  • Seniors and budget-eaters love the hearty food here. Mashed potatoes and gravy accompany tasty chicken pies.

  • Founded in 1947, Spanish Jai Alai players from the Palacio Frontón (see Frontón Jai Alai) appreciated the Basque culinary specialties here. Still Spanish influenced, the food is delicious and well prepared.

  • The excellent, authentic Mexican cooking includes mole poblano , a traditional sauce that combines chilies and chocolate served with meat dishes.

  • Ancient recipes from the Aztecs and Mayans, as well as imaginative variations of Mexican haute cuisine are presented in elegant surroundings.

  • Old-fashioned, home-style cooking. A quarter buys three oldies at the jukebox.

  • Corvette Diner

    Cruise back to the 1950s in this diner decorated with hub-caps, vintage gas station signs, and a yellow Corvette.

  • Corvette Diner

    James Dean photos, neon, and 1950s road-trip artifacts adorn this diner’s walls; burgers are named Kookie and Eddie; and a shiny Corvette sits as a shrine in this retro Hillcrest hangout. Libations from the full bar help dull the sensory onslaught.

  • Costa Brava

    The aromas of authentic Spanish cooking will fire up your appetite on entering this restaurant. Sit under minimal whitewashed walls at the bar or outside, and savor the best tapas in San Diego. Guitarists, dancers, and satellite feeds of Spanish football entertain on occasion.

  • Southwestern and Mexican-style appetizers and an extensive tequila menu keep this single’s hunting ground jumping.

  • Butter burgers, veggie baskets, and honey-glazed pork chops are popular items at this old-fashioned diner.
