Food in San Diego?

 Don't need to go to TJ for good food.  Try just about any place in
 Old Town.  Spent 4 1/2 months there and lived in Old Town.

 1. Olde Town Mexican Cafe
 2. Coyote Cafe
 3. Many others to go.

 Try Miguel's on Coronado Island for Mexican.  I can't miss going there whenever
 I'm in the area.  Marco's for Italian and McP's for pub fare also on Coronado
 are my faves.  In San Diego itself, I like the oriental section  and downtown I
 like Sevilla for Spanish <particularly tapas>.  For killer desserts try Sam's
 Gourmet Cheesecakes.
 Hope this helps--

 AN excellent suggestion...my favorite spot at Old Town is Casa De Pico.
 You might also check out Cotija's not too far from there.  And San Diego
 is the home of Alberto's (yummy carnitas burritos!) that has spawned the
 plethora of xxxxxxxto's around the southwest.
 Tonefully yours...

 I would suggest Casa De Pico in Old Town San Diego.

 If in Tijuana, I suggest you stop at any street vendor that has a throng of
 people standing around eating.  That means it's good!!!  And don't miss the
 churros that are sold on the sidewalks of downtown TJ.

 Also, in San Diego, if you are tired of the mexican fare, check out the Hob
 Nob.  It is terrific!
