Guidebook for San Diego
Food Scene
I have eaten at well over 200 sushi restaurants in my time all over the world. This is by far the best I've ever had. For sushi fans, ask for Omakase where the chefs decide what you eat.

FRESH FISH tacos! The proof is in the display case where you can buy sashimi grade raw fish. That's how fresh their fish is. Amazing food, kid friendly during the day and a great place to grab lunch.

Hidden gem. Authentic Thai food in a place where you wouldn't expect it. Try the chicken avocado curry. Super cheap but the quality is outstanding. Advice from me, an avid cook who is half asian.

Drinks & Nightlife
There are many tapas restaurants in San Diego proper but most are "fusion" restaurants or tourist traps. This is 100% authentic and great for groups. Order paella, the octopus and the jamon iberico!

Great bar where you can actually have a conversation over some great small plates and quality drinks. Subtle sophistication that lacks pretension. What a bar should be!

A great drive over the Coronado Bridge will take you to the famous Hotel Del Coronado. Romantic at sunset (bring a blanket). Great spot to enjoy a beverage (behind the hotel) in the bar patio area.
