1. Del Taco
Del taco - you love it or you go to the other chain!
It's close to my corporate apartment in SD - so i'm tickled pink.
Yeah, it's fast food, and i think they did a great job on my meal.
Definitely a sketchy area, and i probably wouldn't go at night,…More »
2. Target
Crowded lot, and pretty crowded, but hello - cart escalator - woot!
Double decker store, some times limited selection on items as well as stock. Clothing had a ton, and grocery area was very well stocked.
3. Trader Joe's
Soooo super crowded i left.
It had the typical fare that makes you love and want and desire trader joes, but the lines were over 50 people across the lines, the aisles were insane.
If i wanted to enter a push fest i would go to the nordstrom sweater…More »
4. Costco
San Diego, CA 92108

Old school costco setup - entrance on the right - if you are a regular costco shopper - you know what i mean.
Food court is outside
Parking lot is shared with IKEA - so choose your arrival time carefully.
5. Harbor Island Park
Adorable little park. Great view of the city. Can take a great walk, enjoy the bay and the view.
Weekdays it is pretty deserted!
Right near the airport - better than the cell phone waiting area!
6. La Fiesta
Fantastic Happy Hour!
Cheap tacos, carne asada fries, skip the ceviche, and the pork tacos, but the shrimp and steak tacos - mmmm!!
Cheap beer, great people watching - heaters even
Friendly staff, salsa is just ok, chips are great!
7. San Diego/Coronado Ferry
Cute and fun way to get over to Coronado Island.
It leaves every hour on the hour, from the main land and every hour on the half hour.
4.25 one way - really, one way?
Round trip 8.50 - so no bundling savings!
Awesome place for bike travelers - big bike…More »
8. Sweet Factory
Typical sweet factory.
I needed a specific type of jelly bean and they went and found them for me! (they were hard and stale and i should have gotten a discount, but i really needed them, so i didn't haggle)
It is a smaller version than normal, but i…More »

10. Horton Plaza-Westfield Ace Parking
Typical overly priced, out door, california mall.
I did not have the mis-fortune of attempting to park here, we walked from a near by apartment.
Lots of options for shopping, but weird ramps and levels to get you lost easily!
Nice option for downtown…More »

Don't sit in the bar area and not at the bar - the staff will ignore you.

Cute outside bar, but also where everyone smokes and tend to blow it in your face. ugh.

33. Karl Strauss Brewery
Small location, but the only location if you want a beer at gate 1 and 2.

Point in case - if you order a nacho - and they say steak or chicken, they just added 2 to 3 dollars to what you thought you…More »

The choice in terminal 2 - if you want to have a beverage near your gate - this is your choice.
