"La Mesa — A Sonoran-style Mexican restaurant opened in the former Por Favor space, which closed after 50 years in La Mesa, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune . Hacienda Cazadores offers regional dishes, such as enchiladas Sonorenses with chicken tinga, spiny lobster in a mojo de ajo, and parrillada Sonora for two, which includes generous portions of beef rib, Spanish chorizo, chicken, and grilled cactus. Other dishes include a broad selection of dry-aged steaks as well as fajita-style chicken or adobo-marinated spicy pork. For a bit of showmanship, chefs arrive tableside to grind tomatoes, chiles, and spices in a volcanic stone mortar for fresh salsas molcajetes." - Helen I. Hwang
