But food in San Diego's downtown is incredibly expensive given the (bad) quality. The whole place is a giant tourist trap, but this is especially true for the "gaslamp district". If you go anyway, don't say I didn't warn you!
And I'm really serious about Saburo's - the place is amazing. For $20 you can get more sushi than you can possibly eat in an evening. Every piece of fish they give you is about 4x larger than you'd find anywhere else.
Agreed on downtown San Diego. But there are tons of other good areas in San Diego. Old Town has great places to eat like Casa de Pico and La Pinata. Hillcrest has lots of culture and I'd recommend the Park House Eatery. Pacific Beach has some great crusty hang outs and bars. La Jolla is beautiful. And you have to go to the big tourist attractions at least once like the San Diego Zoo and Sea World.
