: I will be going to San Diego, staying in La Jolla. Can anyone recommend good but : reasonably priced restaurants in the area, either mexican style or seafood? If Whenever we're in San Diego we always make a point of going to ANDRE'S PATIO. It is a Cuban place that has very nice homemade soups. Our favorite dish is the Pierna de Puerco, pork served with a garlicy yucca root and morros y Christinanos (black beans and rice). This is just a small neighborhood place where the people are friendly and the food good. Don't know the address (we just get there somehow). Its on Morena not far from where the 5 and 8 freeways cross. Its about 1 mile north of the 8 and just east of the 5.

Q: Where to eat in La Jolla/San Diego, CA
There is an Afghan place in San Diego, called Khyber Pass. The atmosphere is ethnic but peaceful, and the prices range from about $6 to $12 for entrees. The place is decorated with artifacts Afghanistan's history as well as with portraits of Afghan bazaars etc. There is also a show room adjacent to the restaurant where one can purchase Afghan hand-crafts. The food is richly spiced but milder than Indian cuisine. Rice, curries, kabobs, and vegetables prepared in tomato sauces comprise some of the items on the menu. For dessert, I like the rice custard topped with crushed pistachios. The address is 4647 Convoy; Phone 619 571 3749. The restaurant is located

While definitely not Mexican or particularly seafood, it is one of the better restaurants in the county. [In the spirit of full disclosure, I should mention that my SO does occasional graphics for them and the chef, Scotty Meskan, is a friend. I personally have no financial connection with George's and have been a fan of the place since before I knew Scotty or began seeing my SO] It isn't exactly cheap but, IMHO, good value. There are really three parts to George's, the full up restaurant, the bar, where they serve a limited bar-type menu, and the Terrace, which is more casual. The Terrace has an incredible view of the cove and when it is sunny is a license to print money (I *wish* I had a financial interest!). There are a couple of places along Prospect that I am not personally thrilled with, though your mileage may certainly vary. They are El Crab Catcher (infested with yuppies), Alfonso's (okay Mexican but not worth the usually fairly long wait), and Jose's (also okay Mexican but awfully damned noisy). spl
