Sloppy's Burritos
A Hillcrest burrito spot leaning into sustainability and non-GMO, organic ingredients, made to order (so it takes a bit longer) and wrapped in gold foil; Roger's go-to was the tofu-and-veggie Vegan Delight.

“I've only been here twice and ordered their Vegan Delight each time.”
Food is cooked to order, so it takes longer than Chipotle; the Vegan Delight (tofu, bell peppers, rice, veggies) was Roger's go-to both visits, and the Angry Bird chicken burrito, tried via his partner, was juicy and flavorful. Checking in gets free organic tortilla chips.
