About

For fresh-sliced submarine sandwiches in Encinitas, Jersey Mike's Subs on North El Camino Real operates the chain's second location in the community, bringing the 1956-era Point Pleasant, New Jersey, format to the city's eastern commercial corridor. Meats and cheeses slice to order on a commercial deli slicer visible behind the counter, and bread bakes from proprietary dough on-site each morning — a daily-production kitchen model shared by Luna Grill Encinitas on the same El Camino Real strip. The Mike's Way preparation applies a blend of red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, and salt across a bed of lettuce, onions, and tomatoes — a New Jersey Shore dressing protocol that distinguishes the sub from West Coast sandwich styles. Hot offerings include chipotle cheesesteaks and a grilled portabella mushroom sub developed through a partnership with 17 regional mushroom farms, expanding the menu beyond the cold-cut core. Fresh vegetables slice daily alongside the proteins, and a catering program scales the per-order assembly process to group formats — a lunch-service capacity that complements the fresh-squeezed juice and smoothie catering at Nekter Juice Bar in the same corridor. The certified Angus beef top rounds for hot subs are whole-muscle cuts trimmed and roasted in each store's own oven, then sliced to customer specification on a commercial-grade deli slicer capable of sub-millimeter thickness calibration for each sandwich build.
