Mr Q's is fine Mexican dining! I think I may have had the best enchiladas of my life there. The service is top notch and their margaritas are so good.

The Hatch has amazing fried chicken (and other comfort dishes) and a drool worthy cocktail menu. The names of their drinks are typically bird themed and you really can't go wrong. I love the intimate vibe and food!

Negranti has the best flavors and makes in house sheep's milk and cow's milk offerings. They also have cookie ice cream sandwhiches that are to die for! With 3 locations around North County, you have to check them out.

If a restaurant can make bologna delicious - you have to go. AND - I love their olives, and I loath olives. It's impressive.
