You cannot go wrong with the Californian or the Tuscan. Paired with the Caesar salad and I’m satisfied for the whole day!

Pros: Yummy deserts , The best vegan sandwiches in town

Yum!! We never get to have sammies!!

This was delish. We got the chicken pesto and the Californian. Chicken pesto was my fave, along with the queso and chips. The queso is more like that one cheez recipe, with cashews and potatos and carrots— you know that one? Aka delicious as heck. But more like that than queso. So happy to have gone here.

Tasty Food + Novel Concept

I really liked the idea of a plant-based butcher. I wish they had a shop like this near me. I had the “Messy Biscuit” and it was really tasty and well proportioned. The biscuit itself was nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The jalapeños gave it a nice boost of flavor spice, and overall it had a pleasant, not too heavy taste profile. Highly recommend.

Delicious, gourmet deli

Delicious sandwiches and sides, like a high-end deli. The pastrami French dip is mind-blowing and the egg salad sandwich is the best I've had, vegan or otherwise. Love the potato salad and the strawberry lemonade is delicious. Lots of baked treats , too. This place is such a gem.

Pros: Fresh, quality ingredients , Lots of options, Easy parking

WOW!!!

Maciel’s was high on my list of places to try and it did not disappoint. Had the Reuben, it was delicious, wish I could have eaten three or four other sandwiches - I’ll be back for them.
Easy free parking in the lot or on the street.

Pros: Great food, Friendly service, Casual vibe

If it wasn't so far from where I live I'd definitely come back more often

Very impressed

Get The Flores! It’s one of my favorite sandwiches in LA.

As for the deli items, I’ve only gotten the bacon and the queso so far, but they’re both good. I don’t even like vegan meat most of the time, but the bacon has such a great flavor and gets nice and crispy. I used it to make the best BLTA I’ve had in years.

Hot and cold deli sandwiches!

Honestly delightful - my husband had the juicy French Dip and I had the Tuscan. Both were fantastic with lots of flavor! And the ciabatta bread was divine.

This spot also carries tons of top tier vegan cheese and meats.

Pros: Huge variety of options, Clearly labeled menu for allergens

Cons: More sauce!

Biscuit!

This was our first time trying a biscuit and the loaded breakfast biscuit was incredible! Very very impressed. The French dip sub was great to try as we have seen them all over LA but of course they haven’t been vegan. Pastrami was legit AF. Great range of take home options in the way of cheese and meats.

Awesome breakfast

My wife and I ordered Mariel’s through DoorDash for breakfast and were not disappointed. I had the breakfast burrito and cucumber mint agua fresca, she got the Messy Biscuit and cold brew with oat milk. I loved the sausage and potatoes in the burrito and the agua fresca was so refreshing. My wife loved the biscuit and it reminded her of the biscuits her family made when she little. Neither of us were fans of the cold brew, but we haven’t really found a cold brew we like so I don’t hold it against the restaurant. We also got the Reuben for later, but had to try it and it’s one of the best we’ve ever had. 10/10 would recommend.

Pros: Variety of menu, Fresh flavors, Good value

Cons: Breakfast only until 10am

Small but terrific deli

Friendly service. Some things, like the deli meats, I expected. And they're delicious. But also black & white cookies! Chicharrones! Wonderful selection of vegan deli choices.

Addicted!

Tried this place because I’ve had a Jimmy John’s itch for some time now, and I can’t stop eating here! The Italian and Californian are solid options but I imagine you can’t go wrong with other items.

Pros: In-house Deli Meats, Bread, Atmosphere

Cons: Parking

5 star Reuben

I have eaten a lot of Reuben sandwiches and this might be the best. Succulent, with every element working together. The homemade pastrami was a dream. Everyone was really helpful and there is real attention to quality.

A comfortable patio as well.

I returned another time for Tuscan sandwich (delicious) and the French dip, which I didn't like nearly as much. The jus was like gravy and I wasn't into it.

Pros: Homemade everything!, Great quality, nice space

Cons: didn't love the French dip

Can't Go Wrong

This place has it all! Breakfast offerings, sandwiches, salads, deli items and desserts. We ate here twice in a three day span and would go back again tomorrow if we weren't going back home. We had the breakfast burritos with Just Egg. Very tasty, had a little spicy kick, but the heat was just right. Our next meal was the Reuben and the Flores. Both were tasty and filling. Definitely recommend this place for those who eat a plant based diet, and for those who don't.

Pros: Friendly Staff, Tasty Food, Serving Size, Reasonably priced

Cons: Nothing!

Cute little spot

Loved going here. My Philly cheese steak sandwich needed more cheese but the potato leek soup was amazing and so was the potato salad! The egg salad was okay. I’ll definitely be coming back here to try other things!

Pros: All vegan, Great service, Outdoor seats with parking

Cons: No restrooms , Small space

Such amazing authentic deli sandwiches!!

This was my 1st time here and Ashley help me find some yummy gluten free options! So I got the Flores sandwich & tuna melt!! Both delicious!!! I also got the Caesar salad with chickpea croutons !! I love the tuna melt so so much. But if you like bbq pulled pork you have to try the Flores! And a chocolate chip cookie for dessert!! This is a MUST TRY!!

Delicious deli sandwiches

All vegan deli with cold and warm sandwiches, an assortment of rotating sides, and a case of cold cuts, cheeses, etc.

The Flores Mexican rib sandwich was phenomenal! Really well seasoned jackfruit ribs with pickled onions and arugula on ciabatta.

The Italian was pretty good, but the bread was disappointing. It tasted almost stale. I expected high quality bread from a deli.

We also tried the macaroni salad which was pretty good and a delicious hibiscus Agua Fresca. I would come back to try some of the other warm sandwiches.

Pros: All vegan , Large portions

Cons: Sub bread was not good

The Flores Sandwich is life changing

It’s hard to describe my joy at eating the Flores sandwich. It’s a perfect dance between the tangy barbecue and creamy Mayo and excellent bread. Expertly prepared each time, too. Everything else on the menu is wonderful as well, but the Flores is spectacular. Don’t miss it.
