SALT FARM! YES! The answer to all of my gift giving and self treating needs!…read more A few months ago I bought a bunch of their salts. Some for gifts, some for myself. They have been a delight. Everyone who received them LOVED them, and I have been really enjoying the ones I got, too. I think that the wasabi might be my favorite (but then again, I love the smoked one I got. And the chipotle...) They set up shop at the Hillcrest and Little Italy farmers markets and their products are also starting to pop up in stores around town (I just saw their stuff in Pigment). Every time I've been to their booth, they have been so nice and helpful. I didn't feel like they were giving me the hard sell -- just sharing products that they loved. The woman who sold me the salt told me that she loves the wasabi salt on cucumbers. I agree! I now make these little rollups with nori + avocado + julienned cucumber + wasabi salt. The. Bomb.

I was having some physical problems and feel like it helped heal me in a very real and gentle way. I also really liked the herbal rescue balm for my stretch marks. It felt very soothing and I haven't had as many which is amazing since it's herbal and not made of chemicals. I feel grateful to find a herbal spot run by a local Mexican Woman where things are actually done by her, I've seen her make some products and she's very thorough and sanitary. Along with the fact that all her herbs are organic. I recommend coming in if you're looking for a special quality herbal shop.

We were legitimately excited to check this place out and support a local small business, but…read moreunfortunately had a terrible experience from start to finish. In the end, we paid $60 for merchandise we ended up leaving behind due to the terrible interaction we had with the proprietor. When we first walked in, she was nowhere to be seen. We spent the first five minutes wandering around alone, looking at the products, until she appeared from the back. My friend asked her about her teas and was immediately met with an awkward and abrupt "I'm not a doctor and can't give medical advice." We weren't asking for advice on health conditions; we were asking for some information on the teas she was selling. After a few more awkward exchanges we bought two and left. Five minutes later, two blocks down the street in another store, the proprietor shows up - had tracked us down - to inform us that our two 12-year-old boys had sprayed a couple of the room sprays that hadn't been clearly marked as "testers" even though they were sitting in a row of about 8 other "tester" bottles. She demanded "accountability" and escorted us back to her store, forcing us to buy two of the room sprays that she said had been used. The kids had made an honest mistake, maybe sprayed one spritz by accident from a bottle that didn't have the tester sticker, and now she was delivering a lecture and coercing us into buying two $15 room sprays she said had been touched! So, wanting this whole uncomfortable affair to end, we had the kids apologize and bought the sprays. Half a block down the street, we decided we didn't want to carry any of her bad juju with us, took the bag of products back and left them on the counter. $60 worth of products, down the tube. It was my friend's birthday and this woman had ruined our afternoon. No one should expect to run a thriving small business when you provide obtuse and awkward responses to legitimate product questions and then proceed to hunt paying customers down on the street and demand payment for merchandise that was handled lightly by two CHILDREN. Bad energy, bad customer service. We paid $60 for nothing. We'll never go here again and will tell others not to bother either.

I didn't have time to explore the whole store but will definitely be back for more meat!

They have the kind of hot sauces that you'd want to be certain aren't on your fingers before you rub your eyes. They have some dry rub options, little bottles of various hot sauces that you could buy as a gift. There's a sampling station with about 5 hot sauces you could try. The person who worked the store told me that the Sauce Lords Banana Pepper was one of her favorite sauces and it happened to be one available in the sampling station. It's good! It's hot but not ridiculously hot, light sweetness at the back and kinda light; I think it'd go well with fish, fish tacos. Really surprised by the amount of heat I'm getting from it because it's unexpected from banana peppers, but definitely tasty! Very knowledgeable and friendly service too. Highly recommend this store if you're a hot head.

She was disappointed that the soft shell crab sandwich was not on the menu. I reminded him that is a seasonal item. He settled for the Buffalo Calamari sandwich. There was too much Buffalo and Blue Cheese for his liking. The roll was perfectly toasty on the outside and soft on the inside. The calamari was cooked well, with a light crispy crust. It could have used a small side salad. I ordered the Ahi Poke with rice. You have the option to add avocado for and additional charge. It was very fresh and well marinated. I should have ordered it with wonton chips. Both meals were generous portions, I took my left overs home he didn't. Service could have been better. My meal was dropped off first. So we had to wait a bit longer for his to eat together. There was water sitting under the utensil holder so the server wiped that up with a napkin. We sat on the back patio to get some air. No one checked on us after food was dropped off. We had to go inside to get a ToGo container. While I appreciate that it's a seafood market + restaurant, I think service and quality used to be better overall.

Or they have bags of sourdough bread available for dipping. I tried many. Despite the fact I usually do not like dipping in oil etc! These were flavored wonderfully. I like the espresso balsamic vinegar and the strawberry balsamic vinegar. The blueberry was a little too heavy on the blueberry flavor. And the maple wasn't my taste. But the strawberry was a big hit. I bought a bottle of it. The herbs de Provence oil was good and fragrant. And the mushroom & sage oil was surprisingly good as well. I don't even like mushroom! In addition, I tried one of their spicy oils which was also lovely. I think it was green chile? It would be so good on pizza! I think we were in here for a while. Went through 3 snack bags of bread. It was so good and that was basically dinner haha. Highly recommend the place.

Food was ready on time. Will absolutely order from here again. I got the following items: - Nasi Kuning (rice was delicious, sambal was yummy) - Sate Ayam (delicious by itself. Peanut sauce was fantastic) - Nasi Rendang (super tender, so good with white rice) - roti paratha (delicious dip.

We asked for more later in our meal to scrape the extra sauce some our pasta dishes. Btw, the service was impeccable and the decoration was great - it made you think that you're not in San Diego. It was great. The appetizers we ordered were fritto misto - this was just okay, nothing to write home about, mushroom flan - we weren't sure what to expect from it but it was pretty good, it was creamy and the flavor wasn't overwhelming and lastly, the stuffed squash blossoms - this was amazing, make sure not to bite into it immediately because the insides were hot hot hot. The bread was another vessel of what came out of the squash blossoms. It was so so good. The pasta dishes were as follows: Crab gnocchi - the gnocchi were in perfect round balls and I was amused by it. They had a great to them and the bits of crab on top worked well texture wise. The flavor was very simple and it was just delicious. Sombreri - this was al dente, and it was perfect. The sausage was in every bite and the sauce was also so good. It wasn't salty at all. Mezzaluna - I didn't even know it was pear! The sauce was to die for. We loved the Gorgonzola flavor and we took those extra pieces of bread and wiped the bowl clean. The bits of nuts were a great crunch to the perfectly cooked ravioli. Orzotto - this was very flavorful. Lots of seafood and the orzo was nice and soft. Again, the sauce was also the highlight of the dish. Overall, it was such a great meal. The flavors were so good and everything was cooked perfectly. The service was impeccable and we also found parking immediately. We will definitely go back again.
