6686 El Cajon Blvd appears to have been at the point where it merges with Montezuma Rd. I suspect all of the above
was dozed. The Google Street View at the bottom of the page, taken in November 2022, is as
close as I could get to a current shot.
Hard to
tell whether this shot, shared by Scott Shaw, is newer or older than
the one at the top. It does advertise "10 Rolled Tacos $1.00" in
the front door.
I lived
at the Dorchester apartments just down the street from the
restaurant. There was a barber shop on the property too -- Sam Calvano ’69
I believe that the Sombrero Taco Stand was previously The College Barber
Shop in the ‘60s, as I used to ride my bike there every other Saturday
and get my haircut from Gilbert -- Dennis Crosthswaite ’72
I'm thinking that Mexican restaurant was the one known as Ramon's back in our day -- Joel Dennstedt ’67
(Close, but no burrito for you -- JF)
