Hoping that this is an easy one: We are having a family get together in downtown SD (my fiancee’s parents will be meeting mine). Both moms love Mexican food.
Looking for a nice middle ground of not too casual but not high end. Food can be on modern side as long as it is solid. Festive atmosphere a plus.
Two recommendations I got so far are Puesto and King & Queen Cantina. Am skeptical about the latter given that they have Japanese fusion there too…
