Tucker's Market & Deli — Restaurant in Torrance

This small old school sandwich shop and liquor store serves up some absolutely amazing tasty sandwiches at a great value just off Hawthorne on Newton, south of PCH. The really nice lady working there mentioned she had been there over 20 years and the store had been there since the 40's. We tried the hot pastrami sandwich and turkey avocado as well as their house salad. The salad is large and fresh and for like 8 bucks.. steal of deal. The pastrami was excellent.. not greasy but medium.. it has a delicious smokey flavor and great texture. The roll held up perfectly even eating a while later on a take out order. That is the sign of a great quality roll. The turkey avocado comes out on wheat bread with veggies and there is a really good dressing or vinegar deal they put on that takes it to the next level. Honestly I don't know where you can find this great a lunch for 2 these days for under 40 bucks.. going to a chain sandwich place and paying the same or more should be illegal with Tucker's there to serve you something...

Great little neighborhood market, serving deli sandwiches featuring Boar's Head meats. We tried the Turkey Avocado and the cold Roast Beef (sub Swiss for the American cheese). They weren't anything fancy, but the quality was great, and reasonably priced. We came during the lunch hour, and while they didn't appear particularly busy, there were a lot of call in orders being fulfilled, so we had to wait. Not a problem, as there were small tables outside, but if you're in a hurry, call ahead. It doubles as a small market, so plenty of other snacks, ice cream novelties, liquor, and limited convenience...

Went to Tucker's to try the pastrami sandwich.

Good: I liked that you can order, customize your sandwich, and pay on the little screen in front of the deli counter. The bread was good and the pastrami was sliced in a way that the sandwich didn't fall apart while eating it. The place looked clean and the cashier was amicable.

Bad: The sandwich was waaay too greasy/oily (Why???). It also lacked that "something" that sets it apart from what I could make myself at home, for example.

It most definitely isn't in my top five choices for pastrami sandwich in the...
