San Diego is chock-full of Mexican food, but mostly "Americanized", which is yummy and fine- no snobbery here. But, if you want to eat like you would in a fine restaurant in Mexico City, this is the place. Also, if you have never had a good sipping Tequila, ask for Clase Azul. (Pricey)

Drinks & Nightlife

Brewery & restaurant. If you like IPA, this place is great. I like the atmosphere. San Diego is a hotbed of breweries, so check out a few: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2013/oct/30/cover-top-ten-san-diego-breweries/#
