5/5: The pork belly sando is legit. the skins is just right; crispy but not tough. Just enough grease. 3/5: I was not a fan of the empanadas. Not enough beef, and it has a heavy sweet/sour flavor profile. Grab a sando here and head over to the Plough and Stars Irish bar; they are BYO. As a bonus, the 44 muni bus has a stop right outside the door. read more

Great cozy spot! Sandwich de lomo is excellent! Tamales are perfect. I prefer my empanadas in a different dough, but that's me personally. Stop by and try this spot! read more

Best baked beef empanada I've ever had!! The crust is honestly my favorite part. It's slightly sweet, savory, and the texture is like a flaky shortbread. Most places make theirs either too plain or greasy. Whenever I have a craving for empanadas, I think of this place! Beef is tender and the ratio to crust is perfect! Came on a Saturday this time and it came with free coffee. Hope more people discover them! read more

Delicious empanadas! I tried both the chicken and the beef. They taste like they have a little powdered sugar on them.

Delicious! I stopped by Gery's this afternoon while driving through the neighborhood. I was craving a sandwich, saw that these were Peruvian sandwiches and had to stop. I unfortunately stopped by right before they closed and they were pretty much sold out of everything. BUT The owner super sweet, offered me the chicken sandwich and the last veggie empanada. I was going to come back another time but I decided to take her up on it. It did not disappoint. The veggie empanada, so good! Very flavorful and probably the BEST puff pastry I've had in SF. The pastry is sweet, soft, and dense and just the right amount to balance the grilled veggies inside. I usually don't get veggie empanadas I go for chicken or beef but I loved these. I'll be back to try all of them. The chicken sandwich is the perfect size, tasty and on a freshly baked roll, it also has these little string crispy potato like things (?) that added crunch to the sandwich which I loved. It's a cold sandwich and great for a warm day. I also tried the chicha morada and loved it! Sweet but not too sweet and not over powering with the cinnamon. It's one of my all time favorite drinks. I will definitely be back try more. I should have come earlier in the day, however I'm glad I didn't leave and tried some of the items on the menu. It's a cute, quant, deli that fits just a few. But loved the vibe, owner and the staff, so kind and friendly. It's only been open for 6 weeks, you have to try this place out! Also did I mention great prices?! :) read more

A delicious bakery/Peruvian food cafe just opened in the Inner Richmond. It's on a not very high traffic 6th Ave between California and Clement. If you are like me and need to visualize by other restaurants or landmarks, it's located across the street from Mandalay and where Not Latte /Ha Tea used to be. It's more of a store front with maybe a small table with 2 chairs outside. The baker/owner is a very lovely and gracious woman. We visited for the first time yesterday and enjoyed some delicious anise bread. We also enjoyed the braised pork sandwich. Slightly dry pork but with the accompanying hot sauce, it was delicious! Also the decaf latte was yummy. She mentioned that on weekends, she will start offering Peruvian food, not just Sandos, so we can't wait to come back to try some new things. read more

This is one of those places that you wait to try and then wonder why you denied yourself for so long. The beef empanada is spectacular and the chicken version equally sublime. The filing is amazing but the crust is just as tasty. I slept on Gery's and I am sorry. Don't make the same mistake! read more

Excelente sándwich ,love the pastries , good coffee , good attention , pan con lomo the best

Walking into this cafe I fell, I fell in love with the Peruvian decor. Aside from this, the food was great -- I had a steak sandwich and chocolate cake, which were both great. The bread for the sandwiches was freshly out the oven. The service was overall good. read more

Best tamales I've had in a long time! A very cute and tiny neighborhood gem with delicious options and friendly service. Geraldine was so kind and personable and offered to warm up my tamale. I just wolfed down that tamale now--it was packed with flavor and blew me away! Can't wait to eat the chicken one too...I'm so lucky to live nearby this place and I will definitely be back! read more

Gery’s Deli Cafe - Such a yummy pork tamale! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Super yummy, had the chicharon sandwhich! The staff is so generous and friendly! Highly recommend to try it!

Had a lovely experience here at this tiny Peruvian sandwich shop. There's very very little seating, just FYI! Pan con chicharron was delicious, not too heavy and the pork was perfectly cooked, not oily. The bread on the sandwich really stood out to me...incredibly fresh, light, and crispy. The house made hot sauce was very spicy and delicious as well. Service was lovely!! Quick, friendly, thoughtful (Gery asked if I wanted onions on my sandwich since I hadn't clarified when ordering). Definitely plan to come back and try other sandwiches, tamales, and the desserts including the alfajores and passion fruit cheesecake. Wishing Gery's much success here for many, many years to come! read more

Randomly sighted Gery's while walking by. The veggie empanada was so good! The dough was flaky and light and tasty. The filling + salsa + lime were a perfect combo of flavors. And I was pleased that the salsa had a little kick to it. The owner was very kind too. An enthusiastic 5 stars! read more

They are never open and never answer the phone. Such a shame, because we enjoyed their food.. whenever we were able to order it. Edit to add: The owner/ someone from the business messaged me, yelling (using caps), telling me to check their schedule lol Ma'am my review is based over SEVERAL months of doors always being closed, even though the hours listed on the front door of the business said otherwise. That was poorly handled, Geraldine. Kindly, do NOT message me again. read more

Had empanadas and another delicious chicken sandwich here, delicious and service with a warm hearty smile

A friend recommended me to this wonderful place which is down the street where I live. The little place is cutely decorated with the Peruvian style with love. I tried their Best baked chicken empanada. It is the best that I have tasted. Both of the ladies I spoke with were very nice and highly recommend going back. I ate it so fast forgot to take a picture. read more

I had just missed my bus and so I had 15 minutes to wait until the next bus and I was super hungry. I just looked up spots that were super close to me and found this café. I walked over and the closed sign was on the front door, even though I still had about six minutes until they officially closed. The woman inside, came out and opened the door for me and allowed me to come in to make a quick purchase, that was really nice of her. They only had chicken empanadas left so I bought one. The empanada was one of the best I've tried in the city. Thought it was better than all the popular ones in the ferry building. It was so flaky and the filling inside was so flavorful. It was like a salsa picante chicken that was inside and it was just really good. It also tasted pretty authentic. I would definitely go back here. I'm so glad I randomly came across this place and also it just opened like four months ago so it's super new. I don't think a lot of people know about it, it's a very tiny shop. You can't really sit inside. You kind of just go inside to get something and leave. Will definitely be coming back here. Highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Hole in the wall spot with super friendly owner. I just get their chicharron sandwich (haven't tried anything else!) and it is PHENOMENAL - just perfectly balanced with pork, red onions, yams (!!), and spices on homemade (!!) bun. Plus they have passion fruit and chicha morada drinks. It is all seemingly very authentically Peruvian. Great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Great place. I had some chicken empanadas. I loved those. Chicken sandwich was great too. The lady working there is really nice & helpful. Definitely will be going back read more

This is the second time I order a TooGoodToGo at this place. Both times they have been closed. Have the courtesy to cancel your submission to TGTG so you can save your customers time and fuel. I got there 10 minutes earlier than the specified pick-up time (2:20 pm). Little good that did. Get your act together! Will not recommend this place. read more

Gery’s Deli Cafe - Open til 3 pm? BS. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Had the chicken empanada and my goodness it was delicious! Will come back and try more items. The empanada took 25 minutes to heat up so if you order that, don't be in a rush. Wanted a tamale too but they were out. Next time. read more

Braised pork sandwich is SO GOOD & exactly what I've been chasing after -- we were delighted with the sweet potato included. It looks small, but is a hefty portion. That spicy sauce is no joke either, for those of you chasing the spiciest hot sauces! Chorizo sandwich was kind of a letdown though -- just sausage on bread with mayo and mustard. It would have been nice to have some sauce like a chimichurri or such, otherwise it's a bit plain. Gery was out of a couple items & even closed on a day (Tuesday) they were supposed to be open, so it's best to call first. read more

Tried to go 3 times and it's always closed even when their schedule says they are open.

We had the Lomo sandwiches, which were very small, especially for $12. Flavor was okay, but cannot match the Lomo sandwiches from Fresca, which cost only a few dollars more. There wasn't much meat in the sandwiches, but there were lots of cooked onions. Sandwiches this small should only cost $7-8. They keep raising their prices in the last few weeks. They need to lower their prices or make the sandwiches larger. The Alfajores cookies were very good, with the buttery cookies and thick dulce de leche filling. I would come back for the cookies, but skip the sandwiches. We were very excited to try a new Peruvian cafe/bakery, but were very disappointed with the pricing and the size/taste of the sandwiches. We wish them good luck for their future and hope they listen to their customers. read more

I went in for the lomo but was told they were out of chicken and beef. I was offered the veggie empanada. I've had their veggie empanadas before and they are not usually pre bagged. So, in the past, I could tell that they were flaky and crispy. This visit, the veggie empanadas seemed under baked. I bought two at more than $7 a piece but couldn't finish the two of them because the dough was too soft and unpleasant. The price has been a little inflated but I didn't mind because of the hand-made Peruvian delights from this cozy little shop. This time, the quality for the price was truly disappointing. And that makes me sad! read more

MEJOR QUE EL CHINITO (LIMA)! I went with two friends from Peru (both are excellent cooks too!) and their teenage daughters (all Peruvian) yesterday and everyone loved everything we had... PAN CON CHICHARRON * EMPANADAS de CARNE y POLLO * CHICHA MORADA * TAMAL DE POLLO * all were deliciousssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss and the espresso also great --- large hot thick crema on top (extra star for espresso in a glass!) --- please GO and SUPPORT this local awesome business and Gery and her son! read more

2nd time eating at Gery's and I have to say it currently stands as my favorite Deli in the city. Everything tastes so fresh, from the bread to the meats and the flavors are unlike anything I have tried at other Delis. Service is always fantastic, the ladies are so kind and helpful. You can tell they really love what they do. I will be coming in regularly to try everything on the menu. So far I've tried the pork and the sausage sandwiches and I can highly recommend both. read more

Amazing Peruvian find, classic Peruvian sandwiches and pastries! Just like home! Will definitely be back!

My summer camp went here to try some real authentic peruvian food, ans we were not disappointed. The service was quick even though we ordered a lot of food and the owner was very kind and patient with our kids. The actual food was definitely the best part. We got empanadas, tamales, chicken sandwiches, cupcakes, and drinks. They were all delicious. My only complaint is that the space was small, but the owner said more outdoor tables would be installed. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Just had the veggie empanada. It was delicious!!!! The service was great too. Definitely check them out!! read more
