One of the most underestimated foods is a solid sandwich. Often some aspects of a sandwich may work but the bread is too hard, there's not enough meat, lacks overall flavor, too big etc... To find a sandwich where all the elements work together to compose that ideal combination is rare, especially in our area. I had the Bomber sandwich last week and it was the quintessence of the perfect sandwich. It was deeply flavorful and the bread was so soft. The thing that surprised me most was the texture. The bacon thick and still crispy so the sandwich had a crunch to it that made it especially wonderful. I can't stop thinking about it and can't wait to go back to have it again and try their other things. I couldn't recommend it more.

My new ATF!!. I'm a local and Mal;s has been around seems like the beginning of time... im kicking myself for never trying the enchilladas because they are so very good, gonna go pick up a few orders now ! YUUUMMMM MYYYYYYY!!
Awesome sandwiches! Try the bomber- youmight have to split it with a buddy, it's pretty big. The enchiladas are heaven too!
Neighborhood Deli :)!. Mal's has been a popular neighborhood deli for an extremely long time. Not fancy, but they put out a delicious sandwich. Also, they offer other deli items and dessert. Seaside has a lot of "Neighborhood Corner Markets", a charming characteristic. Some are scarry old and funky, but some are rather nostalgic. Drop by, sometime! :)
At the top of the hill on Noche Buena sits my childhood, with memoried of Garbage pail kids, Now-N-Later sticks and Grape Crush for about a buck. This place was one of the first places I took my son when he first visited, so he could get a taste of where I grew up.
Every time I go home I stop by here, get a sandwich, buy a few things, and am thankful something of Seaside's past survives. The inside is as I remembered and the neighborhood people still shop there. This place is the definition of classic and working class California, and it makes happy to see it. So much of Seaside is going the way of Monterey, and so much has changed. But places like Mal's aren't just a museum, but are a living breathing connection to the past, and still serving people today. Hope this place never leaves, and that I can still get a sandwich the next time I come home to visit.

THEM SANDWICHES ARE MOUTH WATERING,YOU SIMPLY CANT RESIST !!😅😋
Mals is a local legendary sandwich and grocery spot . If your from Seaside you know about "The Bomber" and love them . Owners are long a time local family and have done tons over the years for this community. Definitely recommend to everyone I know. That old school family deli vibe. Got to love it !
If you grew up in Seaside this is the hidden gem for us locals. If I’m having a bad day I’ll go pick me up a bomber with everything on it. On another note they have some great ice cream in the back too. If you’re looking for comfort foods or just need a last minute items they usually have it. My daughter likes to stop there for a big pickle and some pizza usually
it’s a all around vibe for sure
FYI
If you going during a regular lunch time you may hit a line but it’s worth the wait
Great sandwiches! Recommend this place. I had The Bomber, roast beef, ham, turkey, bacon, and Swiss cheese on a ciabatta roll. They have two tables inside and outside for you to dine out. Many dessert and beverage choices. Easy parking.
Love the sandwiches there, but more so, i definitely love my dear friend Dennis and his employees . They are always very friendly to their customers. I try to stop by whenever I'm in Seaside to grab a "Bomber" and say hi.
Epic sandwiches, stuffed full and extremely tasty. Very good value and nice friendly service.
The bomber sandwich is the bomb. Philly cheese steak and breakfast sandwich are so good. You won't find bread snuggling the center portions like these sandwiches. I don't think you can even buy the bread at any of the bakeries. Taco Tuesdays is nice.
Excellent sandwiches. Try the bomber. The owner does so much for the community and local youth. Literally, when you patronize this local, quaint grocery store, you are supporting your community. The breakfast sandwiches are huge and Taco Tuesday is just lovely.
Always a pleasure having lunch at Mal's Market. Sandwiches are delicious and they never disappoint with the garlic spread 😋
