Who doesn’t love pizza by the slice! You can try different combinations instead of having to commit to just one. The choices are right in front of you when you walk through their door and it smells so wonderful. I counted at least 12 choices in the case.

I went for 2 slices: the supreme (a traditional flavor) and the artichoke (a unique flavor). The crust was perfect – not too thick and it had a sweet taste to it.

I knew that I had to try one of their pasta dishes while I was there. I went with a classic – spaghetti and meatballs. The plate was covered in meatballs. They were fantastic, moist and full of flavor. Their sauce was the perfect complement to the dish.

If you need a pizza fix make sure you check out Pizzeria Luigi. Visit their website: www.pizzerialuigi.com

Enjoy!

San Diego has tons of great Mexican restaurants to choose from but when I was out there visiting some friends, they brought me to Cafe Coyote in Old Town. Old Town is considered the birthplace of California because it is the site of the first permanent Spanish settlement.

Naturally you can’t have Mexican food without enjoying a house made margarita – and not a small one. At Cafe Coyote they make them huge! It tasted wonderful with the homemade tortilla chips and fresh salsa.

We sat outside on the patio so we could enjoy the sunny San Diego weather. We also had built in entertainment as we watched the ladies make homemade tortillas right there on the sidewalk. It was perfect for passer-bys who just wanted a quick snack instead of coming into the restaurant.   The tortillas were so light and yummy that I ended up eating so many I didn’t need to order an entree.

Visiting Old Town is a must for all of it’s rich history and you will definitely work up an appetite walking around so make sure to stop by Cafe Coyote.  Checkout their website at: www.cafecoyoteoldtown.com

Enjoy!
