Where I Go Out

Nunzio's Bomb Cheese Steak

Pop's Jersey Style Cheese Steaks

$$, Sandwiches, Pacific Beach

"San Diego is chock-full of East Coast transplants, and Pop's is one of them. The rest of us are all lucky that he's out here whipping up amazing cheesesteak heroes. Flavorful shaved beef, sweet and spicy peppers, mushrooms, onions, and mozzarella cheese—yum."

California Killer Cookies

Uncle Biff's

$, Desserts, Bakery, Hillcrest

"This is a great little local shop in Hillcrest with an amazing assortment of buttery and rich cookies. You can't go wrong with the California Killers with nuts or the toffee almond for that salty-sweet satisfaction."

$, Bakery, Point Loma Heights

"Chef Derek is a wonderful cookie genius and makes AMAZING treats. I don't think I've ever had a cookie I didn't like from him. They are mostly available at farmers markets, but they have a location opening in Point Loma that I'm scared I will visit all too often!"

$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Noodles, North Park

"I add the char-su belly (SCORE!). This is a great after-work spot, but it's good for any time you want amazing ramen and great beer."

$, Mexican, Barrio Logan

"This is the best hole-in-the-wall Mexican that both everyone and no one seems to know about. It has an unassuming menu of solid Mexican food. Go for the rolled tacos and make sure to get some tortillas. They are AMAZEBALLS!"

$$, Bbq, Midway

"Good barbecue is hard to find in SD, but Phil's takes baby back ribs and slow cooks them, making them meltingly tender and fall-off-the-bone good. Grab extra napkins; you're going to want to load 'em up with even more of their signature sauce when you're eating 'em."
