiches for over 29 years. If you can, order ahead and your food will be waiting for you. It gets very busy with the lunch crowd.

Sorry, I was not impressed with the egg salad lettuce wrap. It was about a full head of soft wilted Iceberg lettuce with maybe a few tablespoons of egg salad, a very small amount of bacon, and some cheddar cheese. I feel there was more cheese than egg salad. After throwing away the lettuce and eating just the little bit of egg salad it was good. Wish it had had more bacon. Might be a good sandwich on bread, but it was not worth the money for a lettuce wrap. Wouldn't buy another lettuce wrap sandwich.

Update: I appreciate the owner's reply to my review. I wasn't giving his business an overall bad review, just the egg salad wrap. It was the huge amount of soft-wilted iceberg lettuce that was the major turn-off for me. Had it been fresh crisp lettuce I probably wouldn't have written a review at all. As I said above, the egg salad was good and would probably make a better sandwich than lettuce wrap. Perhaps, the scoop of egg salad on top of a nice fresh bed of lettuce would also have been a better alternative. I would try another item from El Cajon Pass Deli, it just wouldn't be an iceberg lettuce wrap. Since I didn't come into their deli, I couldn't rate the service or atmosphere. It could very...

I'm a truck driver that was delivering a load to a place around the corner from this deli. The guy I checked in with at the place I was delivering to suggested El Cajon Pass Deli to grab lunch while I waited for them to unload my truck. I got the New York Special Sandwich and I can honestly say it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I ordered it online and walked over to get it and when I got there the service I got from just picking up a sandwiche was phenomenal. The guy behind the counter was super cool and polite. I'll definitely be coming back because I deliver around the corner often. If you haven't tried this place you absolutely need to because you're...
