@thetravelingballerina
One of my old haunts from growing up, I used to live for their corned beef hash.

Barbusa
@thetravelingballerina
You really can't go wrong here, but also get the gnocchi. I was basically licking my plate.

The Taco Stand
@thetravelingballerina
Keep an eye out, there are a few locations across San Diego County. There's usually a line, but don't let that scare you off. Service is quick and accommodating. Everything is fantastic, but special standouts for me are the Baja Fish Taco and the California Burrito. And don't forget the churros for dessert!

Fish 101 Leucadia
@thetravelingballerina
Fish caught fresh each day? Say less. I can't rave about the quality enough.

Parisien Gourmandises
@thetravelingballerina
You'll walk in for a croissant and walk out with a massive box of goodies because it was too difficult to decide.
