Panama 66 continues to be one of our favorite spots in San Diego—this was our second visit, and it absolutely lived up to the fond memories from our first. Nestled in Balboa Park right next to the sculpture garden, the location is beautiful …

Visited Balboa Park and tried this place for lunch. Ordered the Park Burger. The beef is juicy and the burger is tasty. Ordered the spinach salad as well but the dressings is a bit heavy and makes it a bit salty. Love the atmosphere and it's outdoor setting. It's a nice place to grab a quick bite.

Pro tip: if you are only getting drinks, there is a different, faster line in. There are limited tables, so if you bring drinks in, take them out with you so the next folks don't have to deal with those dishes on the small tables. Go early …
