We went into this small eatery on 509 5th Ave (Gaslamp) in search of some crepes, and it turned out to be excellent all round. I found the Mozarella sampler on the appetizer menu particularly impressive. The paninis and crepes we tried were also very good. They also have a large selection of Gelato which we unfortunately were not able to get around to.

Champagne French Bakery
Had been planning to go to this Carmel Vally place for quite a while, and got to visit a few days ago. The desserts are simply great. Smaller servings than Extraordinary, but equally tasty. Need to try their brunch one of the coming Sundays.
People seem to love this place on yelp. Menu on website. They have locations throughout SoCal.

Bangkok Spices Thai
A very tasty and affordable Thai place on El Cajon Blvd. Beats the Hillcrest/MiraMesa/SolanaBeach places on price, and is no slouch on quality either. The vegetarian appetizer (Satay) was delicious, and the two chicken curries we got were good too.
People on yelp like it. Menu and timing etc on their web site.

Annapurna @ Mira Mesa
Annapurna is a new Andhra themed restaurant behind the Cam. Ruiz Target store.
Web site and Yelp review.
We tried the weekend buffet ($13). The food was good, in particular the crispy dosas (served hot at the table), the yummy sambhar and the chicken biryani. The dessert was a great surprise, a very halloween-orange rava kesari.
Contrary to the review reports, the service was quite satisfactory. The next step for us is to try some entrees from the menu for dinner.
Update: Visited for dinner, and ordered off the menu. The non-vegetarian food was delicious, and the servings were big. The food holds up pretty well in the fridge too ;)

El Fandango, Old Town
One of the Mexican places in Old Town. Food quality was so-so, place wasn't too expensive (<$10 per head). Wouldn't go there again.
Apollonia Greek Bistro, UTC
Okay Greek place in UTC. Had a fish dish, which was so-so. Price range $10-$20 per head. Could go there again thanks to the proximity.
Melting Pot, La Jolla
Fondue place near the Hyatt. Part of a nationwide chain. Very expensive (>$50 per head) for a place where you're supposed to cook your own food. Except for the dessert fondue, the food was so-so. Service was extremely slow. Ambiance was average. Wouldn't go there again.
