"A mainstay on State Street in Carlsbad, with a second location on Coast Highway just a few miles away in Oceanside, Don’s has been a big favorite of locals for decades. On any sunny morning, the umbrellas pop open and the sidewalk tables fill up with folks looking forward to having their eggs & bacon, machaca, or stuffed french toast while watching neighbors walk by with their kids on their way to dance class or walking their dogs to the beach. The weekend crowd always waits patiently because every morsel from this kitchen is worth it."

Interesting dishes include “pigs in a blanket”, chicken fingers and Baro’s root beer float!"

Perched atop the Del Mar Plaza in the heart of the village, Pacifica has been serving up tempting seafood, steak, and pasta entrees for over 30 years.

"Despite its informal vibe, there’s nothing casual about the quality of food on offer at the excellent Fish District. A fresh, healthy attitude to food (and a commendably sustainable attitude to sourcing) combines with a creative culinary approach to spectacular effect. In fairness, you’ll struggle to go wrong with whatever you choose from the menu, but if you want a real treat, the chowder bacon fries are as decadent as they come."

"We asked our waiter at South Draft in Mission Beach, where is the best Mexican food in San Diego?. He immediately recommended Oscars Mexican Seafood as a great local, hole in the wall place to grab fish tacos in San Diego. He warned us there may be lines, and we avoided them by visiting the shack near La Jolla at lunch time."

"The weekend crowds will always wait because they know two things: The line moves pretty quick, and the welcoming service that awaits is as good as the food. Swami’s started as a humble juice bar in Encinitas and has grown to nine current locations throughout San Diego, most being in North County. You can get a fresh smoothie, delicious Acai bowls, and vegetarian and vegan plates here."

"After eating the rest of the things on this list you might need a bit of a cleanse. Nourish yourself with an açai bowl before heading to the beach for a swim so you feel justified eating more food porn tomorrow."

"Enjoy fresh fish and chips, fish tacos or a South of the Border Salad at Single Fin––a surf-themed restaurant with good eats. Blue booths surrounded by surf fins and driftwood make this a fitting Mission Beach lunch spot. Insider's Tip: Take a bike ride along the Mission Bay bike trails then head here for eats."
