Discover University Heights
Enjoy casual dining and soak up some San Diego history in this neighborhood that is just a few miles off the coast. The community has embraced its historic character, and walking the streets is like going back in time to the early 1900s. Local restaurants offer a decidedly Mexican coastal flavor with dishes like lobster enchilada, fish tacos, and scallop burrito tacos. Even establishments that specialize in Italian foods will have at least one burrito on the menu. There are more formal restaurants in University Heights, but the smaller, owner-operated eateries really fit in with the atmosphere of this old-fashioned neighborhood.
