🌍 About San Diego

The California burrito was invented here — carne asada and french fries rolled into one flour tortilla with cheese and sour cream, born in the city's "-berto's" taquerias (Roberto's, Lolita's) in the 1960s–90s. Order one; the fries-inside thing sounds wrong and tastes right. Skip the Gaslamp Quarter's chain bars and head to Barrio Logan, the Chicano neighborhood under the Coronado Bridge where Chicano Park's giant pillar murals are the real sight, painted by the community after a 1970 land protest. Come September–October: warm water, blue skies, smaller crowds, and lower fares. Avoid late May through June — "June Gloom" is real, a grey marine layer that can sit over the coast all morning (and sometimes all day) even as it's sunny inland.
