AllonDecember 22, 2024I absolutely love visiting San Diego, largely because of its incredible food scene. The seafood tacos in SD are particularly 🔥AND surprisingly affordable. Take El Pueblo in Carmel Valley, for example: it boasts a fantastic vibe, an incredibly well-stocked bar, and delicious fish tacos for $1.25! A special shoutout to our host Bobby, who was the epitome of hospitality and provided outstanding service. 100% I will be back. .
