San Diego Eateries
El Indio is a San Diego institution. Family owned and operated since 1940, it's the place to go for Mexican food if you're near the port area or Mission Bay. You order and pick up "fast food" style, but all meals are cooked to order. Dining is in a casual setting. They make their own tortillas, which can be purchased to take home. Reasonable prices, moderately large portion sizes.
A Little More has been around a while. We started eating there in the mid-80's when we lived down the street. Great breakfasts, you need to try their "Everything Omelet". Only OK for lunch.
