La Sala’s Bi-Rite Market (unrelated to Bi-Rite Market in SF) may look like your average convenience store, but Monterey locals know that the best sandwiches in town come from this little market and deli. You go here when you want an enormous sandwich filled with high-quality ingredients—mostly meats, though there are a few vegetarian options. We suggest checking the menu before you go because some of their best sandwiches are only available on certain days. The barbecued tri-tip served on Thursdays and the crispy fried calamari on Fridays (get an extra portion of the tartar sauce for dipping) are well worth the careful planning.
