What people say, in short

Roxie's on San Jose Avenue in Mission Terrace is a corner-store deli that many diners count among their favorite sandwich spots in the city, drawing a lunchtime line despite its unassuming convenience-store look. One diner praises the Tony Special, another recommends the Simon Special on a dutch crunch roll, and a commenter calls the Meatball Mafia the best meatball sandwich in the city, while one visitor highlights the house-smoked pastrami. A longtime customer loves it but says it is not always an amazing experience, and another commenter finds it good but not worth a special trip unless you are already in the area.
