yea where in SD are you? what do you want?
i dont know about fine dinning stuff. i know Mr. A's is talked about but super expensive and not my style.
i go for the hole in the wall type places.... Hodad's is quite possibly the best burger in all of America... of course i haven't been to all of America so i cant say but i know its by far the best around here.
if you want some good BBQ go to Phills. the one on Sports Arena Blvd. Good mexican food is everywhere and i suggest just rolling the dice and picking some random place in Old Town.
for asian food head north to claimont area or mira mesa.
Filippi's Pizza Grotto has really good pizza and italian food.
thats a start i guess
