3 Best Day Trips from San Diego | Condé Nast Traveler

"This family-run eatery prides itself on homestyle Mexican cuisine. You won't find bone marrow sopes or octopus ceviche here— the menu veers more classic, with crowd favorites made with super fresh ingredients (you can tell from the gratis chips and salsa they dole out). That means street-style tacos with grass-fed carne asada, quesadillas with organic chicken, and a homemade flan made with local chocolate. The Molcajete Mixto is a fun shared plate—your choice of meat with Oaxacan cheese, rice, and beans served in the classic stone mortar alongside corn tortillas.  When you're in California, you never need a reason to eat Mexican food —even when it's in a folksy old mining town. But Quecho is ideal whether you want to replenish after a long hike or grab an antojito before hitting the road." - Archana Ram
