    The best meal you can get at the San Diego Zoo! Admission to the zoo needed. Full service including bar sit down restaurants by dine if the nicest servers ever! Of course, they get to work at the zoo! Food is wonderful! My grandson said the tacos in Yucatán were not anywhere as good as the birria tacos at Albert’s! BUT the most impressive menu item is the DOUBLE STACK Chicken Sandwich! OMG! Huge! Have them cut in half and share it! Great sandwich! BUT, the greatest experience is the Best Garlic Bread Load ever! Amazing starter! Try to get a table on the patio with a beautiful waterfall as the backdrop, although a bit noisy! This t time, we had Kelsey’s our server! She was a real delight!

    insideOUT was such a cool and fun experience! I would love to stay in the “oasis” part of the restaurant next time instead of at a standard table, but regardless the ambience was wonderful and the food was even better! So cute and lively for a fun brunch vibe and service was also amazing.
