Avenue Subs in coronado

The smell when you walk in is amazing. It made me hungrier than I already was. The sandwiches I had was very good

Got about 9(18 halves of sandwiches)-All the bags fell right through when picked up. All pickles were wrapped in plastic and leaked through. What a mess! Maybe they will take more care in the future… or just buy small ziplocks!
Most of the napkins, sandwiches and cookies were wet as well. Not saying these sandwiches won’t be good if you’re eating right there but don’t take them to go especially during the lunch rush.

I am a nado local by proxy as my boys live here. Located in Avenue Liquor on the corner of Orange and 9^th, its an energy packed place where locals get the best, most generous portioned sandwiches for a great price. I had the Tuna $ 5 special and it was incredible. Cool and friendly owner… this place has lots of personality!

The subs were really good and inexpensive. Service was quick. There isn’t anything I can complain about. Will go again

My co-​workers and I had heard of this place, but no one had tried it. Going online, we found the menu and thought we’d be pleasantly surprised. We called in our order and anxiously awaited our chicken club, Italian, and BBQ rib sandwiches and sides. Upon arrival, the incredibly rude man behind the counter informed us the sides on the menu were not actually served. The chicken club had NO chicken (just a sandwich of toppings), the «Italian» was a salami and mustard sandwich, and the BBQ rib w/​bacon had no bacon on some microwaved meat product smothered with yellow mustard. None of the toppings in the menu descriptions were on these sandwiches and NOWHERE was there any mention of ‘smothered in mustard’. After two bites, we threw away our «food». Most deceiving and disrespectful place on Coronado.

What the heck, the guy didn’t understand blt and rueben, made my son’s blt but messed up my rueben, I don’t know what I got, not a rueben. Place has gone down hill quick. You’ll get a better sandwich at vons next door. Disgusting.

I was in town and tried this place based on the good Unilocal reviews. I wanted to try the tuna and the meatball so I ordered halves of each. After 25 minutes of waiting, the subs were ready. At this point I was a little annoyed but I understood because this place only has 1 employee doing everything.
My meatball sub had no cheese on it even though I asked for American. Also it BARELY had any marinara sauce on it. I went inside to ask for cheese and more sauce and the lady said she ran out of sauce and that’s why she didn’t put much on my sub. I couldn’t believe it but I had her make me another tuna sub instead.
I unwrapped my tuna sub and it appeared to be mixed with a yellow mustard like substance. I went in to ask her about it and she said it was mayonnaise but I could tell it definitely wasn’t. Her excuse was that she didn’t mix the tuna and someone else did. She offered to remake the tuna but at this point I didn’t wanna wait for her to redo the whole batch of tuna so I got my money back and left very unhappy. I do not recommend this place to anyone… worst subs I’ve ever had.
My wife ordered a veggie deluxe and asked for no mustard and to add jack cheese. She actually enjoyed her sub but it had mustard and no jack cheese on it. Very disappointing!

Avenue subs shares its building with a liqour store. or better yet, it has its own corner inside the store, literally. The menu is simple and the value is fair. Its not very appealing and unless you know where to go to get here, you’ll probably never know it exists. They pack their sandwiches pretty good and quality is alright. They were out of squaw, which was a shame, and I asked for no onions and was still given them. I want to give this place a lower rating but the customer service and the sandwhich was satisfying enough to give it the A-​OK. It definitely needs a pick me up and better marketing. ingredients and overall quality can be better but its still a descent sandwich shop.

Working down the street I’ve heard pretty good reviews about this place so today I decided to try it out. I wish I went next door to Vons instead because my toasted sandwich was cold and the meat didn’t taste like nor have the texture of deli meat– it just tasted fake. I got a large sub thinking I’d give the second half to my husband but now I’ll just have to throw it away. The staff was very friendly but my goodness the sandwich itself was awful.

I work on Orange within walking distance from many places to eat, and honestly Nathan’s Avenue Subs beats out Subway, the Vons deli, and even Which Wich! Yes, you read right; I submit that the sandwiches from this little add-​on to the liquor store are in fact superior to the dedicated sandwich shop across the street! It took me a while to try it, because come on, who buys sandwiches from a liquor store when there’s a Which Wich across the street? But I have been back several times a week since that first day I tried them, and am now a loyal fan. Now, on to the sandwiches:
First off, the Tuna: Nathan uses Albacore instead of the Chunk Light that Subway uses. Superior ingredients make for superior sandwiches. Also, when you compare with Which Wich and Vons, the tuna-​to-​mayo ratio is just better at Avenue Subs.
Next you have the Meatball: At Subway, they used to make us put only 8 for a footlong, and if someone asked for more you had to charge them extra. At Avenue Subs, they literally put 10 per half, for a total of 20 on the whole sandwich! It’s wonderful! You’re actually getting a meatball sub, instead of a marinara sauce sub with the occasional meat thrown in.
Can’t forget the Island BBQ Ribs sub! This sub is a real delight and puts the McRib to shame! (lol) But in all seriousness, if you’ve got a craving for a typical rib sandwich, give Nathan’s Island BBQ Ribs sandwich a shot!
I’ve gone many times and tried many subs, and I can honestly say that I have not once been disappointed with anything I’ve ordered from Nathan’s place. Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed.
Also, don’t forget to ask for the Rock N Roll discount! This will get you a free drink and chips! :)
