“I believe I had some mahi mahi burrito or something like that. Man, that thing was huge!”
Praised the great, not-overdone ambiance and decor, fast and friendly service, and good music that fit the space. The menu is a fusion of different Latin cuisines; Roger wasn't fully certain of the dish name in retrospect but recalled it being huge, enough that he didn't even touch the sides. Pricing was reasonable, not expensive.
A La Jolla juice spot Roger stopped into on a hot day while cruising around, rating it 4 stars after being amazed at how tasty and smooth the smoothie came out, with no artificial aftertaste.
A La Jolla Mexican restaurant Roger visited only once, back in 2005, rating it 1 star after finding a whole roach in one of his friends' rolled tacos -- staff pulled the tray and refunded the meal, but Roger said he'd never go back.
A Gaslamp Peruvian spot Roger found dead on a Friday night, with reheated-tasting anticuchos and dry potato, off-textured ceviche, an overcooked bistec a lo pobre, a wrong dish sent out, and over $70 spent on a disappointing meal.
A Liberty Public Market empanada stall Roger found underwhelming on a first visit, with one nearly hollow empanada and a spinach-and-cheese filling he called just okay.
