+1 for the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, I really enjoyed that!
+1 for Puesto for great contemporary Mexican food and cocktails. Another great place for tacos is Salud in Barrio Logan - it's much more casual than Puesto. The Barrio Logan neighbourhood itself is worth a quick stop for a wander.
For desserts, a local recommended Extraordinary Desserts to me. I also like Salt & Straw for an ice cream fix, but they have stores in multiple cities on the west coast so if you don't make it in San Diego, there is always the option to try it in Portland, LA or San Francisco.
If you feel like some healthy food, Cafe Gratitude is amazing.
In the supermarkets, look out for Chuao chocolate blocks - interesting flavours (such as churros) and a local company based in Carlsbad. A recommendation from the local friend I stayed with.
If you intend to venture a little further north: my friend took me to the Meditation Gardens in Encinitas and the Leucadia Farmers' Market.
