Old Town San Diego is considered the "birthplace" of California and the site of the first permanent Spanish settlement in California. Prior to this, The Kumeyaay lived in this region for 10,000 years.

This area of San Diego holds  centuries of history and is the perfect place to see historic buildings, take a tour, and eat some amazing food. Here are a few of my favorite restaurants. 

A Step into History

Café Coyote 

Voted one of the best Mexican restaurants for over 20 years, this is a great spot anytime of day for Mexican dishes. Walk ins are welcome but reservations are encouraged.

Tortillas are made right at the front of the restaurants for street traffic to see. Stop in for breakfast or an early dinner to beat the rush.
