El Fandango
Address: 2734 Calhoun Street, San Diego, CA 92110
Located in the heart of Old Town, El Fandango is a tribute to San Diego’s culinary history. Its name alludes to elaborate parties that were in vogue during California’s Gold Rush era when the influence of French, English, and Eastern American cuisines mingled with local American and Mexican fare. El Fandango’s menu reflects this melding of traditions, and offers both regional and “Cosmopolitan” selections. Dishes like the Tacos de Pescada share a menu with other favorites like the Stuffed Lamb Chops, resulting in a wonderfully diverse selection of authentic dishes. A meal at El Fandango proves to be a welcomed trip back in time for many hungry visitors.
