    White Rice

    Mira Mesa
    Order: Sisig, lumpia, and the fried chicken$14–28

    Modern Filipino cooking that respects the originals — the best all-around option in the county.

    White Rice plates Filipino comfort food with restaurant polish: crackling sisig, clean adobo, and a fried chicken that's become a Mira Mesa institution.

    Local tip: Go with four people so you can cover sisig, chicken, and a noodle dish.

    Order: Kare-kare, dinuguan, and two-item plate$10–18

    The best turo-turo counter in San Diego and the best cheap feast in Mira Mesa.

    Point at the steam trays and eat like you're at a family party. Kare-kare and dinuguan are the standouts, and a two-item plate with rice is an absurd amount of food for the money.

    Local tip: Arrive before 1pm — the best trays go early and are not restocked.
