The Best San Diego Restaurants Seen on Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives
"Eddie V’s will be serving a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings this year – complete with Brioche Sage Stuffing and hand-whipped potatoes, to name a few!. If you’re not feeling festive, you can always order from the regular menu; no one could blame you for eyeing the Chilean sea bass or lobster tacos at this well-known seafood destination in La Jolla. Both menus will be served from 11:00am-9:00 pm."

"3001 Beech St, San Diego, CA 92102(619) 381-4844Reserve a Table for 6 or More Here$$ | Pizza | Fresh Pasta. Funny enough, this Italian restaurant is not in Little Italy. I think that’s a good thing since very few amazing Italian restaurants are in that area."
"One of our favorite San Diego treats is the Mexican street corn from the Taco Stand. The Taco Stand is a La Jolla local favorite for burritos, and unless you arrive early (or late), expect to find a line. It is one of our family must stop visits in San Diego!"
"If you’re looking for a solid taco or burrito, head to Taco Stand. It’s inspired by the taco stands of Tijuana and Baja Mexico and busy for a reason. It’s best to go on the early side to avoid peak lunch and dinner crowds (or opt for takeout)."
"Village Pizzeria has become home to family portions of quality Italian food with a fun, friendly environment. Open for lunch and dinnerDress code: CasualPhone: +1 619-522-0449"
"Happy hour was great, $2.50 for a slice of pizza the size of your head, the worker up front was really relaxed and the pizza there was great, a perfect spot..."
"Village Pizza has great Italian Food and there are about 8-10 tables outside that are dog friendly!. However, no beer or wine is served outside."
"Handcrafted, small-batch beers are the name of the game at Kilowatt. The master brewers at this eclectic neighborhood beer palace continually tweak their recipes for optimal color, flavor, bouquet, and balance. This commitment to experimentation means the beer list is always brimming with fantastic flavors and uncommon variety."
"Pizzeria Luigi is serving up New York-style pizza in sunny San Diego. Go in and grab a slice or two from one of their three locations scattered about SD."
"Time: Daily from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.Specials: $2 off beers, cocktails, and wines by the glass | ½ priced long list of shareables that include $11.25 chicken lettuce cups, $8.75 meatballs and marinara, $7.75 truffle fries and moreOcean View: NoWhy Go: Happy hour in a family-friendly restaurant that kids love offering pizzas, salads, pasta and moreNeighborhood: Village of La JollaAddress: 702 Pearl Street, La Jolla, CA 92037"
"Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza & Grill is a general family restaurant offering things like messy sundaes, pasta dishes, wood-fired pizzas, salads, dumplings, and more on its enormous menu. (Location: La Jolla Village)"
"For the best sushi in La Mesa, diners head to Banbu Sushi Bar and Grill. This restaurant has beautiful outdoor dining options with firepits, so head here on a nice night, no matter..."
"One of the former navy buildings at Liberty Station has been adapted for this enticing food destination. Open seven days a week, 11:00 – 19:00, the Liberty Public Market is like an urban central market, showing off the best of the region’s wine, beer, fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, pastries, prepared foods, sauces and arts and crafts. It’s a place for people who are concerned about food provenance to do their food shop, but is also a must for on-the-spot dining, with a dash of pop-up eateries and stands."
"When asking people for recommendations on what to do during a trip to San Diego, they’ll probably mention Liberty Public Market. It runs all day and every day, and it offers a staggering amount of goods from dozens and dozens of vendors. Whether you’re looking for rare books, artisan cheeses, homemade jewelry or cheesy t-shirts saying “I Heart California,” you can find them here."
"For a truly unique San Diego hiking experience you simply can’t get anywhere else, head to Torrey Pines State Beach. Torrey Pines offers a multitude of trails, and none is particularly challenging. However, the views are spectacular."
"With dark sand and a rocky shoreline, you’ll get a great dramatic landscape to photograph at Torrey Pines State Beach!"
"You’ll find South Mission Beach at the extreme south end of the Mission Beach Peninsula. It’s one of the widest beaches in the city, so it’s a great place to play a game of beach volleyball or basketball. This beach is slightly more subdued than some of the others in the area, but it still gets crowded, so join the party as early as possible."
"You can always find beautiful photos to share from the beaches of San Diego. The photo below is actually a rare occurrence in Coronado where you can see a sunken ship at low tide. More: Where to Find the Sunken Ship in San Diego"
