Is it getting "hot" around here or what? I went and did my morning shopping this past weekend and decided to take a bit more time to see what was up in the Clairemont and Kearny Mesa area. And by coincidence all three places I noticed have a bit of "heat or spice" to them......
Mike's Red Tacos Brick and Mortar Coming to Clairemont:
I noticed the sign while driving up Genesee, so I took a short detour into the parking lot where Kroran is located.
This is where I believe Wings Republic was located. Even though I wasn't the biggest fan of the food truck, I'll probably check out the brick and mortar location when they open. I have a feeling they'll be pretty busy.

Driving down Convoy, I went into the parking lot of Convoy Pointe Plaza to see what was up with the rebuilding of China Max (actually not much). And saw this......
Yin Tang Hot Pot Replacing A-Bowl:
In the former location of A-Bowl.
Bummer.....
4690 Convoy St.
San Diego, CA 92111
Jomaru Korean Hot Pot Coming to Kearny Mesa:
Drove past the strip mall that houses Tajima, Song Hak, and Steamy Piggy. I noticed a sign saying "Jomaru Korean Hot Pot".
The name sounded familiar....and reading this post jogged my memory. We saw Jomaru Gamjatang locations in Seoul. Never got to try them though.
4681 Convoy St
San Diego, CA 92111
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Stay safe!
Try the Birria Spot Truck. They are usually at Padre Gold at the intersection of Ulric and Genessee. Pretty decent

I've passed by that truck a couple of times Denver! Thanks for the recommendation!

I was so sad that A Bowl closed. The guy who was always working there was always super sweet when we’d take my mom out to eat there and we enjoyed the food. Wish it wasn’t another hot pot place going in

Why am I getting the feeling that hot pot is the newest trend? Trends that I remember (not necessarily in order) were quick pizzas, burgers, poke and ramen.

And before all of that was boba....and recently birria Sandy! We got like 6 hot pot places in the area???
