Sorrento Deli Mart — Restaurant in San Diego

Saw the strip mall from the train station and went looking for lunch. A friendly employee asked if she could help me. I asked what brand of pastrami they served. She said they get it from a large supplier that delivers. Couldn't chance the unknown pastrami. But, they didn’t serve corn beef, so I couldn’t make the classic deli meat combo anyway.

Ordered a hot sandwich with ham, dry salami, and cheddar on sourdough combo (2 meat + cheese selection, chips & drink total under $9.00). Received a sandwich with warmed bread (not toasted) and cool meat and cheese. The meat portion was on the small side, basically one slice of each, plus a pre-cut slice of cheese. The bread was more white than sourdough, but it was very fresh.

The combo comes with a choice from a large selection chips, and the soda selection is Coke brands.

Overall, it was above the usual convenience store fare. A good variety of choice of sandwiches and non-sandwich selections will provide a decent meal for anyone. The convenience store inventory provides make-your-own meal possibilities, if that...

I've been coming here for a while. From the outside, it does not look like a place that has a damn good sandwich, but once you go in there, there are always a lot of people waiting/enjoying their sandwiches. I am not very adventurous, as I mostly get the ATC (avocado, turkey, cheese) sandwich. When I first started coming here, I would get the combo. This includes a small fountain drink of your choice from their Pepsi machine, and a small bag of chips.

Recently, I have been able to get only the sandwich and still be plenty satisfied. I always call my order in from work, just up one exit on the 5 freeway, and then drive there and it's usually ready when I get there. This is the most ideal way, as I have waited for my sandwiches a couple of times.

If you haven't tried this place out yet, I highly suggest that you do. I am almost certain you will not be...

So I’ve been going here for about 8 months now. I always order the same thing and I have it with no toppings. They never put the bacon on the sand which and no matter how many times I’ve gone up to get it fixed, it still gets forgotten. Today I went in and made sure they put bacon on it, only for them to forget the cheese.

I don’t understand how it is this hard to get a sandwich made with what is advertised that comes on the sand which.

They also do not follow their advertised hours. They close at 2 on the weekends yet advertise being open until 4.

I will not be a customer here anymore or refer them to any of my customers either. I doubt it will hurt their bottom line but I refuse to support this business any further when they can’t even supply the items they are...
