Awesome breakfast - Edit
My wife and I ordered Mariel’s through DoorDash for breakfast and were not disappointed. I had the breakfast burrito and cucumber mint agua fresca, she got the Messy Biscuit and cold brew with oat milk. I loved the sausage and potatoes in the burrito and the agua fresca was so refreshing. My wife loved the biscuit and it reminded her of the biscuits her family made when she little. Neither of us were fans of the cold brew, but we haven’t really found a cold brew we like so I don’t hold it against the restaurant. We also got the Reuben for later, but had to try it and it’s one of the best we’ve ever had. 10/10 would recommend.

Small but terrific deli - Edit
Friendly service. Some things, like the deli meats, I expected. And they're delicious. But also black & white cookies! Chicharrones! Wonderful selection of vegan deli choices.

Tried this place because I’ve had a Jimmy John’s itch for some time now, and I can’t stop eating here! The Italian and Californian are solid options but I imagine you can’t go wrong with other items.

5 star Reuben - Edit
I have eaten a lot of Reuben sandwiches and this might be the best. Succulent, with every element working together. The homemade pastrami was a dream. Everyone was really helpful and there is real attention to quality.
Read moreA comfortable patio as well.
I returned another time for Tuscan sandwich (delicious) and the French dip, which I didn't like nearly as much. The jus was like gravy and I wasn't into it.
Pros: Homemade everything!, Great quality, nice space
Cons: didn't love the French dip

Can't Go Wrong - Edit
This place has it all! Breakfast offerings, sandwiches, salads, deli items and desserts. We ate here twice in a three day span and would go back again tomorrow if we weren't going back home. We had the breakfast burritos with Just Egg. Very tasty, had a little spicy kick, but the heat was just right. Our next meal was the Reuben and the Flores. Both were tasty and filling. Definitely recommend this place for those who eat a plant based diet, and for those who don't.

Cute little spot - Edit
Loved going here. My Philly cheese steak sandwich needed more cheese but the potato leek soup was amazing and so was the potato salad! The egg salad was okay. I’ll definitely be coming back here to try other things!

This was my 1st time here and Ashley help me find some yummy gluten free options! So I got the Flores sandwich & tuna melt!! Both delicious!!! I also got the Caesar salad with chickpea croutons !! I love the tuna melt so so much. But if you like bbq pulled pork you have to try the Flores! And a chocolate chip cookie for dessert!! This is a MUST TRY!!

Delicious deli sandwiches - Edit
All vegan deli with cold and warm sandwiches, an assortment of rotating sides, and a case of cold cuts, cheeses, etc.
Read moreThe Flores Mexican rib sandwich was phenomenal! Really well seasoned jackfruit ribs with pickled onions and arugula on ciabatta.
The Italian was pretty good, but the bread was disappointing. It tasted almost stale. I expected high quality bread from a deli.
We also tried the macaroni salad which was pretty good and a delicious hibiscus Agua Fresca. I would come back to try some of the other warm sandwiches.

The Flores Sandwich is life changing - Edit
It’s hard to describe my joy at eating the Flores sandwich. It’s a perfect dance between the tangy barbecue and creamy Mayo and excellent bread. Expertly prepared each time, too. Everything else on the menu is wonderful as well, but the Flores is spectacular. Don’t miss it.

Glorious!!! - Edit
This place is glorious. Best vegan breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. I’m always craving the Californian— they have really figured out vegan bacon. My only complaint is that I wish they were more concerned with waste. There are single use cups at the water station and a lot of the to-go items are packaged in plastic containers.

Great sandwiches and breakfast - Edit
Everything I have gotten here is great. The sandwiches are so good but honestly the French toast and eggs might be my favorite thing! It’s so good. I miss French toast a lot and they do it so well here! Also I love all the dessert and side options!

Cute spot, great food - Edit
We took a Lyft out specifically to eat here. We got sandwiches, a breakfast burrito, and cookies. The Ruben was incredible, the breakfast burrito was delicious. We would have bought a ton of deli stuff to go, but we couldn't refrigerate it.

The Best Vegan Deli - Edit
I stopped by Maciel’s today because I got a craving for a hearty deli sandwich and it certainly delivered. I ordered The California which features vegan Turkey slices, vegan bacon, tomatoes, microgreens, avocado, Mayo, and Dijon mustard on multigrain bread. Wow!! It hit the spot.
Read moreMy boyfriend got The Tuscan which he ate in less than a minute because it was just that good. We also ordered some potato salad which was just okay and a dill pickle on the side which you can’t go wrong with.
On the way out we grabbed some of the ice cream bars they sell which were so delicious. I loved this place so much! I’ll definitely be back to try their breakfast selection.
I wish it wasn’t so far from me! The good thing is they have a small parking lot on site and plenty of street parking in the area. I highly recommend. It’s worth the trip!!
Pros: Incredible food , Good service, Good vibes

Great Sandwich Spot! - Edit
Had the Italian sub with chips and pineapple ginger Agua Fresca. Sandwich was delicious and a decent value at 14$, and service was prompt. The Sandwich had all the proper components - tender deli meats, cheese, tomatoes, letttuce, crispy bread, great mayo and was even wrapped and taped deli style. It was overall a great experience for a decent price, especially for LA, and I will definitely be back!
Read moreAgua Fresca was good and I got some salami to go, which was also tasty and had a good texture.
Edit: went back and had the tuscan..one of the best vegan sandwiches I've had. Will definitely stop by next time I'm in LA.

Great Concept - Edit
I love the idea of a vegan butcher! I ordered the Italian and ate it the next day on a trip to Channel Islands. The sandwich held up well and I got the vinaigrette and Mayo on the side so it wasn’t soggy. I didn’t love all the spices in the meat and ended up taking the meat off for my last few bites. The sandwich was good and the Mayo they serve with it is delicious.
