Eat
Eat Da Kine Deigo's Insane Burritos
This beach side place is an awesome example of the local surf culture. Hit the beach and then drop in for a fun outdoor atmosphere and a good Spanish-inspired meal. The insane burritos, Barney Bowls, and spiced carrots and pot mac, are delicious and inexpensive.
