"With 9 locations in San Diego and the surrounding areas, there is a Breakfast Republic near you, so no matter where you are staying this is one place not to be missed!.

"If giant plates of food are what you want, this is the place to get it!. Hash House is one of the best breakfast spots in San Diego, They have a lot of waffles, pancakes, and southern fares, like biscuits and gravy, and fried, chicken, mashed potatoes, and eggs. I have been here several times and I liked to get the sage chicken and smoked bacon waffles plate with a maple reduction, eggs, and fried leeks, it is amazing and I am so sad to be gluten-free now!"
"Brunch in Hillcrest: Hash House a Go Go(3628 5th Avenue) Warning, don’t visit Hash House alone. The plate sizes are disgustingly large but the eggs Benedict and bloody Mary (hey, you’re on holiday!) are amazingly good (even if it is a chain)."

"Of course I could not forget Rubio's, the Godfather of the Fish Taco. It was Ralph Rubio who while visiting Ensenada ate his first fish taco and from that came a vision of fish tacos everywhere. And while today everyone seems to have a fish taco on their menu it wasn’t that long ago that the idea of fish - in a taco - would elicit “ewwwwws” and “no way, dude”."
"If you’re looking for a quick, reliable bite to eat, stop into one of the many Rubio’s locations for fish tacos, quesadillas and other Mexican eats."
"El Cajon’s Burning Beard Brewing is open for dine-in and take out of crowlers, new growlers, and bottles. Call ahead or stop by for pick-up."
