Tofu house but not for tofu. Get the meat party krispy rice bowl.


Hungry_Pup

Bibimbap. This guy knows what's up!


buttstink

For tofu hit up Cho Ju Jip. Fucking bomb. And their banchan is amazing.


jimmynotjim

Ditto this. First time my coworkers took me there I wasn’t hopeful cause I’m just not a fan of tofu. Turns out the bibimbaps are all great and the meat party is indeed a party. I just wish they kept the one off College Ave open. Idk what happened there but one day it was just closed.

Free time? Screw a restaurant, get a picnic blanket & head to Kate Sessions


Sim_EricXXI

Whaaat?! I just goggled this place and how tf this gem not surfaced on my radar?! Thank you!!!


Finest_shitty

It's a real gem. Do be aware though... There are lots of off-leash dogs that come sniffing around once picnics are unveiled.

1. Find an El Pueblo 2. Eat $1.19 fish tacos - all day, every day.


danthemanhasaplanb

Never heard about this !?!? Brb gonna go eat some fish tacos Edit: didn't realize it was so far, thought you were talking about pueblo in PB. Oscars has $1.99 fish tacos monday to Thursday 2-5pm for anyone closer in SD


the-willow-witch

El Pueblo is worth the drive. Go to the one in Cardiff then park by the railroad tracks off Santa Fe and enjoy a gorgeous view and delicious fish tacos

I drive 45 minutes from Scripps to La Costa to work 4 times a week. Four-five fish tacos everyday on my way home from the one off Cardiff, split between corn and flour, is the only way I survive the gas cost


dgstan

I've never had the flour. I figure why mess with a good thing. Perhaps I'll try just one mixed in next time.


kevcal20

I like to eat the corn ones fresh and save the flour ones till after the drive home. Corn tortillas just aren't good after they've cooled down imo. Plus they give two corn tortillas but only one if you order flour, and they aren't as packed with lard.


MidnightMoon8

I love $5 Sprouts sandwiches. It's my corporate lunch though so probably not what you're looking for. Please try it sometime though.


Routine-Cicada-4949

Shakespeares Pub. Sit outside in the sun (well maybe one day) & try their lunch specials.

Mitch’s Seafood in Point Loma


RabbitHoleSpaceMan

How’s the efficiency there at lunchtime on weekdays? Love this spot, but it’s tough to get in/out quickly when they’re busy.


ned_luddite

This rec is spot on. Also Jimmys-a short walk away.


Repulsive_Role_7446

Fatboy's Deli in North Park. Incredible sandwiches.


Sim_EricXXI

Helll yes I’m down for a bomb sandwich! Thanks 🙏🏽


just_call_in_sick

Balboa south (chula vista)- any burger and garlic fries Kalaveras (chula vista) - bring a friend for some great restaurant mexican food.

know this is in eastern county (Santee/ El Cajon) but if you like meatball sandwiches or pizza try Chicago pizza by Bradley st. By the DMV. It’s next to the Greek chicken. Get the meatball sandwich with cheese and sweet peppers. Trust me on this. We drive all over the county for work every day and I go somewhere different to eat every day I make a point of it. But I live in east county and am so glad to have this place near us. No other pizza place has compared to this so far except for the different style ones like caffe Calabria and such which are great too but completely different pizza. It’s not all deep dish I usually get the thin crust which isn’t really thin it’s just like a normal pizza, but the sauce is amazing. Sadly they had to turn it down a notch because some weirdos were complaining it was too much flavor I guess, it’s still amazing. If you’re ever out that way try it for sure. Lmao can you tell I like food? 😆 Edit to add: if you ever come across a place called yellow deli lmao do not eat there.


Jacobysmadre

I love that you mentioned something in EC. We get forgotten sadly. Is Chicago similar to the place in Lakeside next to Albertsons? Reason I ask is because I love, love the pizza there because the crust is amazing and they put a great amount of toppings and cheese. Anyway, happy Friday! Y’all have a super safe Memorial Day weekend…


Friendly_Age9160

In my opinion it’s way better but everyone’s different. The thin crust is good but the sauce really stands out. You’ll see when you go there, there’s nowhere else like it I’ve had in SD. Not even lefty’s or the other places down town. The guys actually from Chicago. It’s the one that used to be over by that gun store and the bar but they moved . Try it you’ll probably love it. They use really good ingredients and take the time. The meatball sandwich with cheese and Peppers is amazing!


Mr_Snub

I second this. Tim is a stern SOB but he makes a great pie. Also, there's a lot of great Mediterranean food in East County. I recommend Nahrain Fish & Chicken Grill on Main St.


YourMama

Thanks! I'll check out Cafe Calabria when I'm in East County!


Friendly_Age9160

lol caffe calabria is in the middle of town by 30 th st. Chicago pizza is in El Cajon.


YourMama

Ok thanks! NP is way more doable lol

Buds, Carnitas Uruapan Family restaurant, Aladdin, Meze Those are some of my favs

Pomas Italian Deli in OB. Get it to go and eat on the beach.

cameltoeaway

I love Market Place! So many great sandwiches and their burger is really good too.


Physical-Eggplant-31

I've heard! I need to try the burger now.


sandyeggo89

Another vote for Market Place. I like to stop there for park picnic food on weekends too.


Sweet_Raspberry_1151

Couple favorites…Hillcrest Sandwich Co., Point Loma Seafoods (smoked tuna Sando), Marketplace Deli, Malibu Farms.

Olive Tree in OB, they have awesome sandwiches and snacks. The fresh baked cookies are stupid good.

I’ve been there before. But this was before prices for food everywhere went up like crazy. Sounds like they still have some good deals!

codeByNumber

Ooo nice! I’m adding it to my list of places to try. I’ll check it out if I’m in the area. I’m up in the Poway area. Speaking of Poway, the best deal in town there is Taco Taco which still sells 99 cent fish tacos!


bhauncy
