Hip little place in Bankers Hill. Peruvian and Brazilian influenced small plates to go along with a great selection of wines. Check out the award winning Sangria, and save room for the off-menu chocolate bread pudding. It's a show stopper.
A few notes before heading over there.
Very nicely decorated, with a laid back curated music ambience.
It's a small restaurant and patio, so parties are limited to 4 or less. Also, It's under the flight path to SD Int'l airport, so you'll hear a plane every few minutes.

Chef Travis Swikard's new Michelin rated Mediterranean influenced restaurant is literally right down the street from us. He's done a great job capturing the essence of local flavors, and elevating them to distinction without being pretentious.
You'll need reservations, and it's pricey, but well worth it for those who can appreciate high end food. The Alleppo Chicken might be the best chicken dish we've tasted.

A secret passage thru a gift shop will take you down 140 steps to a hidden cave looking out to the La Jolla coastline. It's a short visit - limited to 15 minutes - and there's a price for the experience both on your legs and your wallet. Walking down those 140 steps is easy enough, but the walk back up is a challenge.
