My college dining experience consisted mainly of cafeteria slop languishing in chafing dishes, supplemented with leftovers from my job working at a wrap and smoothie shop. (I’m still a stealth smoothie-making superstar.)

But students at San Diego State University hardly suffer from my barely edible past woes, with spots like Pokedon, Tajima, Woodstock’s, Trujillo’s, Alforon, etc., all within a mile of campus. Come February, they’ll also get Carbonaro’s, opening in the former Lolita’s Mexican Food (5120 College Avenue, Suite 125).
