    Inside
    Thomas R.

    I was working in the area and needed something new to try for lunch. In the week I was here I tried a few Latin spots and today I just wanted something simple for lunch. First I want to add that the directions led me to believe it was on the corner of Cesar Chavez but it's actually tucked into mission and is kinda easy to miss. Parking isn't the best in the area so I walked to save the stress of looking for parking. The inside is as old school deli as it gets. Sandwiches, ice cream, a drink variety, chips and even instant noodles can be bought here. Talk about convenience, amirite? I ordered a turkey on a French roll with lettuce, jalapeños and condiments and a bbq beef for my coworker. Most sandwiches come with the works if you don't say anything so I went minimal on the bbq beef. I have to say that my turkey sandwich was fresh and the bread really stood out and impressed me. Price wise I'd say it's fair for the city, not the cheapest but definitely not an overpriced sandwich. There were a few people in line before and after me, I'd say I spent 10 minutes at the most in the store before leaving with my items. So pretty good for 11:30am but I'm not sure if they get crazy closer to noontime rush hour. The workers were very nice and efficient. If you're working in the area or whatever, this is a really good one stop shop to check out.

    Yesssss!!!! My husband and I love this place so much OMG!!!!! Best sandwiches ever. And the price is good for what u get. It's clean, it's cute, and the staff is very kind and welcoming. Just go try it and u will always come back after the first time.

    Chef Salad - lots of greens and toppings. DELICIOUS and so worth it.

    My first time ordering for my office lunch through Grub Hub from Sweet Chinito, and wanted to eat a healthier-type of dish so I opted for a Chef Salad and a combination of Fresh Orange and Fresh Carrot Juice. I was researching salads in the area for the better price and quality based on what was already seen on Yelp and Grub Hub, and was curious about what Sweet Chinito had to offer. I'm glad I went with Sweet Chinito! My Chef salad was fresh and HUGE for under $11. Lots and lots of greens and toppings of cheese cuts and deli meats. Salad dressing you probably could ask for more, but for the container to they give you I feel that it's the right amount. All depends how much you like your salad covered in dressing? Highly also recommend the Fresh Orange and Carrot juice, it was the perfect coffee swap for the afternoon! Fresh, delicate sweetness from combined oranges and carrots. I feel like it kinda made my skin glow after too, haha... maybe the deliciousness just got to my head too? Curious now to try more at Sweet Chinitos. Great quality and good price match!

    Sweet Chinito offers a wide variety of menu options from savory foods to sweet treats and some especially delicious drinks! They have a great menu as well as kind and attentive employees. On my first visit I ordered the freshest french roll with ham, provolone cheese, and tons of veggies. The french roll was extremely soft and fluffy as well as having that perfect crunch to it, while the ham, cheese, and vegetables were extremely crisp and flavorful. For food, I also ventured over to an extra plush poppyseed muffin that had the perfect tender to moist taste! I of course had to try out one of their Freezes, which is a fresh fruit type of smoothie. I got peach and cantaloupe and the two flavors combined so well with the freshness of the juice it was mouthwatering! My boyfriend ordered the hot link sandwich with the french roll and some veggies as well. He said it was so good and filling he couldn't even eat his double chocolate muffin he ordered! For his drink he also went with a freeze, but instead chose Cantaloupe and Pineapple for his flavor. He said it tasted so good he wanted to order one to go! Overall for everything we ordered and the quality of our order the price was amazing and truly it was a great experience. The inside was nicely decorated as well as very clean. They were upholding COVID standards and everything was great. Highly recommend.

Ordered the coconut braised pig ear banh mi since I never seen that on any menu before. Enjoyed the flavors. Ordered the combo with the $3 Vietnamese coffee.

Their bread is made fresh every…read moremorning as opposed to other banh mi shops in SF and East Bay which pick up their bread from a distributor. They don't make their bread by the hour but they make a huge batch for the day each morning. They use quality flour and the prices are a little higher but the bread is fresh and crispy. This type of banh mi reminds me of the $1.00 banh mi that my family used to eat back in the early 90s. The baguette is much longer and the bread tastes the same... nowadays the banh mi shops have adapted a thinner baguette and the bread is not the same recipe as back in the 90s, it's either too airy or too hard and sharp. So this banh mi here held some nostalgia within me as we were eating it. The bread tastes exactly like childhood. Firm not too airy and crispy (ghon as we would say it). We ordered different types of banh mi and enjoyed all of them. There was even a sardine banh mi which is something I'd see growing up or eating at home only. Not a lot of banh mi shops offer sardine version. I had the fish cake banh mi, sardine banh mi and chicken banh mi while my husband had the cold cut banh mi. We both thought it was good for SF standards. The street is very busy and there is no parking. My husband waited around the block as I went in to order and wait for the banh mi to come out. It's not really much of a long wait. And this area is pretty out of the way for most. We just happened to be around here to see what this shop had to offer. This is a hole in a wall kind of place. So don't expect any sort of ambiance. Get your banh mi and go. Most families buy their banh mi for kids as snacks in the afternoon after schools done, or at least that's how I remember my parents doing it for us !
