Southern California: Great Food at Outlet Malls

While outlet shopping centers generally mean bargains, but sometimes they mean surprisingly impressive cuisine in pretty surroundings too.

At Las Americas Premium Outlets , just south of downtown San Diego, enjoy Mexican food at Achiote that’s a step above the usual burrito-and-taco fare. Outlet malls throughout Southern California definitely aim to please the palate as well as the pocketbook. Check restaurant listings for other Premium Outlet Malls in Camarillo , Carlsbad , and Cabazon's Desert Hills mall, as well as for the Citadel Outlets east of Los Angeles, the Lake Elsinore Outlets between Riverside and Temecula, The Block At Orange , and the Cabazon Outlets .
