Best BBQ in San Diego hands down! Ribs are so buttery...
Make sure you check their hours, better go there at lunch time, nights are more crowded and if they sell out you are out of luck.

One of San Diego's new gems! VEGAN but you wouldn't know it... ask for the bbq sandwich, the fried pickles and cauliflower (it's like biting a cloud) and the decor is AWESOME! Think of kitty cats and heavy metal, so cool!
Not too crazy about their drinks, I always order their beer.

Best view of San Diego. The drive up to the light house is incredible, once there views are superb. There's an entrance fee since it's a National Monument, but it's very affordable. Also drive down on the coast side and visit the tide pools.
