Pastrami chili cheese fries at Langer's DeliCerritos College Talon Marks: Gordita Eateries: Langer’s Delicatessen
Rebecca Aguila, online editor for Cerritos College’s Talon Marks newspaper/website, recently paid a visit to Langer’s Delicatessen:
This isn’t a normal pastrami sandwich that is pre-packaged or shredded thinly; this is a sandwich a person must come in with a mighty appetite for a monstrous delight.
Pastrami sandwiches is something that are not very common in Los Angeles due to the popularity of bacon-wrapped hot dogs and street tacos. These sandwiches provide an experience outside of the typical spots that normal everyday people bring in.
The most popular item on their menu is the original #19 which is hand-cut hot pastrami with a thick layer of coleslaw in a Russian dressing. The Swiss cheese is then added on top of the meat.
It’s such a gorgeous sight to see when the cheese melts and acts like a bubbly blanket over the layers of flavorsome pastrami.

Nestled in there somewhere amongst the dozens and dozens of options is the pastrami fries, a behemoth of a share plate loaded with chili, cheese, and slabs of meat. It’s a decadent start to any group meal or a coma-inducing solo lunchtime decision. Either way, it’s the absolute right move.

Eater: The 38 Essential Los Angeles Restaurants, Summer 2019
Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant is proud to be included once again in the Eater 38 Essential Los Angeles Restaurants awards, this time for Summer 2019. It is a great honor to be included.
Yes, the No. 19 pastrami sandwich is an amazing sandwich, but the pure pastrami on house-based rye is simplicity at its best. There’s a reason why people make pilgrimages to try this place’s pastrami and even corned beef: There is no better version anywhere in town. Pro tip: Try the No. 54, a blend of both the pastrami and corned beef in one sandwich. And don’t skip the rest of the classic Jewish deli menu — it’s all very well executed in one of the best daytime dining rooms in town.

LA TACO: The Rogue 99, Our Essential LA Restaurant Guide
The fine folks at LA Taco have compiled their Rogue 99, a list of their essential Los Angeles Restaurants. We are honored and grateful to be included in this important list:
A very brief but entirely correct response — panic — ensued before Norm Langer assured everyone they planned to stay, sale or no sale. Indeed, if any misguided developer even hinted at the idea of shutting down Langer’s, they’d have to contend with an entire city roaring in its defense, not only because it is one of L.A.’s most cherished institutions, but also because it is home to the greatest pastrami sandwich in the country, full stop.

SpottedByLocals.com: Langer’s Deli – Best Jewish deli food
SpottedByLocals.com has a new article up entitled, “Langer’s Deli – Best Jewish deli food,” featuring your favorite Jewish deli! Here’s an excerpt:
New York Times Magazine once ranked Langers’s corned beef and pastrami as the best in America (quite a compliment coming from a New York-based media organization). Indeed, their specialty is corned beef, Swiss, coleslaw, and Russian dressing on toasted rye. I don’t love corned beef or pastrami but even I indulge in both at Langer’s. My favorite is the beef brisket dip sandwich and my second favorite is the turkey and Swiss on toasted rye.
For those seeking an adventure or just a great Jewish deli lunch, I highly recommend Langer’s Deli.
