Best Of SanDiegoVille | Our 22 Favorite Sandwiches In San Diego

September 29, 2018

There's a certain art to constructing sandwiches that seems to elude many makers in San Diego, resulting in a mostly-misinformed customer base that may not fully understand the potential a sandwich can have. I know that this sounds like East Coast snobbery, but it's all about that meat & filling-to-bread ratio, and many spots seem to lack on the meat. I have been recommended many sandwich-centric spots around town and, more often than not, best I can say is, "it's pretty good...for San Diego." With that said, there are at least two dozen San Diego sandwiches that I've come to know and truly love. Check out our map of the 22 favorite spots to grab a sandwich around America's Finest City.
