"I visited a new North Park spot dedicated to rolled tacos called El Tianguis Rolled Taquitos, where fresh corn tortillas are made throughout the day in an automated oven on display in the kitchen and the staff cuts the end off each tortilla so it rolls around the filling in a single layer, producing a crisp, light taquito. Owner Oscar Ancira, whose family founded the Delimex line of Mexican frozen food, has put together a straightforward fast-casual menu of four taquito flavors — shredded chicken, shredded beef, potato, and lentil and quinoa — with the potato and lentil and quinoa fillings both vegan. Flavors can be mixed and matched in sets of three, five, eight, or 12, then topped with sour cream, shredded lettuce, and a blend of cotija and chihuahua cheese; salsas range from a mild or spicy red sauce to a green tomatillo-based variety. There’s seating for 36, current hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily (with possible weekend extensions to 11 p.m.), and the shop says it hopes to open more locations around central and south San Diego in the future." - Candice Woo
