MochaRita's Deli — Restaurant in Jacksonville

WOW what a find! Hidden just off of Phillips Highway in an unassuming strip of stores you will find a beautiful little eatery that will make your taste buds dance for joy. It's in such an odd place in Jacksonville. However, this is totally my new lunch spot when at work; I will become a regular here. I found this off a suggestion from Yelp. I can't believe I didn't know about this place before. If you're a sandwich and sub connoisseur you will absolutely adore this place.

The decor is lovely, everything is clean (even the bathrooms!), the food is fresh, the prices are very reasonable, and the service is great. They serve all Boar's Head meats which automatically catches my attention. For my first sandwich I went for the Regular MochaRit's Combo; ohhhh buddy. This was a mountain of meat! It consist of seasoned filet roast beef, tavern ham, ovengold turkey, melted provolone, mayo, lettuce, tomato and mustard (which I removed both). I added chipotle sauce, banana peppers, and black olives on 7 grain bread. Pair this with sweet tea and you will make all your senses very happy.

Seriously this was so much food that I haven't even ate dinner yet because I'm still full from eating this and I had it around 1pm (8 hours ago). All of their sandwich prices around 8-9 bucks. Mine cost me $9.95 for a full sandwich and was $6.25 for half. With my sweet tea I paid like 11 bucks total I think. Had I known it was so much food I would opted for the half portion, but seriously no complaints here. I will go through a food coma for this place. You can opt for a half sandwich and soup or salad as well. So many things to try here it will take me awhile, but I'm ready for...

I was told when I first started going here that all of the food is made fresh in house, which is the only reason I'm giving them 3 stars instead of two. The food does taste fresh. I'm a big fan of their chicken noodle soup; I've yet to find anything that matches the quality anywhere else. It has always taken, in my opinion, far too long to get the food ready. 30+ minutes for a sandwich? I call ahead to place a to-go order and am still left waiting for several minutes, albeit with profuse apologies from the gentleman who works the front. I work nearby so only half my lunch break is spent actually getting my food. If I worked farther away, dining here wouldn't be an option. I'm fine paying double the amount for a lot less food than what I could get at the Subway across the street in order to support a small business, but save this spot for a leisurely day off. I would love to pick up breakfast or dinner here but the hours are unrealistic for anyone with a...

I love the deli because the food is wonderful. I gave it 2 ⭐️‘s because I’ve visited this deli 4 times. The 1st. visit it took 30 mins for a sandwiches and I was the only one in the deli. I’m currently a District Manager ( you serve the customer in front of you first). 2nd visit they didn’t have one of my ingredients so it had to be substituted for something else. 3rd visit I was told it was gonna take 26 mins for 2 sandwiches one of which was cold as I pulled up the owner sat outside for 20 mins. I ended up waiting 32 mins for my food. Last visit is what did it for me I thought that because I order sandwiches that’s why took it so long for my order but this time I ordered a salad with no meat I waited 36 minutes for my salad, only for it to be missing bell peppers which I paid for ........And yes I was at the deli the entire time. Today was the last time I’ve tried with them four times I...
