Off the beaten path of the famed "Mission District" this taqueria offers more of a neighborhood feel and a much higher quality of food. The prawns are just that, prawns, not bay shrimp and the steak is lean and the veggies are fresh. With outside seating and a newly expanded inside, El Matate makes it to the top of my list of places to eat!

His deli counter has been making my sandwiches for over 10 years now. Always big- always with a smile! 213 Sutter Street San Francisco, CA 94108 (415) 398-7889 View Map Darby Dan's This place is worth taking public transportation or a taxi or even renting a car to get to.. it is possibly the BEST sandwich in the Bay Area!! Located on Airport Blvd in South San Francisco, Darby Dan's has daily sandwich specials plus a full hot grill menu & a few beers on tap. I HIGHLY recommend the "Crab salad sandwich" which is a only available on Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays. The sandwiches are HUGE, they come on freshly baked Dutch Crunch rolls and don't forget to get the "jalapeno spread"!!!! 733 Airport Blvd South San Francisco, CA 94080 (650) 876-0122 View Map David's Delicatessen & Restaurant "A Good Jewish Deli is about respite conviviality, and chopped liver."

Try the hot sauce.. it's GREAT! I recommend getting your sub and walking over to Golden Gate Park for a little impromptu picnic.. it's only about 2 blocks away. 503 Irving St San Francisco, CA 94122 (415) 681-5652 View Map Roxie Food Center "You enter what looks like an ordinary, even unpromising, corner store that specializes in liquor, cigarettes, and a fridge full of soft drinks. But hidden behind a tall counter is a man — sometimes two — who keeps busy all day turning out big tasty sandwiches, made to order...We recommend the Roxie special: ham, salami, mortadella, American and Swiss cheeses, and the genius touch of marinated artichoke hearts." sfweekly.com 1901 San Jose Ave (between Havelock St & Santa Ynez Ave) San Francisco, CA 94112 View Map Go from San Francisco Taquerias & Deli's to San Francisco Restaurants
