One of the best Chinese dishes I have ever had is their Sweet and Pungent Shrimp, made extra hot. For cheap and killer carne asada burritos try Roberto's. It's a local Mexican fast food chain with locations all over the area. Really low prices and popular with many locals. In Old Town San Diego (only a few blocks in size) there used to be a good Mexican Restaurant. I don't recall the name but it was the one with people making hand made tortillas in the front window. It patrons were usually a mix of tourists and the young local crowd. Good Margaritas too. It's hard to go more than a few blocks in San Diego County without passing some kind of ethnic restaurant where you can get your daily dose of chile if you are adventurous. Most of it is pretty good too! Good Luck and have Fun! Phil wpcody@mindspring.com When the situation is desperate, it is too late to be serious. Be playful. -Edward Abbey
