That's the one - has a whole lot of banknotes and coins under glass from all
over the world.

Maybe that's the one? - I typed Mexican Cantina but didn't mean it as a
place name - it's a mostly open air affair with a garden area and a stage
plus an outdoor oven.

If you live in those parts you are certainly in a great part of the world.
We were supposed to be going to SF until the January storms hit and changed
to SD - what a great city, apart from the driving hassles. It doesn't seem
to get the big wrap that other places seem to get re attractions etc (apart
from SeaWorld/Zoo) We were amazed at Balboa Park and the harbour area. Of
course, you have to tolerate those Chargers but that's a small price to pay.
It's on our list to return to.
