I just had one of the best sandwiches of my life. This is a good deli, friendly "mom and pop" staff as well.
I suspect I've found a new favorite.

Can I just say love these guys! They make great sandwiches, I've had well over 30 of them and every time it's great. The fresh roast turkey is superb for sure. Great deli items as well like hummus and potato salad. We bring these to cookout etc all the time and always get compliments! Super friendly people as well, we're so lucky to live so close to these guys!
This place is amazing. The woman who heated my empanada made sure to warn me that it was hot and told me to ask for napkins so I wouldn't burn my hands. I was heartwarmed. The cashier was also sweet. They argued (I think they are related?) and it was adorable. The store has a good selection of beverages (alcoholic and not), and quite a few other things. Your basic corner store. The distance from Dolores Park can't be beat either. :]
I went here on my way to Dolores Park, just to grab a soda and some waters (finally a hot day!).
The guy behind the counter mentioned there was a $7 min on credit card/debit (understandable) so I go back to grab another water, throw a lighter on there.
But apparently it's not enough - as he JUST rang out a guy with a debit card for a $5 purchase?
So- if you've got a limit, make it apply to everyone. I ended up leaving my stuff on the counter and walking out. He actually got a calculator out to see if my purchases added to $7...
I'm NEVER going back in here. That's just ruuude.
Mr. Pickle is better anyway I'm sure.
I am the luckiest person on the freaking planet. Why? This place is literally ONE BLOCK from my humble abode.
For this: I am eternally grateful.
Deli sandwiches. For $5 thereabouts.
And awesome deli-foods, like deviled eggs, potato salad (uh, hi! AMAZING!), mac'n'cheese, VEGGIE lasagna, etc etc.
The falafel here could rival any of the places that devote their "pitch" to the chickpea-spice-wrap.
Everyone I bring here loves it. I'm a total repeat offender. Friendly, quick, cheap, tastyyummywow food. What's not to love?
I brought a friend from out-of-town here on his first dinner in the city. On his final day here, I asked him what he liked the most about San Francisco. His reply: "That deli-thing by your house."
Get the sandwich and walk the block to Dolores Park. Thank me later.

I can be a lazy, lazy man; I've been known to go with the inferior burrito at La Altena so as not to walk an extra block and stand in line at the far superior El Farolito, and I ask Serranos to deliver eight dollars worth of pizza slices a mere two blocks away from their location. However, here is one corner store that I'd be more than happy to walk five blocks to get to, no matter how much THC I've ingested.
Awesome deli sandwiches, rows and rows of stoner-riffic chip aisles, a plethora of bottled waters, vitamin water and other gatorade-like hangover remedies, sodas, beer, etc. They even chop off the ends of the salamis they use in their food and wrap them up for you to buy for just one dollar. The store is clean, the owners are nice and the prices are reasonable. I dare say this is the finest corner store in the Mission.

I love their roasted turkey sandwiches and very friendly service. They also have a nice beer selection.
I hesitate to review this place 'cuz I don't wanna share it with all the people crowding up Dolores Park on a beautiful day. However, I live a block away, so I can come in anytime, rain or shine.
They make such yummy sandwiches and their prices are unbelievably low. They also have a selection of ready-made foods. I've tried their lasagna and it's pretty decent. This is definitely the spot to hit up when I'm feeling too lazy to cook.
If I ever move away from this neighborhood, I'll be one of those people that comes here to get a bite while hangin' out on a sunny day at Dolores Park (you know, the person I'm trying to keep this place a secret from now!).

I'm quite surprised by so many high marks for this place....I try to avoid this corner store.
Went there once and the cashier didn't know the price of the 12-pack of cheap beer I was buying, so proceeded to just guesstimate and charge me $20!
And since then, when I have to go to this store to pick something up, they never have what I'm looking for...
Guerrero Deli certainly hits the marks for a successful corner sandwich shop--good, fresh eats and hardworking, friendly proprietors. Homemade goods, such as pastas, are stocked in their deli case. I hesitate to give them the last star because their veggie sandwich ranks behind others shops I've patronized lately. But the folks behind the counter couldn't be nicer.
Walk further in, and the deli has the looks of your typical convenience store with convenience store prices. Stick to the deli and you won't be disappointed. Best of all, they're open till 10 p.m..

The Mission is not to be outdone on any form of cheap food, and the corner-liquor-store-cum-deli is no exception. Guerrero Market may not have the ecstatically yummy and messy sandwiches of Roxie, but they make up for it with a neat-n-tidy shop and real friendly sandwich-makers. Tri-tip seems like the signature 'wich here, but can't eat that so I went with the fresh-roasted turkey (you know it's special if they charge an extra $1). Wow--these were some thanksgiving-caliber, fresh-off-the-bird slices. Though I think the traditional toppings they use may lend themselves better to Pastrami and the like; I'll have to come back for one of those.
Note the proximity to Dolores Park--this just might be your best bet for a picnic sandwich.

Home cooked food for hipsters
A bit off the hustle bustle path of the Mission and a nice reprieve from the sticky sidewalks of Mission or Valencia streets.
Also down the street is the too cool for shool Tartine Bakery
Like all the other reviews, food here is top notch and reasonably priced
After reading about the tri tip, I was destined to get it, but didn't know what to put on the sandwich. I was pressing them "what do people usually get with it"? They said "whatever u want", gee thanks, that clears it up a whole lot
I don't like mayo (who even likes mayo besides wal-mart shoppers btw?)
Cheese, no thanks, burgers with cheese is about as far as I go there
How about A1? or some type of BBQ sauce? (nope, not allowed)
Ok, just lettuce.tomato,peppercini sp? and oil and vinegar (nope not allowed O&V either, will mask the au jus broth)
Ok, so just the veggies then
The woman working there then name dropped yelp and I pretended to be unaffected
I musta looked like an official, because after I iphoned a few pics, she appeared very nervous, and asked me if I was a reporter. I sooo wanted to mess with her, and after my wishy washy "no" answer, her eyes got even wider. I had to relay her fears by showing her the pic, explaining I was't an inspector and that I do write reviews for yelp and it's because of yelp that I'm here.
Whew, she's all up in ppl's biznass, doyathink?

I can not say enough great things about this place. I love to the people the food and the location. I live in the neighborhood and it is hard to find a decently priced sandwich (Dolores Park Cafe, BiRite, etc...). This is a place you can get a great sandwich without attitude. The place is very clean too. I appreciate that.
I have to recommend the meatball sandwich ($5.99 most expensive thing on the menu)! It is so delicious...and huge. I also got a breakfast burrito from there ($2.99) and it was great too. Nice size and very tasty.
If you're ever in the park and want a snack or a sandwich head right up 19th and it'll be right on the corner of Guerrero. ENJOY!

This is my favorite corner store and now maybe my favorite deli. And it's 100 feet from my apartment. Score!
The Deli - I have tried the Meatball and the Roast Turkey sandwiches, and they both rock. Get the turkey on sourdough with Swiss cheese and all the fixins - you won't be disappointed. I tried one other sandwich here (can't remember which) and it was good, too. Note - this is NOT the fastest deli in the world, as they toast the bread and slice things fresh, etc., etc. so be prepared to wait a few minutes, even if there's no line.
The Store - This is where I buy the fifth of Jack Daniels or Captain Morgan that I sneak into concerts and baseball games to avoid gouging and long stadium concession lines. When I put my party booze on the counter, the guy at the register always rings me up with a sincere smile on his face - it's like I'm buying a painting or a sculpture he made himself, and he just couldn't be more proud. Somehow this always starts me on the right foot for a night of drinking and merriment.

favs:
Pastrami on marbled rye.. MmMMmMMm
Meatball Sandwich...scrumptious
wins award for best turkey sandwich you can get at a corner store in SF.
notice proximity to dolores park.
nom nom nom.
Those of us who work in the Mission are really lucky to have this place! Mary and Eugene have been friendly and accomodating, and the food is fabulous and fresh. The vegetarian and turkey wraps are both excellent, my red-meat-eating friends go on and on about the tri-tip, and the salads have been unconventional, in good ways -- the mac and cheese has a kicky spiciness to it, and the pesto pasta was full of unexpected but welcome vegetables. The fruit salad is also outstanding. Something that New York has over San Francisco is its great corner delis. . .but it looks like we're gaining on 'em fast.

Fresh food and smiling service in a neighborhood deli. Can you ask for more? Sam stocks a great selection of wine and good Scotch to boot! The meatball sandwich tasted like the meatballs had been made that day, and the dutch crunch roll was a fresh as can be. Side of yummy humus to top it off and I call that a very successful, and affordable, bit of heaven.

Great new deli in our neighborhood. I stop by every weekend to pick up a sandwich and salad before I head off to my volunteer gig. They're made well, and the bread and fixings are always fresh. Since I like variety, I've tried several types, and gone through quite a few of the breads and have never been disappointed. On more than one occasion, someone next to meet will tell me how great my lunch looks and smells!
Their dinner selections are also very good. Since it's like a thousand degrees in my apartment today, there's no way I was going to cook anything. I hopped across the street to try their Mediterranean plate, and it was delicious. I'll definitely be back for more.
they have beer. and who doesn't love arizona tea. they have everything every other market does.

My buddy loves this place because he loves supporting his neighborhood and blah blah blah and I was ready to go along with it even though the prices are a bit more than my favorite sandwich shop (M&L Market on 14th St) because they toast the bread here. But theres one thing I cannot overlook: bad tomatoes. I've been here 3 times now, first time I got the tuna sandwich, 2nd time the vegetarian, 3rd time back to tuna. Every time--wack tomatoes. Either its the butt of the tomato with the stem nubbin attached or its a white unripe tomato. I expect bunk tomatoes from Lee's, but from a real deli? No ma'am. But, if you can overlook the bad tomatoes, the sandwiches are pretty good.
Also--and I wasn't gonna mention this, but--after my last tuna sandwich there, I had really bad stomach pains and diarrhea. I'm not saying it was necessarily food poisoning, because maybe I was just sick sick. But I won't go back.
I would like to end on a positive note: the people who work here are very nice and it really is a delightful touch toasting the bread like they do. Namaste.
Wait. Actually, I probably will go back because it is conveniently close to Dolores park and because my dumb friend loves it.

This place rocks!!! All other deli's are so 7 days
Good Prices, clean, friendly staff, and if you want to see something stocked just ask.
Ahhh!!!! The local market just added a deli and the Sam-witches are awesome (about $5 loaded) great stop before headin' to De-Park for some sunshine or some doggie good-times. G-Market has many sides lots of traditional middle eastern fair. If your in the hood this place is on the level ground and most the prices are same as going the safe way.
Mary makes an absolutely killer tri-tip sandwich. Get it on a sourdough roll with cheese, mayo and pepperoncinis. Yum!

Great neighborhood deli with a variety of choices. Food is fresh and made with love...
Man im a person that loooves sandwiches, and I been to so many places, but I have to say they have the BEST Fresh Roasted Turkey that I have ever had in my life. The people working there are Great, Mary and Sam are the greatest people. If I ever need anything just ask Sam The Man. But don't forget about Mary she the Greatest sandwich marker and peoples person. You just have to stop buy and try there Fresh Roasted Turkey, or if not just stop by nd say Hi.
