A Little Italy Mexican restaurant on Pacific Highway that Roger, puzzled by its bad reviews, rated 4 stars after repeated visits, praising huge Cali burritos, super-loaded carne asada fries, and a friendly late-night server.

“Their Cali burritos are super huge and will fill you up before you even get to it half-way.”
Puzzled by the bad reviews this place gets, since Roger has come here many times and never been disappointed. Carne asada fries are also loaded generously. One of the late-hours staff has a good sense of humor and is friendly. Conveniently located on Pacific Highway for anyone in the harbor area.

A Little Italy coffee stop for serious brewed coffee, with nitro cold brew as the dependable move and Geisha pour-over as the special occasion.

The Little Italy location of The Kebab Shop, a small local chain, where Roger has checked in nine times since 2012 and shared photos of lamb doners and a grilled salmon doner.

A Little Italy pizza-and-cocktails hall where Roger found the pizza cooked just right and the whiskey drinks on point, but the salad too salty.
