Happy Hour at the Prado

A frozen passion fruit margarita and my regular margarita on the rocks!What is one of the best kept secrets in San Diego: Happy Hour at the Prado. This is the place to be (Monday to Thursday from 4 to 6PM) if you are looking for the best margaritas, well-drinks and house wine (in large glasses) for $2.50. Yes, two-feetie.

But that's not all, they also serve some of their most popular appetizers for half-price such as the crispy calamari with a chile-lime cabbage slaw and a sweet & spicy dipping sauce ($4.50), shrimp stuffed jalapeno poppers with a chimirri sauce ($4.50), or their yummy beef taquitos with a spicy sauce ($2.50). The Chicken Quesadilla

The Prado was formerly named Cafe Del Rey Moro and it is located in the historic Balboa Park. Balboa Park is the largest urban cultural park in the nation. It's home to 15 museums, various performing arts organizations and the world famous San Diego Zoo. Balboa Park is also acclaimed for its horticultural treasures. So, whether you're a native San Diegan or a tourist, make sure you stop at the Prado for happy hour. You may, just may, find my husband and I at the restaurant since it's only minutes away from our place!
