El Callejon Restaurant (Permanently Closed)
345 S. Coast Highway 101, Encinitas, CA 92024
Great atmosphere in a hacienda with multiple rooms and patio spaces, serving zesty mainland Mexican cooking with unusual dishes like shrimp zarandeados with sauce of chiles, beef in cilantro sauce, and a parrillada (mixed grill) to serve two. Moderate.
After this restaurant closed, the locale later hosted the Patio on 101.
