After visiting the Desert View Tower & Boulder Park,as we were leaving we noticed a few flying saucers on the side of the road with a sign that read “Coyote’s Flying Saucer Retrievals & Repairs”.
Heading over, we were quickly greeted by the “store” owner, Coyote. What a character this man is! I have never met anyone like him. He comes off as a very sincere man to me, quirky as can be, a forever-child at heart & just brimming with extraterrestrial humor. His store front consists of flying saucers, but also a “theater” in the back where they have movie night, projecting the films onto a huge boulder.Keep your eyes peeled along the drive. Coyote has decorations all over the place!

This place is legendary in the SD community! They even invented the taquito or rolled taco. The real gem of El Indo is the tortillas (since it's technically a tortilla factory before it's a restaurant) and their chips. You cannot come here without leaving with a bag of chips and a stack of tortillas.

Inside a small wood-shingled building on La Jolla’s oceanfront Coast Blvd lies a beach-themed gift shop and access to one of La Jolla’s coolest attractions. In fact, tourists who wander into Sunny Jim’s Cave Store to browse might just be surprised by the dark tunnel leading down to Sunny Jim cave, the only sea cave in California that is accessible by land. If you have some time to spare in La Jolla, a duck into the cave is well worth a few dollars and maybe 30 minutes. There is a small entry fee (adults are $5 and kids are $3).
