This is a family favorite from breakfast. It is just across the street from Balboa Park so a great way to start a sightseeing day.

Super stars! You've completed am amazing 5K hike! Now it's time to fuel your body with some delicious food. Just around the corner is a local staple called Jimmy Carter's. The name might not suggest Mexican food, but I promise you this place is legit. If you're looking to cool your heels after that work out, grab a table and enjoy breakfast or lunch.
