Two blocks away. Interesting menu, but cannot comment on the taste due to a chef change. Lively on the weekends.

Just two blocks away is a fun place to be with great Mexican food served in the back of the bar. Street tacos are the thing to get. Live music on the weekends. A bit bigger and noisier than Ye Olde Sod across the street.

About a half mile away, but feels like you are in Mexico. Large produce selection of some stuff you may not have seen before. You can watch them make your flour tortillas. The corn tortillas are also sold warm (usually). Worth a visit if you are not planning on a trip to Tijuana.
