Old town grocery charm with pricey but good sandwiches
Right downtown on Monterey Street Muzio’s Grocery and Deli has been adding its delightful presence to our town. It used to be more of an old fashioned market when I used to go there 25+ years ago but now its focused mainly on the lunch crowd serving up a fantastic variety of deli sandwiches.
The Digs:
Muzio’s Grocery & Deli
870 Monterey St
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
The Scoop:
A great variety of sandwiches to satisfy anyone. People usually come in knowing exactly what number they want as its all listed by number on the boards written above you. The store has an old world charm to it and while it’s not what it was back in the day it’s still a lot of fun to go and hang out and grab a bite to eat. If you are new to San Luis Obispo or just coming back after a long visit it’s almost a must that you have lunch here.
What Rocks:
The hot roast beef with Ortega chiles. My ultimate fav.
What Sucks:
The price. No matter what you order the sandwich is about 10 bucks and add a drink and you are at $12 for lunch for one person. A bit high in my opinion. The food is great but the price is what keeps me from making it a daily stop.
The Moolah:
Sandwiches vary in price but most are around $10.

I agree, the price of the sandwiches is pretty steep. However, it’s the selection that keeps me coming back. I try something different everytime. They had a hot Canadian bacon special the other day and it was delicious! Their sardine sandwich is also one of my fav’s, it’s fantastic! This place will stay in my lunch time rotation.
Love the variety of the sandos at Muzio’s but $10 for an average size sando is not repeat-customer friendly. The sandos are good, but not $10 good. They need to work on their suppliers to get the cost down if they want the downtown lunch crowd to be loyal.
Agreed and thanks so much for all the great comments here.
