Just ate there tonight. Pretty good. No crowd. Good food. Plenty of parking (must have been a slow night?) Enjoyed the Fried Rice with Beef. Wish I had more room to try more. Next time!

Had dinner there last night. Good atmosphere, nice food, decent prices. I had Jim's Special (or was it Joe's? someone else?) Anyway, it was a nice mix of shrimp and chicken in a tomato sauce on pasta. I personally would have preferred more flavor, but a little cracked red pepper and parmesan and it was pretty good. I did not walk away hungry!

I first ended up here in 1987 or so. If I had to pick a favorite restaurant in the USA (and I've been to hundreds, many great ones) De Schmire would have to be at the top. I haven't been there in a few years, but the combination of great food, great atmosphere (eating nearly IN the kitchen is awesome), and the staff that has the look and feel of a family (an eclectic one?) covers all the bases for me!

Great mexican food (they call it aztec...) I've been going here for 15+ years. Quality goes up and down a bit, but it is always good, frequently excellent. Always enjoy their nice chuncky salsa and the blended stuff is good, too. Had to give it 5 stars because that's where I met my bride!!!

Best food I've had in San Diego in 2000. The ambience was great. The service first rate. Even with all the good things going on around, the food was the star of the show. I'll be back!

Next door to Trader Joe's, Chipotle Grill is great. For a reasonable price, you get a massive meal, made quickly while you watch. In fact, you walk with your food as a friendly server moves it down the "assembly line" making it as you watch and as you direct several options. You'll have to roll home after a Barbacoa, but it's worth every minute of it. Great food, friendly service, good prices.

Great place for lunch (if you can get in and get a seat). All kinds of burgers and sandwiches and a lively atmosphere. Everything I've ever had there has been excellent. If it weren't for the crowds and the difficulty in finding a table, I'd give them 5 stars...

Saw Karinya driving by one day and stopped in for lunch. Very nice place, very nice waitress, and I thoroughly enjoyed the food.
