san diego eats

[amaelamin_]

Hello everybody :) I'll be going over to San Diego for a few months this year, and I need a bit of help! I have no idea what there is to eat over there [what's good, what's cheap, what's reasonably-priced, are there farmer's markets, where are good places to shop for food, what dishes should I try], and I'll be on a budget, so this is a shout-out

I use to live in SD and have a food blog with restaurant reviews. http://cattycriticfood.wordpress.com

I love Pomegranate but it is not cheap but sooooo worth the splurge!
Convoy St is a great spot for Asian...Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese and most places are inexpensive.
There's a ton of hole-in-the-wall Mexican places like Roberto's (chain), El Cotixan (Balboa Ave/Genesee Ave) for super cheap eats 24hrs.
Hillcrest and North Park have a lot of great eateries like Urban Solace, The Mission (breakfast/brunch)...

Up in Carlsbad, there's a great mom n' pop shop called Pronto's for some great fresh pastas.

Thanks! :)

Depending on when you are in SD, there is a bi-yearly Restaurant Week (spring and fall). Next week is the Spring one. It's a great way to visit the more expensive restaurants without breaking the bank.
