That is a very specific list, @gulfporter! At least you are clear on what you are looking for.

 

San Diego is famous for its Mexican cuisine, but obviously you have plenty of that in your village, and also its vibrant Asian food scene (in Convoy neighborhood, see here).

 

Some of the cuisines you listed aren't especially common in SD but I will do my best to help, as long as you promise to share your impressions after your visit 😉.

  • Jamaican (including goat): Rock Steady in Grant Hill (east of downtown)
  • Afghan and Persian cuisine: Khyber Pass in Hillcrest
  • Indian: the place I liked in Sorrento Valley changed hands during covid and I don't have a go-to at the moment. SD Magazine recommends the following: Bhojan Griha (critic's pick), Curry & More Indian Bistro (readers' pick), and Charminar (see here for more of their recommendations).
  • Moroccan: the only Moroccan place I am aware of is Medina which does Baja-Moroccan fusion and is quite good
  • New Mexican: Wolf in the Woods is excellent (reservations are a must)

All of the above are extremely casual, with the exception of the last one which is nice-casual :D (you'd be hard press to find anything that isn't casual in SD).

 

In addition, the linked thread has some recommendations that may work for you (most are older posts, but some of these restaurants are still around), so I recommend going through it. Also it's worth checking out Kirk's blog mmm-yoso which has a lot of ideas for hole-in-the-wall restaurants that you can filter by cuisine. Lastly, Eater has a few lists as well that can be helpful (see here, and here).

 

Enjoy your visit!
