- The car dealerships along the 'strip' in South Davis are visited by the roach coach Fri-Sun around 9ish IIRC. As a former employee of Hanlee's, I've eaten my fair share of roach coach food. My recommendations are: pretty much everything is very edible if not "good", but stay away from the potato products (fries, hash browns) as they're unwaveringly soggy. Pick up the "5-Speed" burrito if you can; it's very popular and a damn good burrito. --["DomenicSantangelo"]	+ The car dealerships along the 'strip' in South Davis are visited by the roach coach Fri-Sun around 9ish IIRC.

They have good lengua tacos and their tortas are pretty good too. They also serve burritos, but I haven't tried them. You can also ask them for rice and beans, which aren't on the "menu" on the side of the truck (they may or may not charge you). Last time I went, tacos were $1, burritos and tortas $4 each. As for the Five Star taco truck that comes by campus, they're subcontracted or something through Sodexho, who I believe has the lock on campus food (dunno what kind of deal the CoHo has worked out, but that's what my understanding is). They're always by the Extension Center near the rec pool, where a lot of the exchange students hang out. --["Users/AliceCheng"]
