Hi San Diego! New to the area. Tell me your favorite restaurants. From taco shops to fine dining.?

I have lived in San Diego for about 6 months now. I have had the opportunity to go to quite a few restaurants, but many seem to disappoint. And these were suggested by various websites so I'm beginning to think the dining experience in this gorgeous city isn't very spectacular. Anyhow, let me know what you think. I love trying out new places. Also, some great suggestions on ethnic dining would be awesome too.Hi San Diego! New to the area. Tell me your favorite restaurants. From taco shops to fine dining.?
