San Diego sucks in every way shape and form when it comes to food. I have been to Mr. A's in SD, Mille Fluers in Rancho Santa Fe, Rancho Valencia in Fairbanks, Cilantro's in Del Mar (closed). San Diego is the worst food city in California especially as being the second largest via population.
Little Italy sucks, Old Town sucks, Gaslamp Q sucks, 5th Ave sucks, Seaport Village sucks, even Leucadia Pizza in Encinitas sucks.
Idiot in Oceanside with Brazillian bonds got caught, there is not one spot in Oceanslyme that is worth visiting. And La Costa CC has deteriorated over the decades.
