Food Scene

Great healthy Mexican food with a Costa Rican theme. Enjoy a beer on the patio. Don't come here if you are in a hurry, as they have a small kitchen and can have a long line due to it's popularity. Relax and enjoy a pitcher of beer on the patio while you wait for your food.

Train Station. The Coaster leaves from here and can take you to downtown San Diego and many stops between. Buy your tickets ahead online for an easy ride. The Coaster track goes along the coast so sit on the west side of the train for the best views. Great way to get down to a Padres game or old town. The Sprinter Light Rail can take you East and the Metrolink Train goes North to Orange County.
