"While snowbirding in southern US, a relative who is in the restaurant business in Houston recommended Elijah’s to me as a San Diego area must go. So I went. The ambiance and decor is spot on deli at its best. The grand entrance under the big sign made me smile. Lots of well deserved ‘chutzpah’ here. The commercial home made chicken noodle soup was fabulous. Lots of everything in it including flavour. My friend had an o Leyte and liked it very much I had the 1/2 sandwich-soup combo. My corned beef sandwich was good with a reasonable but not excessive amount of meat in it. The meat tasted good, like home-made corned beef should. Bur it certainly is not up to the standards being set by the likes of Chompie’s in Phoenix, Ken and Ziggy’s in Houston, or Merrick’s in Long Island or even, panzer’s in TORONTO, ON. That said, it was still in my top 10 for corned beef. My bottom line here It is very good but there are better in nearby LOS ANGELES, CA which would be in positions 5-9 on my top 10 deli list. Do come here for good deli at reasonable prices, with easy parking on the shopping center lot"
