Here's a couple of Rickshaw Boy ads from the mid '60s. I wonder if you could use the ad below with the ad above and get three meals for $1.99? Doesn't matter. I doubt I had $1.99 in 1967. Or two friends for that matter. Rickshaw Boy sat at the southwest corner of 52nd and El Cajon, but its address was 5125. Strange. Corner lots usually end in 75 or 80 depending on whether they're north or south, assuming they're on the east end of the block. They're still serving Asian food on that corner, but it's now Cali Baguette Express -- a Vietnamese restaurant.
