Best Restaurants in City Heights | Eater San Diego

"It’s always a good sign when the parking lot is full. Due to the pandemic, Super Cocina converted part of its lot to a patio, which makes parking trickier, but worth it as ever. The homestyle dishes are deeply seasoned and taste like your grandma made them, if your grandma was an abuela and she was the best cook ever. The menu changes frequently, but recent offerings have included a goat soup in a chestnut brown, umami-rich broth, carnitas (that had a hint of heat), four kinds of enchiladas, two kinds of empanadas (chicken and cheese, drenched in sour cream, shredded lettuce and crumbled cheese), a smoky, subtly spicy, fork-tender adobo pork and a homey beef stew that whispers “autumn,” miraculously, without pumpkin spice."
