Ike's Love & Sandwiches - La Jolla

I love the La Jolla location of Ike’s. There is a ton of free parking in the underground structure so my car stays cool while I eat.

I ordered the Hollywould’s SF Cheesesteak without cheese and I added bacon. I liked the texture of the crunch bread which was mostly soft except for the top which was crumbly like a concha.

Bread had a nice mild flavor with a hint of sweetness. Lettuce and tomato added some moisture and fresh flavors. Bacon was dry and crunchy with a salty smoky flavor. Steak was tender and I liked the beefy flavor. This was a big sandwich and made for a good size lunch.

Bubble Up which I drank alot when I was a kid but rarely see now was a pleasant surprise. I loved the sweet lemon lime flavor. They have a very good drink selection here.

Zapps potato chips were crunchy and had a nice fried potato flavor. A bit like Utz potato chips.

2nd visit I tried the Matt Cain sandwich.

I modified it so it had turkey, roast beef, bacon, lettuce, and tomato on the Dutch Crunch Bread. Bread had a fresh aroma and flavor. One of my fav breads. Lettuce and tomato were fresh and crisp. Bacon had a bit of crunch and a delicious salty and smoky flavor. Roast beef and turkey were tender and tasty. Great tasting sandwich.

Zapps bbq potato chips were crunchy and I loved the tangy and smoky flavor.

Staff was nice and got my order out quick. Ike’s makes great tasting sandwiches and has an awesome drink selection. I noticed that you can purchase extra meat. I’ll give that a try next time.
