“I ordered a Cali burrito and was more than satisfied with the amount of guacamole and sour cream that was put into it.”
Liked the old-school taco shop feel of the interior and the juicy carne asada. Staff were warm and had a sense of humor, one of them even chatting with Roger for a bit. There's a drive-thru for those on the go.

Midway
Phil's BBQ
Barbecue
Roger gave this Midway BBQ spot a full 5 stars, calling the ribs hands-down the best in San Diego -- meatier than the bone-heavy first impression suggests -- and praised the fast-food-style pager system, self-serve sodas, and attentive staff who kept checking on their outdoor table.
