The fajitas, mahi tacos, carne asada nachos, and Tres Leches Cake and margaritas were delicious. Parking was plenty and free.

- BBrianVIPSan Diego •36 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThe only restaurant in San Diego better than Cesarina is Cesarina at Christmas time. The food and service are as good as you can find anywhere but the already beautiful space is taken to the next level with their stunning and spectacular decorations for the holidays. Cesarina is a MUST any time of the year, but especially so at Christmas.More infoCesarinaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Ocean Beach•4.9
