A margarita and a combination plate speak to the soul of many a San Diegan. Pair this duo with a sizzling scene and smoking music and you come up with a hot spot like Baja Betty's, which offers dozens of tequilas -- some quite spectacular -- and a long list of cocktails built upon them. The salsa similarly sizzles, and can dress everything from the excellent carnitas quesadilla, filled with shredded pork, to the "flamenco" flautas, filled with a choice of shredded beef or chicken. Large portions, good cooking, friendly servers, low prices, and a party mood make this a find.
