“The flavoring of the jerk chicken was quite nice. It had a nice tangy kick to it, though it could have been a little bit warmer.”

Grant Hill, San DiegoWorth trying
Roger tried this Grant Hill hole-in-the-wall after driving by for a while; despite slow service, he found the jerk chicken flavorful with a nice tangy kick and the portions generous, and said he'd come back to give it another shot.
The documented visit included jerk chicken. This record does not turn that order into a recommendation.

“The flavoring of the jerk chicken was quite nice. It had a nice tangy kick to it, though it could have been a little bit warmer.”
Roger stopped into this Grant Hill hole-in-the-wall after passing by many times; service was slow and unwelcoming, but the jerk chicken's portions and tangy flavor impressed him enough that he planned a return visit.
A Grant Hill hole-in-the-wall serving Salvadoran plates portioned for two to three people, with pork-and-cheese pupusas as Roger's favorite and fried plantains as a must-add.
A La Jolla Latin fusion restaurant Roger rated 4 stars for its polished-but-not-overdone decor, fast, friendly service, good music, and reasonable prices, remembering a huge mahi mahi burrito-style dish that filled him up before he got halfway through it.
Roger rated this 4 stars during a 2015 visit to this Cane Garden Bay beach bar, calling the food decent grub and singling out the coffee as a must-have.
