Grassroots in South Pasadena

I met with video producer Mobolaji Olambiwonnu yesterday for lunch and he suggested Grassroots, 1119 Fair Oaks Ave, South Pasadena CA 91030. He recommended the taco salad so that's what I ordered. It has a lot of choices, bean-type, meat or vege-meat, etc. It was huge and it was delicious. I ate all of it while Mobolaji spoke about his next assignment, in the Congo. Hmmm.... He kept repeating, but it's not the side where there's currently war. I also ordered a beet-parsley juice. Wow, is that powerful stuff or is that powerful stuff.
