==About==
Sick of their old lives in Boise, Idaho, David and his family moved to South Park, Colorado upon the opening of a new [[Whole Foods]] store - these Mexicans were actually staying, and soon opened a restaraunt, [[Nueva Familia]], where David was a busboy. He joined [[South Park Elementary]] as a new kid soon as well, and forged a rivalry with Yelp critic [[Eric Cartman]], who didn't approve of his family's restaurant. He was later accidentally shot during a game of ninja by a very distracted [[Officer Barbrady]], ending his tenure as a police officer.

==Memorable Quotes==
*"Sí, me ride me teeny bicicleta to school." ([[You're Not Yelping]])
*"I'm gonna show this prick how we do things in Boise!" ([[You're Not Yelping]])

==Family==
David is close to both of his parents and works with them as a busboy in their restaurant, [[Nueva Familia]].

No word if he's related to classmate [[Jessica Rodriguez]].

**He and his family finally debut at the end of "[[The City Part of Town]]" in a cameo, referenced by [[Eric Cartman]], that ties right into their proper debut in "[[You're Not Yelping]]".

*A few fans believe that David Rodriguez was heavily inspired by Erik Estrada's character Marco (who was also Latino) from Sealab 2021, a show from Adult Swim that has many similarities to South Park.
