Going to SD & Tijuana next week & looking for Road Food (Mexican, seafood, Calififoria style, whatever that is?). Wasn't Cearsar Salad invented in T? Original/descendents still available? All other food/seeing sugggestions appreciated. Thanks - BP (A much educated bad speller -- Sorry!)

Sadly, I've never been there. Wish I had so I could help.

Check out El Indio on Washington, a block south of University. Having grown up there, I personally would confine my Caesar salad dining to the north of the border.

Coming to San Diego, I really think you should follow the Stern's recemendations in their book "Road Food" every place they list is great!
Rex in cold, wet, expensive, San Diego. If you are driving do not have a heart sizure when you see the price of gasoline, we have the highest priced in the nation.

Rex, We have lousey weather....but we can drive around in it for a buck fifty a gallon !!  Bushie's link to the Puerto Nuevo Lobster restaurants is a good one. It is less than an hour from the border (get the insurance) but the food is outstanding !! and a bargain at that.

The good: We ate at the mexican restaurant in the courtyard at "Old San Diego" which is a state historical park. Reasonable and good. Choose a sunny day! Friends just had a buffet at the Del that they can't stop raving about. There's a small café on Coronado on the main street at the east side there that you will read about on the SD Union Tribune's website.
The bad: Chez Loma in Coronado. We never tasted the food. We went in with a reservation for their reduced price early dinner. Every wine we asked about--every entrée we asked about got a response of "we're out of that," so we walked out.
