Best Family Restaurants in Mount Soledad

Standout items include the cinnamon roll pancakes, shrimp and grits, and the Breakfast Sammie, made with thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon marinated in paprika and brown sugar with a sunny-side up egg (dubbed by us to be one of the best in SD). Owner Johan Engman (who also owns and operates three Fig Tree Café outposts) is looking to expand his breakfast brand even further with the debut of North Park Breakfast Co. this summer."

"The Trails Neighborhood Eatery is an unassuming diner located in east San Diego County near Mission Trails Regional Park. If it weren’t for the line of customers out the door, it might be hard to find, but once inside the delightful aroma of freshly made bacon and brewing coffee paint a different picture. Since appearing on the Food Network’s Restaurant Impossible, this café has grown exponentially in popularity."

"It’s authentic, albeit in a San Diego way, owned by the same family forever and serving the classics. Their carne asada street tacos are the way to go, served with rice, beans, cabbage salad, and endless chips, like all of their plates it’s pretty hard to spend more than $15. Excellent house margaritas require no upgrade."
