"The National City food hall recently unveiled a near-complete refresh of its culinary lineup, mixing established restaurants and new ventures that include Carnitas Quiroga and Kiko’s Place, local favorites for carnitas and mariscos, as well a bustling Mexican brunch spot and a stall specializing in Mexicali-style Chinese dishes. Burgers, Thai and Japanese food, and excellent Neapolitan pizza are also part of the reinvigorated market, with a wine garden and more vendors on the way." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo, Eater Staff
