The Market Place - San Diego, California

I highly recommend checking out the marketplace; it’s a great place to grab lunch. They have a deli section with salads and other dishes, as well as a variety of made-to-order options like burgers, sandwiches, and even breakfast items. The prices are unbeatable, making it a great spot for a quick meal. I lived in the condo building next door, so I would stop by a few times a week for either dinner or lunch. They also offer a full selection of wine, beer, and sodas, as well as chips and other odds and ends you may need. It’s the perfect place to grab a snack or meal while enjoying great value. Overall, I absolutely love this place!

Yes, BLT super sandwich was just ok, but the Benny Special was worth the visit. Plan on going back and trying more of the grilled options.

Used to be my go to sandwich place, but I tired of my orders being incorrect with every stop and my pizza looking like this. I’ve wasted so much money here it’s insane. Not to mention, I live pretty far so driving up here to be constantly dissatisfied isn’t ideal. Manager had promised me a free meal and never honored it either.

Very impressive market place! It’s perfect for seeking a weekday lunch here. They have a lot of cooked foods options and they make amazing sandwiches. I tried a cold Market Place sandwich and got my sourdough bread toasted. The taste is amazing. It’s very big and will make your day very energetic! I recommend this place for sure.

when you walk in and you witness Ashley absolutely running the show (absolute legend), you know it's a deli you want / can trust a sandwich from

would've taken a photo of the whole sandwich but had to dig in immediately, got the market place

best deli around

The food and the service is very good! Only reason I put 3 stars for the atmosphere is because lunch time it gets super packed that some folks walk out because they think they're going to be there for a long time but the folks cooking and making sandwiches are fast and courteous! I usually get my order in, get in line to pay. Usually by the time I'm done paying the sandwich is made or the pizza slices are ready. Perfect place to pick up snacks. Lunch or dinner for a picnic at Balboa Park. One of my favorite places to get food before I go to Winyl Club on Wednesdays.

Great deli and market with tons of options for prepared foods and reasonably priced grocery items for picking up ingredients mid-week.

I most recently enjoyed a crab melt for lunch. Quality bread, ingredients, and great prices make this a great stop. Looking forward to trying more of the menu. Proximity to the park makes up for the lack of seating here - great place if you’re planning to picnic!

What a great market for deli sandwiches, beer & wine.
If you are near Balboa Park, and need a snack of lunch or even a Cigar, this is the place for you.
They have a full deli with a great selection of sandwiches you can order or have custom made.
They have frozen meals to go as well as homemade soups.
Staff is friendly and parking is tight.
A great place to go shopping for your local market fare and for the convenience and selection the prices are fair.
