Tony's Market & Deli - Delray Beach, Florida

What a great find, a couple of blocks north of Swinton, on W Atlantic, across from the police station. An old school counter service high quality food emporium, reminiscent of a Woolworth 5 and dime, with an impeccably clean modern twist. Nelson, the chef owner, is extremely likable and he will do well, as he fits a niche that is rare for downtown Delray….quality food at down to earth prices. It was tough to choose between the many great sounding luncheon items, it boiled down to either the Jerk chicken special or the Cuban, I went with the Cuban and it was excellent. Perfectly seasoned and brined pork, combined with ham, cheese, pickles and mustard, done panini style. They will begin dinner service April 1st and my guess is it will be a highly sought after seating spot at that cool counter. All the best Nelson

Tony’s Market and deli is one of those places you might drive by without realizing the magic happening inside. But once you step in, you’ll understand why it’s a local favorite.

Restaurateur Nelson C and his talented chef Jose work culinary wonders, serving up everything from hearty breakfast burritos to fluffy challah French toast topped with blueberries and perfectly cooked eggs. Their pancakes? Absolutely unforgettable. For lunch try the falafel, the brisket sandwich which Nelson brines himself with his very own secret recipe. Unsure what to eat? trust me, they will dazzle and surprise you with something special.

The food isn’t just superb—it’s soul-satisfying, the kind of meals that linger in your memory long after the last bite. You will clearly be full and satiated when you leave wanting more.

For the full experience, grab a seat at the bar, where you can chat with locals and even catch a moment with Nelson himself. He is fondly known as the sunshine boy because he always smiles. In the background he plays amazing tunes. Tony’s Market and deli isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a community.

If it’s not already on your must-visit list, it should be. This hidden gem is a culinary treasure you’ll keep coming back to.

The freshest of food (fresh snapper, shrimp and veggies) for a super fair price! Y’all the food is great! We need this in east delray - run here.

You can also grab a fresh OJ or a tall boy and not pay restaurant prices.

Super legit.

I am so glad I stopped in! I was craving a Cubano and got the best one I’ve ever had. The bread was crispy, the meat was tender & full of flavor. Fries were seasoned perfectly. The owner and staff were friendly and the deli was spotless clean. I can’t wait to go again to work my way thru the menu. Don’t miss this spot for eat in or take out. It’s perfect!!!!

The food is cooked to order. The freshness of the food ingredients and specials are to die for. The open concept kitchen shows the cleanliness and care the hive for the kitchen. I will be coming back to this place the next time I’m in delray. Thanks to Chef Johnny for explaining the ingredients in the specials since my daughter has food allergies.

Fiesta time visit. Staff was very friendly. Had the cuban sandwich, fries and mango smoothie. Cuban was freshly made in front of us, hot and flavorful; fries were seasoned with herbs de provence and the mango smoothie was perfect and not too sweet. All were excellent. We will definitely be back to try more menu items.
