Colima's North Park
Roger's 2022 answer for Mexican food in North Park, built around a surf 'n turf he described as bigger than most people's forearms.
“Their surf ‘n turf is most popular and is bigger than most people’s forearms (minus maybe Mike Tyson) and will put you into a food coma.”

“My favorite burrito: San Diego Burrito, man that thing is so delicious.”
Called Colima's hands-down bomb, surpassing expectations versus typical taco shops. Parking is tight in the small lot but street parking or the Albertson's across the street work; there's also a drive-thru. The San Diego Burrito is the favorite order, good any time of day.
