On a beautiful afternoon in San Diego, there's nothing better than sitting on the Balboa Park patio of The Prado enjoying a drink in good company and soaking up the sun.
One of the Cohn Restaurant Group's finest restaurants in San Diego, The Prado garden patio exhibits the establishment's architectural charm and history. Step inside for a more intimate dining experience, including evenings that are often full of live music and fresh, local energy.
The Prado is well-known for their mojitos, sangria, and flavored margaritas - so it makes sense that their fantastic happy hour takes place twice throughout the day. Catch the later shift from 8-10pm and snag fantastic deals on calamari appetizers, quesadillas with hummus, and a variety of tapas. Speaking of hummus - don't fill up on The Prado's version of complimentary "chips and salsa" - thin crackers with homemade hummus.
The main menu boasts fantastic plates featuring seared Ahi with an edamame salad, perfectly crisped crabcakes with smoked bacon and corn salad, and a grilled skirt steak alongside a deliciously rich beet salad including dijon truffle. Try out the calamari fries with Korean soy bean chili sauce, or the Adobo braised pork osso buco topped with tomatillo-cilantro sauce. Pair with a fine wine recommendation from the well-informed wait staff to round out the flavor of your afternoon or evening.
Don't think you have to commit to one dish, however. With a variety of options including seafood and chicken, mild and spicy, the assortment of menu items introduces a flavor and experience that is not replicated anywhere else in the San Diego restaurant market. After your meal, make sure to take a nice long stroll through the park or wander your way into a museum.
