Help Sharky Get a Bubba Gump in San Diego!

Aqua Terra Restaurant (at Pala Mesa Golf Resort) -  2001 Old Highway 395, Fallbrook
(760) 731-6805

At first, I was skeptical.  Lunch at a golf course?  We were very pleasantly surprised!!  The Kobe Burger was excellent!  Can't wait to try more of the menu.

Hacienda de Vega -  2608 S. Escondido Boulevard, Escondido
(760) 738-9804

We love this wonderful place!  In a converted adobe house, there is outdoor patio dining which is fantastico!  They have many great traditional and authentic dishes.  Try their original Hacienda or Jimaica Margaritas.  These are very different!  We really enjoyed their take on age-old recipes!

Old Towne Mexican Cafe -  2489 San Diego Avenue, San Diego
(619) 297-4330
7:00am- 2:00am (Daily)

This place used to be called the Old Towne Cafe and Cantina.  I'm drooling just thinking about their homemade tortillas and carnitas!  Expect lines but it's worth the wait!  Plus you can watch the ladies making fresh tortillas in the window.  I can't mention enough how good the carnitas are.  If you go, get the carnitas...
