San Diego’s 15 Best Eats Under $5
"If the fresh ocean air has you ironically craving BBQ, head over to the Coronado Ferry Landing for pulled pork, brisket, sausage, ribs, and chicken. Served as a sandwich or plate with your choice of three housemade sauces ranging from sweet to spicy, this casual spot is a popular choice to get your BBQ fix. Insider tip: Tables can be hard to come by during the lunch and dinner rush so come early or order online."
"When our friends at Humble Sea in Santa Cruz, California, recommended that we check out the beers from North Park, we didn’t hesitate. And the recommendation was spot on. North Park stands out from the San Diego pack by fashioning some of the most decadent, elegant stouts around."

"This outpost location of Escondido’s Stone Brewing Company is one of the best breweries in Downtown San Diego, and it has many of the same signature brews, special releases, and small-batch beers on its lineup of 16 taps as its parent brewery. There are also farm-fresh snacks in the bistro, and if you fall in love with a specific brew, bottles are available for takeaway. (Tip: There’s another downtown location in Little Italy on Kettner Blvd.)"
"Craft beer lovers will recognize Stone Brewing since their brews are distributed not only around the country, but around the world. Hailing from San Diego, Stone Brewing has been making beer for over 10 years and is the largest brewery in Southern California. Their Arrogant Bastard Ale became so popular, they created a separate brewing company for it."
"As one of San Diego’s youngest craft breweries (first opening its doors in 2017), Thorn has already carved out a respectable niche among the county’s most successful sources of world-class beer. Thorn has grown its distribution throughout the region from this 30-barrel brewhouse and tasting room. Stop in to sample from the list of year-round favorites, seasonal specialties, and limited-release brews sure to satisfy."
"Thorn Brewing offering beer delivery from their Barrio Logan location. Deliveries are made Monday, Wednesday. Friday, and Saturday within a 14 mile radius of 92113."
"Port Brewing company was established in 2006 as a craft Brewery. It is extremely famous for manufacturing beers which are world-class in quality. The port brewing company has won many awards and medals, some of them in consecutive years."
"For over sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of north San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch® in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year – from early March through early May – literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in southern California."
"From stunning stretches of coastline and desert landscapes to seaside bluffs and historic mission-style architecture, Carlsbad is one of Southern California’s most alluring cities. It’s also home to one of the most amazing flower gardens in the state, which draws throngs of visitors from all over the region during the much-anticipated spring bloom. The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch are comprised of nearly 50 acres of rolling hills that typically explode with color for six or eight weeks sometime between March and May."
"Open annually from roughly March to Mother’s Day, The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch boasts vibrant rows of colorful ranunculus flowers along a North County hillside overlooking the stunning Carlsbad coastline. The 50-acre plot of flowers is popular for photos and family fun in a sweet pea maze, tractor rides, an orchid greenhouse, and several themed gardens. It’s also a popular location for weddings, showers, corporate events, and other gatherings."
"Located underneath the Coronado Bridge, Chicano Park is an inspiring collection of installations, murals and community gardens. The explosion of form and color is overwhelming, and it’s not uncommon to see other artists and filmmakers working in the park because of the inspirational and powerful messages that adorn views in every direction. You won’t find any chain stores or coffee shops in this area because the surrounding neighborhood of Barrio Logan has made great efforts to keep small businesses by local residents."
"Chicano Park is not your typical tourist destination but it is home to some rich Latino history in San Diego. The park is located underneath the Coronado Bay Bridge and it has some of the most beautiful murals and art that are painted on the pillars and sides of the freeway. The murals are constantly being changed by local artist and they tell some amazing stories."
"Chicano Park has a rich history, but the main draw for photographers and IGers are its beautiful murals. Each has a story of its own."
"Took my kids there during our trip to San Diego and it was nothing but disappointment!. The selection were very limited and food tasted gross."
