“Had to pay a visit here after taking a mini tour around UCSD after both accidentally discovering this place about a year ago, and from word of mouth by a friend of mine who also came around last year. As a first timer, I decided to try with one of the basics & not go for anything crazy as I didn't know what to expect. I went for the Chicken Chipotle empanada with a side of chimichurri sauce along with a cup of Yerba Maté Lemonade. Overall, it was a 10/10, and I ended up bringing a box of empanadas on my Amtrak ride back to LA! Next time I come back to SD, I'm trying out the other flavors!“

“The Empanada Spot is one of those low-key places that quietly wins you over. The empanadas come out hot, flaky, and packed with flavor—no shortcuts, just solid comfort food done right. I liked how each filling felt distinct and well-seasoned. It’s casual, no fuss, and exactly the kind of spot you end up craving again a few days later.“

“We loved our stay at the charming Cormorant Hotel! We enjoyed sitting on our deck which overlooked La Jolla Cove, shops and downtown LaJolla. The staff was really helpful and friendly; Megan went above and beyond to make sure our Anniversary stay was memorable with a welcome round of drinks to celebrate! Their Rooftop Restaurant, the Birdnest, was excellent as well, with great food and drinks and a view hard to beat! Note to travelers: as a smaller boutique hotel, there isn’t an elevator, but they do have a lift available, if needed.“
