Trolley StopDeli — Restaurant in La Mesa

I was truly disappointed with my Pastrami and roast beef on rye sandwich. MEATLESS. 2 SUPER thinly sliced roast beef and 2 SUPER thinly slice pastrami. IT was so little meat that I had TO search for it literally to find what little meat that was there. it was my first time eating here I was thrilled to death to fine Pastrami and roast beef and the deli sandwich and I'm Deli guy and probably will be my last visit unless they put some meat on their sandwiches. afterall it $11 for a meatless sandwich I could buy all that the bread the lettuce tomato and everything for less than $11 it was horrible I got a soda and when the guy handed me the sandwich it felt like I was holding the air. I live here in La Mesa and I'm a deli guy but I had avoided the place cuz I had heard negative stuff about it but I decided to give it a chance anyway maybe I should have listened to the reviews and that was a year-and-a-half ago so if you're going to go there make sure you look at your sandwich and you're satisfied with it before you leave there cuz it was horrible. Otherwise stick to DZ Akins where they put enough meat on there to take home with you and it's worth every penny but I was trying to expand my experience...

PASTA SALAD. Seriously. That's the whole review. Lol. My family and I literally tease each other whenever we're near this place that we're going to get some of this glorious pasta salad and not bring any home to share. People fight over if everyone got "equal" portions when we do bring it home. It's just the best I've ever had. And even kids will eat it!! I have a niece who might be the pickiest eater in California and even she munches away happily at this. Their sandwiches are also great don't get me wrong. I'm a creature of habit though and rarely try anything other than the California and since going vegetarian 3 years ago - now I just go in for pasta salad. The staff is always attentive even when they're busy. The prices rock. Seriously. I can get a pound of the pasta salad for WAY less than the grocery store and this is a million times tastier. They have some seating if you want to eat there and the murals of the city are fun to look at. The outdoor seating is lovely on a summer day and is shaded so you don't bake. But seriously please do yourself a favor and try out the pasta salad. It's...

I discovered this deli because there is a uniform store that I go to several times a year. Every single time I go to the uniform store, I grab a sandwich from here. I am fairly particular about my deli sandwiches and this place is excellent. I always get turkey and the meat and cheese is very good quality. There is a large selection of sandwiches to choose from. One of the other things I absolutely love about this deli is that you get a side of pasta salad and it is excellent. So yummy! I look forward to it every time I get a sandwich. This is my last year going to this uniform store; but the deli is just about 12 minutes from my office and I will make a point to get sandwiches from here in the future. They are well worth the 12 minute drive and the prices are very...
