A Rolando taco shop Roger tried despite negative feedback from friends, rating it 4 stars after the meat's saltiness improved on a second visit, recommending the carne or Cali burritos and suggesting the drive-thru over the limited seating inside.

“Def a spot to hit up for their carne or cali burritos”
Went despite negative feedback from friends. The meat was very salty the first time he ate here, but improved a lot on a second try. Better to use the drive-thru since there are only a few seats, and crackheads sometimes hang around outside.

An all-day dim sum spot in Rolando that Roger found run by longtime restaurateur Michael, with banquet-style Cantonese white-tablecloth service and staff who keep the tea pot filled.

A hidden-gem Thai spot in the Rolando/Oak Park area that Roger ordered from for pickup via GrubHub, opting for a vegetarian Kau curry with mock meat, Tom Yum soup and mango sticky rice, all of which hit the mark.

Roger's longtime SDSU-area coffeehouse pick near Rolando, open late and a good spot to chillax.
