1201 1st Street San Diego, CA 92118 United States +1 619 435 4900 http://www.baybeachcafe.com/ |

Unique Mexican cuisine |
416 Third Ave San Diego, CA 92101 United States +1 619 702 4455 http://candelas.signonsandiego... |
This Mexi-French restaurant is a great spot for romantic meals. Try the Nopales Salad if you have not been getting enough cactus in your diet lately;fear not, this is a spine-free version. Meanwhile, the Langosta Baeza is the piece de resistance;a large lobster tail stuffed with mushrooms, jalapenos, onions, bacon and tequila. Since the cuisine is rather unusual, the wine list has been carefully selected to support the food, drawing from vineyards in America, France and Spain. Review © 2007, Wcities |
