A French bistro that's a little on the pricey side, but stop by for a basil martini if nothing else. Great moules et frites!

American-style Mexican food. This place is loud and always crowded but you if you need an enchilada and a couple of margaritas and want to walk home, this is the place.

Our favorite taco shop, much better (and cheaper and quieter) than Ponce's, though the decor is just that: taco shop. Great place for a breakfast burrito before you start your busy day. Killer salsa.

You want tequila? They got tequila (over 200). Plus mezcals. From blanco to anejo. Eat first though. We recommend the homemade mole on Tuesdays and Fridays. And the shrimp tacos with pineapple.

My friend, Ann Duren, teaches yoga classes here. I designed her logo for her, so of course you should go see her. She is patient and gentle, for those of us who can't bend the way we used to.

We thought this was worth mentioning, Just in case you brought your epee with you. San Diego's oldest "and best" fencing club. Not everybody surfs, after all.
