Is that giant cement Lemon still there in Lemon Grove?

I'm also a big fan of El Indio's. I've been eating there for some 20+ years. Yummy home made chips too.

Also close to that area is Old Town. A quaint little part of the city and The Old Town Mexican Cafe was a great place to eat. Wonderful home made tortillas!

Also along the harbor, The Fish Market is great with wonderful bread.

If you go more inland, DZ Akins along Alvarado Rd. is an excellent deli restaurant with an outstanding bakery. Portions are huge.

If you're in the downtown area and want an excellent dessert, don't pass up Extraordinary Desserts:

The line is usually long but it's worth it.

If you find yourself in the Point Loma area, Point Loma Seafoods is a great "fast food" style fish restaurant. Good prices and nice atmosphere. Eating along the water on a beautiful sunny day is priceless. Parking can be a problem and the establishment seems to always be busy.

and if you've never been to San Diego and tried See's Candy, you're missing out. It's mainly sold on the West Coast, but you'll find a location at most any major mall in San Diego. It's a CA tradition.
