World Curry represents the finest in curries from all over the world. They have fine curry dishes from India (of course), Japan, and the Caribbean. From what I understand, Brits will be able to find a decent curry at this place — they have Keema and Vindaloo curries. You can also get a lovely Thai salad, and since you can substitute tofu in most of the dishes, they cater to the vegetarian palate as well.
My favorites are the Thai Panang curry, the good Thai chicken salad, and the curry puffs — a dollop of one of the curry dishes and some cream cheese, wrapped up in a delicious pastry dough and deep fried.
We usually go here for lunch or for takeout when we need it. The dishes are yummy, everything is fresh and well-made, and it’s a great value.

Rancho’s Cocina (known simply as Rancho’s) is one of the better Mexican restaurants in San Diego. It’s very unassuming, but their food is excellent and inexpensive.
Traditional Mexican fare (tacos, burritos, etc.) can be found on the menu, sometimes with a twist, along with some more obscure dishes, as well as some of their own creation. Their grilled fish tacos are among the better found in San Diego, and their fried calamari appetizer is amazing — fresh and tender, not a trace of the chewiness one might find at a lesser establishment.
They also have a good deal of breakfast items on the menu, as well as smoothies (liquados) made from fresh fruit.
Over half of their menu consists of vegetarian items, some with just vegetables, others with tofu or other meat substitutes. Every ingredient they use is fresh; we once had to walk through the back area to get to a bathroom at the original location on Point Loma Ave. (which also contains their grocery store), and the owner proudly pointed out that the only thing that came from a can was tomato paste — everything else was in fresh bundles from their suppliers.
They’re usually busy, so every now and then it can take a little time for the food to arrive, but it’s always worth the wait. The only thing cheaper are the “*berto’s” restaurants one finds interspersed around San Diego, but it’s worth the extra buck or two for real, quality Mexican food.
