Help me with some suggestions for all meals please!

Self admitted long time CH who has gone dormant. But I always find myself looking back to the only site that has reliable recommendations but more importantly more reliable users/posters. I am bringing my son to San Diego for a rowing regatta from April 3 thru April 7. He has a voracious appetite (like his dad) and sadly (with a wink) he has become like me. We look forward to every meal with gusto and anticipation and we will go to the mountain top for whatever is good! We would prefer to keep it to a tight budget but not afraid of spending $ when it comes to a truly unforgettable food experience.

So far on my list:

Fernandez Birria Restaurant, Local 55, Trust, Sushi Ota, Wrench & Rodent Seabasstropub, Crack Shack, Monello

I know those are all over the board but that is the partial list I have come up with. I would love any insight and recommendations and thank you all in advance for your help.
