Where should you eat in San Diego?

Last updated: 15 September 2026

  • Sugarfish (Little Italy): no explanation needed
  • Barbusa (Little Italy): get the short rib lasagna
  • Leila (North Park): go for drinks, and get the cilantro tomato martini
  • Mothership (South Park): v on brand
  • Taco Centro (Gaslamp + Little Italy): my faveee burrito bowls
  • Mike's Red Tacos (Clairemont, Point Loma, Mira Mesa): much better than Medieval Times, which also has all red food
