Hey Ms. Nita,
One of my favorites, and its not just because of the food – The Owners are GREAT! : MAGNOLIA’S
It’s at Market & Euclid Ave.(In the Marketplace Shopping Center) Southeast San Diego (15 Frwy & 94 Frwy)
In San Diego, it’s as authentic as you are going to get! The prices for some entrees are a little high – this is Southern Cooking! They do have some Soul Dishes (I would call Bessie Johnson or one of her staff if you are looking for something specific – they try to please EVERYONE!)
They are open late most nights – I think that they are closed on Mondays or at least earlier on Sundays.
I know, this is not Chicago Soul Food – But you will leave there needing to wipe the smirk off of everyone else’s face who proclaims that they have Down Home Southern Food!
You won’t be dissapointed!
