Deli Belly

I’d give them 5 stars except they don’t open on time. I’ve been there twice around 10:10 and the place was locked and dark. Their website says they open at 10. That is not the case.

I always use Deli Belly for my parties. They make an assortment of party trays from a meat and cheese platter to deli rolls to mini bites! Everyone always loves them and the amazing Boar’s Head deli meat they use!
The staff is always very friendly and is very helpful when picking out exactly what to order and how many pieces if you’re unsure.

Friendly service, great sandwiches. Tried the Chipotle Gouda and The Honey Ham, both were great.

This is my GO TO place to eat when visiting East County. Thier wide selection of Boar’s Head meats and ingredients make for one heck of a hearty meal any time of the day.
Top notch service, friendly smiles, paired with upbeat music makes a welcoming element to relax in and enjoy the food. Two thumbs and a pinky way up to the staff and clean venue.
I will definitely continue to visit Belly Deli every time I am in the area.

I Unilocaled Boar’s Head and this place came up. It’s a little out of the way for me, but I was hungry for a good sandwich. I ordered the Frankie and was not disappointed. Delicious. They have several other «signature» sandwiches that all look great, so I’m sure I’ll be back. The service was great, too.

Got onions when I asked to hold them. Sandwiches were okay, but nothing special. Potato salad was really good.

I saw this place on Unilocal and sent my hub over to pick up sandwiches. He came home and said the manager helped decide his order. He ending up with The Belly Hot Jerk on wheat and Chipotle So Gouda on onion roll. Both spicy choices. Along with 2 pickle slices wrapped in little plastic sandwich bags and Boar’s Head branded wrap, and a couple bags of Dirty’s potato chips: salt & vinegar and funky fusion. The manager gave him a menu to go, a punch card, and a delivery card with coupons. We just gobbled it all up OMG no shame haha! A new fav sandwich shop for sure!

The food is decent, but the customer service is marginal and the pricing is a bit high. I can get expensive, decent deli sandwiches in a lot of locations, and will choose to do so where the servers treat me like a valued customer, not as an annoyance. I have been here 4 times hoping for a change, as the establishment is near my house; however, there has not been any change in service — actually, it has been worse.

Came here yesterday & got the belly hot jerk on sliced white bread ! MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE ! I’m just happy that the sandwich came with a pickle ! Service was great !

I drive past this place ALL the time, and today I decided to finally try it. I’m DEFINITELY a fan. The dude on the phone was super helpful since I was a first-​timer, and the chick who rang me up when I came in to pick up was great, too.
My only complaint is that on a veggie sandwich, the veggies could be piled on a little higher. With that being said, the staff was great and the other reviews are so good, so I’m sure they would accommodate next time if I asked for just a little more lettuce and sprouts. Seems like a simple enough request. And despite the veggies being just a little sparse, my sandwich was a w e s o m e.
Love the options for cold bottled drinks and side orders in the cooler. Its going to be a regular lunch stop for me for sure.

The best gourmet deli sandwiches in El Cajon, Ca. Hands down! try them you won’t regret it! They also deliver. Every time I come in from Detroit I gotta have Deli Belly, simply put it never disappoints!

This was the only deli I found open on a Sunday in El Cajon that wasn’t a chain. Their menu is basic and to the point which I appreciate. The have a half dozen signature sandwiches. The guy behind the counter was very personable at helpful. I ended up getting two of the signature sandwiches. The Chipotle So Gouda and Frankie Carbone, both on onion buns.
Both sandwiches were great. My wife and I shared half of each. The chipotle is very evident in the Chipotle So Gouda and the Frankie Carbone is essentially a classic Italian made well. No cons about this place, better than the average but missing the wow factor. I would consider this a repeat and reliable place.

Delicious sandwich and excellent service! Glad we finally decided to try this place, will definitely be back. :)

I really like this place. It’s got a friendly staff that’s willing to shoot the breeze and treat you like a regular.
I love the way they do salad. They are filling and balanced with a lot of flavor. The Greek is one of my favorites.

Good as always!
These sandwiches are made like they’re supposed too!
Tonight I have the FA. Looking forward to it.

The Belly Boy is pretty darn good.
The Mediterranean was no good and actually should be removed from the menu.
Justification for the 4 star rating is from our previous visit at which time our sandwiches were great and the customer service is great always.

Just before going on a hike in the Jamul area, I was looking for a non-​chain sandwich shop en route and Deli Belly was the only one that I could find that was open on Sunday. It’s tucked into a nondescript strip mall and I initially went right past it before making a u-​turn on Jamacha to track it down.
I had the Chipotle So Gouda on a Onion roll. The bread was really good and the sandwich had a decent amount of chicken. I didn’t get the mayo spread and wish there were more avocados to make up for the lack of a spread. Maybe next time, I’ll add a little mustard or oil & vinegar. I’d like to try some of their other sandwich selections should I ever happen to be in this neck of the woods again.

I’m not sure why I haven’t been coming here more often, the sandwiches are amazing! I’ve tried others but the Chipotle chicken so gouda has got to be my new favorite sandwich, if I could eat it a couple times a week without gaining weight then I probably would… yes it is that good, no lie!
The meats (Boarshead brand), cheeses and veggies are very fresh, and I don’t know it they make their own bread and wraps but they taste very fresh and homemade. The Unilocal link to order online for pick up or delivery is awesome, chose your options of food, pay and within ten minutes it will be there waiting for you, really love this feature, it’s a great time saver if you’re in a hurry!

Was greeted by a nice girl as soon as I walked in, but a younger kid that works there needs to be a lot friendlier.
I am Giving the Food 5 stars. Amazing quality and so yummy! They shave the deli meat fresh, the sandwich was stacked and they have a good deal on their combos. I ordered the spicy Chicken chipotle & Gouda sandwich and it was soooo delicious! Packed with meat, cheese and perfect amount of veggies. I also had the soup of the day, «lobster bisque» which was so creamy, and just enough balance in flavor. I’ll be back for sure and I recommend stopping by!

Located in the outskirts of Rancho San Diego as you enter El Cajon in a small strip mall, you can find this newly opened Deli featuring high quality Boar’s Head Meat that will certainly satisfy anyone’s belly, hence the name, Deli Belly.
When I arrived I was greeted by a friendly young man, and my attention went directly to the counter with all the deli meats. (
) I readily noticed they had Jerk Turkey, and so I ordered one of their signature sandwiches, «The Belly Hot Jerk» with the works on an onion roll for $ 7.50. Then, I noticed they had some bow tie pesto salad, and when it comes to pesto, one does not need to bend my arms. (
) I got me some of that too for $ 2.
With my drink, pesto pasta, and a medium drink, my meal came to $ 11. (
) First of all, if you try the Jerk Turkey, you must understand it has a nice kick to it. The heat was good and it was a lingering heat at times. That being said the turkey tasted great and coupled with the crispy bacon, cheese, avocado, and fresh greens, it made for a great tasting sandwich brought along with some great texture as well. (
) The onion roll was also very good and had a nice moist center and slight crusty exterior. Also packed with flavor was the chipotle gourmaise. (
) I recommend it.
The pesto pasta was mild but very good. The pasta was nicely prepared, not al dente, but not over cooked. It was a great side dish. They also carry hummus and tabouli in addition to your regular deli sides, such as potato and macaroni salad.
The food was no doubt a four star event, but when I added up the hospitality of the employees and owner, I was inclined to add another star. Well done and thank you for the great meal.
My belly feels great…
