4. Mi Ranchito Mexican Restaurant
4 stars for their Shrimp Burritos!!! Damn, they're the best I've ever had in San Diego so far BUT they don't come cheap. They are $7.50 and they are decently sized. They come with a side of warm tortilla chips and you have free range with their 4…More »

I've been coming to this SubMarina for over a decade! (I have tried at least 3 other locations around SD.) They rarely disappoint in the quality factor. I've only had a couple of instances where the service was a bit questionable. All in all, we…More »

A friendly staff person here helped me look for a specialty salad and was very nice and thorough. They did not have any more pre-arranged Beet salads. Boo, I was really looking forward to a nice Roasted Beets salad with all the yummy fixings.…More »
