Tastes of College Area

With SDSU one week away from starting up again, I thought it would be appropriate to make a post about some of the students' favorite spots to eat.

1.) 4.0 Deli
Location: Corner of College and Montezuma
This is an amazing sandwich place. Usually crowded, inside you will find college students inside sharing pitchers of beers and munching on their favorite sandwich. The place is decorated with college apparel and shirts from organizations 4.0 has sponsored. They include two seasonal items-- strawberries and cream, and when strawberries are not in season, rice pudding. Both so delicious. Their strawberries are always fresh and tasty which is a perfect blend with the cream sauce which has a hint of cinnamon. The rice pudding is served with rum raisins is absolutely mouthwatering.

My favorite sandwich here is the Vegetarian Heaven on sourdough with no pesto. I am not a vegetarian and rarely order vegetarian meals but this sandwich has the perfect blend of veggies-- sprouts, avocado, onions, red peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese. Another favorite, if you are more the type of person who wants meat on their sandwich, is the Godfather--turkey, provolone cheese, pesto, and some veggies. They have great cheap drink specials and beer on tap, which makes it a favorite during happy hour for college students.

All in all, if you are in College Area and need a sub this is your place. I have never heard a complaint about anything ordered here, so you cant go wrong.

2.) Trujillo's
Location: Corner of College and Montezuma
Definitely an important part of your SDSU experience. Open until after 2am on weekends, Trujillo's becomes the favorite food of the drunk college kids who roam the streets. But when your drunk is not the only time Trujillo's is good. They have on of the best California burritos I have had and the Carne Asada fries are also delicious. The staff is friendly and the crowd is usually a great show! For $8, you can get a burrito and drink. A definite must if you enjoy Mexican food.

3.) Fattes Pizza
Location: El Cajon Blvd
So here comes another white sauce pizza recommendation. Fattes Pizza has amazing pizza crust, incredible toppings, and of course my favorite, great white sauce. They have great deals, such as two pizzas for the price of one. They deliver and their owner Travis is a chill, young guy that is great to work with if you want pizza for a lot of people for a meeting or student organization.

4.) Milo's
Location: Montezuma Rd
Milo's is also a pizza joint but I go here when I am craving a toasty salami sub. Cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and salami on a toasted sub makes for a great sandwich. They have a great pizza deal for a slice and a drink but I don't usually get the pizza there. This place became a fave of mine because I lived so close by. They are a great place to stop by for lunch and grab a bite. They only have two tables inside but they deliver and do pick up.

5.) Pita Pit
Location: College Ave
Typical college food, but can be a healthier choice. Basically limitless options of combinations of ingredients to make your perfect pita, Pita Pit offers a great break from usually unhealthy and greasy college food.
