Mabel's Gone Fishing
Excellent Italian food.
Trattoria Cori Pastificio
Over-the-top breakfast spot that's worth the (inevitable) wait.
Morning Glory
The most authentic. Very few options. Operating since 1933.
Las Cuatro Milpas
Take the train from downtown to Solana Beach. Go to Roberto’s Taco Shop. Get rolled tacos. Go eat them on Solana Beach.
Roberto's Taco Shop
An order at the counter place. It’s a chain in CA and NV, but very good.
Tacos El Gordo
Very cool speakeasy.
Noble Experiment
This is one of my favorite meals in San Diego. I dream about the carrots.
Callie
