- RRachelSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoThank you so much for accommodating me last night! I had such an amazing time and truly enjoyed the entire dining experience. We had the pleasure of trying the Moroccan Cigars, Lamb Hummus, Sea Bass, and Shrimp Ceviche. Everything was absolutely wonderful! The staff was incredibly sweet and attentive, which made the evening even more memorable. A special thank you to Henry, the manager, for his exceptional hospitality. I always appreciate seeing great leadership reflected in a team, and it was evident throughout our visit. Thank you again for such a lovely experience. I genuinely appreciate the hospitality and look forward to visiting again soon!More infoBacari North Park$$$$• Mediterranean• North Park•4.7

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.
