Are there other/nicer train options? In doing some quick research, it looks like there are but I am not sure how they compare to Amtrak.
The only train between Los Angeles and San Diego is Amtrak. You say your friend lives in north San Diego. Is that north San Diego county or north San Diego city? From north to south, Amtrak stops in Oceanside and Solana Beach before heading into San Diego proper.
