Topping the list is Papayas Juice Bar. Located at 4244 Bonita Road (between Villas Drive and Otay Lakes Road), it's the highest-rated budget-friendly sandwich spot in Chula Vista, boasting four stars out of 133 reviews on Yelp. 

Yelper Latasha H. wrote, "They offer an array of salad, fresh fruits, sandwiches and, smoothies, amongst other tasty menu items. Everything is reasonably priced."

Yelper Katz F. wrote, "This place is amazing. I could give 10 stars for the excellent service, the fresh juices made to order, great prices, good variety and its acai bowls are the best. Also great prices and good portions. The tortas are amazing, fruit salads are humongous."

2. Hungry Hank's Deli

Next up is Northwest's Hungry Hank's Deli, at 866 Third Ave. (between K and L streets). With 4.5 stars out of 309 reviews on Yelp, the deli, which offers sandwiches and more, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for a cheap option. 

The site can tell you a thing or two more about Hungry Hank's Deli and its long history in the neighborhood.

"Mr. and Mrs. So immigrated from South Korea with the dream of opening up a restaurant," the business says in the history section of its Yelp profile. "This dream became a reality when Hungry Hank's Deli opened its doors for the first time in 1981. Fast forward, and you can find the current owner, Miae Aguilar, Mrs. So's youngest child, along with her own children behind the counter serving sandwiches the exact same way [as] when Hungry Hank's first opened."

3. Juice Adventure
