I’m giving 5 stars because of Tuna sandwiche. It’s one of the best tuna I have eaten so far in the area. It’s fresh and tastes really good. Lots of hot and cold sandwich options. It also has lots of salad options. Staff is pretty helpful and quick service. There is not much parking space, but it is enough to have 4 to 5 cars parked.

Having them sandwiches premade and just sitting on shelf like that is something else. I don’t know about that but I like to buy the Patisserie Hazelnut Cookies At the time I went, it wasn’t so busy. They have parking on the north and south side of the building, as well as on the street, east of the building. You’re also able to dine in too. Customer service is good, very organized, not too compact.

Established in 1947, but I have enjoyed the outstanding food at this place for “only” 43 years.

I had Santa Fe Importers for lunch two days in a row. The first day I tried the Italian sausage, peppers, and onions sandwich and it was delicious. The second day I tried the BBQ beef sandwich and it was delicious. They are 2 for 2 baby! Try them out, it’s simply delicious!

Absolutely delicious food. Love supporting local family businesses. These guys have been around since 1947 and you can tell why. I love their meatballs, outstanding. If you are in Long Beach, stop by here, you won’t be disappointed.

Really good bread like other reviews pointed out. I got the 10″ Roast Beef and it had really good flavor. I also got a small Pasta Salad & small Fruit Cup. The Pasta Salad is excellent too & will try the fruit salad with the other half of my sandwich later. As others have pointed out it is on the pricey side for what you get portion wise, but the flavor is definitely there in a good way.

Great food with great prices. The best sandwiches around. I always order lettuce wraps due to food allergies, and the staff is always very helpful in making that happen.

Fantastic sandwiches, pictured is the large Special. Their Italian sausage hot sandwiches are great too. And I highly recommend getting a side of mushrooms and/or calamata olives.

Is the food was absolutely delicious it looks like a grocery store but then you see all the people waiting in line and everything is and they’re not stingy with their meat sound like subway that might give you a spoonful of tuna on a 12-in sandwich this place it was almost too much for me or tuna I don’t know about thief and all that but I had tuna and it was delicious
