Punjabi Tandoor
“This is such a dependable place—you can assemble a pretty awesome lunch out of whatever they’ve got in their steam wells. I crave their tikka masala. They’ve got one of the best versions in San Diego.”
Tribute Pizza
“First of all, the shop is located in a former post office. Whenever I go, I almost always end up ordering whatever weekly special they have, and can’t leave without getting their focaccia with nduja.”
Ono’s Café
“My go-to order at this little restaurant in Bonita is the bulgogi beef bowl. It is jam-packed with flavor. And definitely don’t miss out on their fries—they have this insane garlic-furikake seasoning.”
