Best Sit Down: They're all equally just okay but I like Old Town Cafe best just for the setting.

Casa Guadalajara is very good its on the corner of Taylor & Juan Rd.  

Most of the ones in Old Town are pretty good, though I'd advise skipping Cafe Coyote.

Probably sit down, he mentioned having a hard time finding good reviews for food and bar service.

 

What part of town is he in?

Don't know, he's there on business, so the business end I guess. 

 

Fidels in Solana Beach is a great sit down spot.

 

Rudys is a liquor store with a restaurant in it in Solana Beach too.  They have seating on the patio and make banging El Pastor

Update: He's in PB, wherever that is.

Yeah, send him to Fidel's in Solana Beach. 

Will do.

 

I went to Hooter's down there

Downtown

We had a good time

 

lol he's probably already hit the titty bars, that's why I specified "Mexican Food".

It's all pretty good, brah

theres a killer drive thru off the seaworld exit...

Seriously, after living away for almost a decade now every time I go back I'll eat anywhere, even places I wouldn't set foot in growing up if need b.

Kicks the shit outta most anything east of the rio grande or north of Sacramento.

Mexican food in San Diego ? no knock but i would do fish/seafood . and those titty bars will Rob $$ you silly ask any enlisted Navy guy.

He went to sushi last night at some place called Oto or somesuch.

i Love that taquito place near SDSU - not sure if it is still there ?

 

if he likes Mai Tais go to BALI HAI !! they are Strong and Good !

>>>> ? no knock but i would do fish/seafood .

 

The first link I posted for fish tacos is a truck a stones throw from the border and it has the best Mexican seafood in the country and their hot sauce game is fire.

 

Seriousleeeey.  I'll drive the hour down to the border for that place.

RAD Hoover Thanks ! i'll remember that.

Nice timing here!  I'll be in San Diego for business tomorrow night until next Saturday!  I'm staying in Ocean Beach and plan to hit Winstons to hear Electric Wasteband either Monday or Friday night.

I love San Diego!!!

 

 

When I'm down for work and staying close to downtown, I tend to hit this spot in the Gaslamp district...

Fact is there is mexi food all over SD.  The large majority of it is better than anywhere else north of the border. 

Only been to SD once, for work. Guy I was with said he knew a good place but then took us to this ultra-touristy place - outdoor dining - in Old Town, with strolling mariachi band and all. Food was mexi-american and meh. I assume most of the places being mentioned are mas autentico.
