Submarina California Subs — Restaurant in Escondido

The reason I am giving this location such a low rating is because I had lunch here several days ago and the new owners have no clue when it comes to health department and changing their gloves. I witnessed while sitting in the restaurant eating my lunch they touched the phone, the register, cash, stamping a frequent buyer card and back to handling food their gloves were never changed. I don't know what else was possibly touched when they were out of sight I don't want to think about it. They were friendly and I got the impression this is the lady's first work experience, good for her!

Hopefully, these people learn to constantly change their gloves after touching things that aren't food and after touching foods because of food allergies and vegetarians.

The food is decent here this location has always skimpy with the avocado by not cutting it according to corporate standards which is length wise instead they slice it sideways to get more slices (some other locations do this too) this makes the slices very small/short when placing on the sandwich.

If I go back in the future and see changes I will update this and give them a...

We are long-time customers and have always appreciated the great service and food quality. Our last visit was about 2 weeks ago and noticed that new people were working and a young woman seemed to be guiding them. Prices and portions seemed normal. Today I put in an online order since family is here and we had a larger order. I didn’t realize the online platform costs more for every item, at least $2 per sandwich. When I picked up the order it was ready early, which was nice, and it seems everything was correct. BUT the amount of ingredients between the bread was HALF of the normal amount. Even my 12-year old granddaughter noticed! Also noticed the price was up about a dollar on the menu there, then $2 added online. I asked about the higher price online and a nice young man explained it was due to the online platform thru door dash. He did mark my punch card and was...

Edit 2: I'm raising my rating up to reflect the service and food, not the prices. My previous edit was harsh, the price increase is obviously not unique to Submarina, it's a reflection on the poor economy. I'm grateful that Submarina didn't sacrifice on quality to maintain lower prices during this time. You can always count on excellent ingredients here, regardless of how poorly the government is running the economy.

Edit: The sandwiches are still fantastic and the staff is awesome, but for some reason the new owner has raised the prices nearly 50% over the last few months. I guess he's trying to pay the place off all at once. $14.30 for a nine inch veggie is ridiculous. See you all at the sprouts deli!

Original: Best subs ever. Haven't been back to Subway since. Try the...
