what are some of the mexican influences in san diego? Old town? Balboa Park?|||since calif. was originally part of mexico, sd culture combines traditional mexican with modern american. it is much easier to get around in sd if you know spanish. the food has many mexican influences, and the city itself has mexican influnces. geographically, sd might be considered southwest but culturally it is very different, since sd is more directly related to mexico|||It all started hundreds of years ago when the Spanish built the California Missions, Mission San Diego being the first built in California.Then when Mexico got their independence from Spain it became part of Mexico. After the battles in Texas, Mexico lost or was robbed of the territory by the United States of America. So yes there is a lot of very rich Mexican influence in San Diego.|||Visit the missions, dont go to TJ there is too much voilence right now. Old Town is a joke. For food visit Las Quatro Milpas in Barrio Logan. The only authentic mex food northside of the border. Google it and read the reviews.|||the only real culture we have in San Diego is from Mexico. food & drink buildings parties, festivals 2nd language it's all over town. |||Good food. That is the best!!
