Tiny new hot sandwich spot on 18th and Castro just east of the Bank of America. The pastrami on dutch crunch is expensive for a sandwich, but what isn't in SF? It's worth it though, at least once.
Don't be surprised to be greeted by Johnnie himself at the order counter. He'll likely invite you to sit in the inconspicuous but spacious back patio.

Solid local mediterranean/Greek food chain. On a budget? Get a side salad, and side of chicken or lamb for the same amount of food at a fraction of the cost of a normal salad bowl. Throw in a Greek yogurt or juicy potatoes with the extra money.
