San Diego Restaurant Tips by neurochic

Restaurant Name: The Prado

The Prado is a famous fancy restaurant in Balboa Park. But if you are like me and want to see what all the hype is about, but you are traveling alone and don't want to look like a geek alone in a fancy restaurant and to beat the wait and crowds have dinner on the deck. The atmosphere here is not as stuffy but be ready to feel yourself up at a different place later. Maybe this is how Californians eat, but this Midwestern girl needed a little more substanance. The deck serves appetizers and small soups and salads as well as dessert. The hommous that they serve is awesome. Nice place to have a bite, literally I mean bite.

Restaurant Name: Old Town Mexican Cafe

The carnitas here are awesome. And the serving is a lot for one person. I definitely had 2 meals for the price of one. A definite place to stop if you love Mexican food and priced fairly cheaply. Also I recommend eating here instead of in Old Town because the food is a lot cheaper and a lot more authentic.
