I had tried their tuna melt before and liked it quite a bit. Unfortunately they didn&#8217;t have it any more but they did have a Tuna Salad Panini on the menu. Ordered that along with a side if fries. Turned out to be a really good sandwich but the bread slices were so huge that I ended up not being able to finish it. My mom ordered a simple grilled cheese sandwich that she really enjoyed.<\/p>\n<p>A nice surprise was running into my friend Bethany and her two kids, Taylor and Cooper. We sat with them while my mom and I ate our sandwiches. Even shared our fries with Taylor.<\/p>\n<p>As we were walking back to our car after lunch we had a fun encounter with the San Diego Zoo Train. Cute way to end our Balboa Park outing for the day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"570\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.pacsworlds.com\\\/blogs\\\/2012\\\/06\\\/12\\\/surprise-guests-during-lunch-at-the-village-grill\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:21460605}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 570px;
