There were more than a few indications that this place was a LEGIT Vietnamese eatery!From the lines out the door (trust me, well worth the short wait)To the smell of fresh baguettes ?(AMAZING!!) Not to mention the numerous bahn mi options (I had the BBQ Pork. It was delicious!)Less we forget there are a multitude of Vietnamese snacks, drinks and desserts.More than just delicious Vietnamese faire their hospitality is just as on point. You can definitely tell that this is a place where the local Vietnamese community comes for comfort food and a feeling of home. I saw an interaction with the cashier and customer where the cashier thanked the customer in Vietnamese and called her Auntie.Nonetheless Cali Baguette Express is a must!
Unbelievably, I ordered a bun bo Hue, but the broth is for bun rieu, also the noodle itself is bun rieu. Not like bun bo Hue at all. Should not order anything besides banh mi.
great tasting inexpensive with a great selection!
Bahn mi sandwiches should be declared world’s best sandwiches. Sugarcane juice was delicious.
Stopped here for dinner and came home with a cat ? No, they don't adopt pets here, I rescued a stray cat from behind the building. We like the sandwiches here because the baguettes are crispy, not chewy like some places. The house special fried rice is really good as well, worth waiting for as they make them fresh to order
Buy Vietnamese submarine bread styles. Rice dishes are services here. Smoothy, soft drinks and VietNamese Coffee styles. Many more for your quick eat in and out
The best Smoothies with Boba and Spring Rolls and the Vietnam sandwiches is the BOMB ?
Mira Mesa has great bahn mi to choose from and this location is our favorite, for three reasons...First, and this has a great impact: the owner is cheerful, friendly, and proud of making good food. Second, the sandwiches are great and remain both large, and filled nicely with fresh produce and proteins. Third, it's clean and fun to eat at.
Really good soups and baguette sandwiches. Also try their pork bun (patay sho)! Great everything!
Longer french baguette for the bahn mi sandwich but missing the crunch. Wish the pork bbq is moist.Pate chaud was light and airy just needing some more of that meat.
