I'd suggest doing a search at www.zagat.com It's pretty reliable.

I dont even know if this place still exists, but there was this Peruvian place called Papagallo (sp?) that was amazing. Granted this was 10 years ago, but I'd definitely try to find it if I were in that area again.

I like Sage & Onion a lot. I also like Stonehouse in the San Ysidro Ranch, but that may be partly because I love the Ranch so much. Downey's and Wine Cask are both very well-liked, though I haven't been bowled over by either of them. The Mexican dive, La Super-Rica, is nationally famous.
Please let us know how you like Bacara.

For something completely out of the ordinary, take a drive up San Marcos Pass to the "Cold Springs Tavern". Place first opened in the 1870's.
