Some of my faves here in San Diego would be; Sandwich: Scholtzsky's Original Pizza: Filippi's in Mira Mesa Steak: The Butcher Shop's Prime Rib Mexican: Any of the hundreds of places named "Alberto's", "Roberto's", "Alejandro's" or similar, as they all make GREAT carne asada burritos! So my fave place is obviously dependent upon what I'm in the mood for.
