San Diego players

I'm a former San Diego area resident (San Marcos) and am going to be back in town for about two weeks in early November. Back when I lived there the casinos in the area were still in there infancy and there weren't nearly as many as there are today. I'm looking to play some poker while I'm in the area and was looking to get some reccomendations from people who have played in the San Diego area. Where is the best place to play? I'm basically looking on playing anywhere from 4-8 up to 8-16 limit. Any info anybody can give me on what the competition is like, what the rake is like at various places, and which rooms are the nicest would be appreciated.

Thanks and looking forward to getting back.
