"Where: 1421 University Ave, San Diego, CA 92103 This lively Mexican restaurant creates a party vibe with a festive atmosphere and extensive menu of margaritas. Everyone is welcome at this "Home, Sweet Homo", and you're guaranteed to have a fabulous Betty experience. Baja Betty's is a great place to go for Taco Tuesdays and Bubbles and Brunch on weekends."
"OceansideThis classic, family-owned fish and chippery in Oceanside’s South Harbor is proof that waterfront dining doesn’t need to be a pricey affair. Portions are generous and everything is delicious, just be prepared to defend your food from seagulls that patrol the area, especially if you sit outside. Sign up here for our daily San Diego email and be the first to get all the food/drink/fun in town."
"Oscar's Mexican Seafood is a very popular seafood-based Mexican food eatery in San Diego. A hole-in-the-wall near a smoke shop and a dive bar, this gem is casual with a to-go atmosphere and very little seating. The tacos, which can be upgraded to a burrito for just $1 more, are worth the wait--and there is often a wait."
"Big, bold flavors and within budget, Oscars’ three locations are cranking out the best Mexican food in San Diego. They are well known for their hearty Mexican tacos, heaping with fresh fish or shrimp, cabbage, ruby red tomatoes, and huge slices of avocado. Grab extra napkins because these babies are packed!"
"I first found this local hole-in-the-wall place 10 years ago. Since then, they have expanded and added 3 other locations and that speaks volumes about their food. While the tacos are delicious, order the shrimp and fish ceviche and their grilled fish – to die for!!"
"Although this Del Mar fish market has come a long way since its inception (as a humble case operated by one man) in 1974, its commitment to high-quality seafood remains. Today, that takes the form of a wide variety of sautéed and chargrilled catches, from local yellowtail and thresher shark to Mexican octopus and Idaho rainbow trout.

"Fish and chips headlines the menu at this family-owned and operated Oceanside eatery with views of the harbor. For non-fried options, consider the grilled fish plate seasoned with butter, garlic or herb seasoning. Outdoor seating is first-come, first-served."
"The Fish Market is known for its grilled seafood, sushi, and oyster bars. It is a Bayfront chain branch that offers diners patio tables and the dual service of a retail market. After enjoying your meal you can take some home."
"Trendsetters and tastemakers have flocked to Miso Harney Sushi since the day it opened without slowing down. The ultra-cool vibe inside is set off by the rich red walls and marble counter tops.[Learn more]"
"Harney Sushi’s funky, experimental vibe puts it at the top of any list of best sushi in San Deigo. The creative, exciting menu features some riffs on classic favorites and new takes on what sushi can be."
"When you walk into this jewel of a restaurant on Columbia Street, it seems like the food couldn’t possibly live up to the panoramic view of the city and its harbor through its vast wall-length windows. Sitting on the bar seats facing out, you can drink in the sunset over the skyline with the hanging lanterns creating ambiance behind you. Luckily, the food definitely delivers as well – as do the drinks!"
"Los Peñasquitos (“little cliffs”) is a great beginners’ trail for those who want to enjoy mountain-feel views without having to hire an expedition crew. There are two approaches (east and west), and the trailheads offer a trek of either 6.5, or 5.5 miles, respectively. The terrain is gradual and level, but the trails are surrounded by the sort of views that gave the area its name: scenic rocky outcroppings, and stony formations that ripple with rubble."
"Located in the southwest corner of San Diego, the Tijuana Estuary is a wetlands area with beach, dune, mudflat, salt marsh, riparian, coastal sage scrub, and upland habitats that are free to explore. Start at the Visitor Center to learn about the trails, flora and fauna (many are rare or endangered), and various things to do during your visit. Kids can earn junior rangers here and they offer a variety of environmental education resources online."
"At the southernmost tip of San Diego is one of the most serene places that few people know about. Where the Tijuana River meets the sea is where you’ll find the Tijuana Slough with over 2,000 acres of wetlands. Over 370 bird species have been observed there with 5 of them being endangered species that are regularly seen."
"Way down in sometimes-forgotten Imperial Beach is found a favorite landscape for many people in San Diego. This Tijuana Estuary is connected to some couple of parks. You are going to find amazing places such as Tijuana River County Open Space Reserve and Border Field State Park."
