MONDAY ¢ Tacos El Gordo, National City—the go-to place for real authentic tacos in San Diego. The line is always long, so don’t expect to sneak in there. But the food is worth the wait. Get the Adobada Tacos. tacoselgordobc.com TUESDAY ¢ Fish tacos at Oscar's for Taco Tuesday. There are no better seafood tacos in San Diego. Try the Surf & Turf Taco. Also, try their new agua frescas they have each day. oscarsmexicanseafood.com
SATURDAY ¢ Single Fin Grill [is a] great place to escape all the crazy beach bars and rooftops. Sriracha Shrimp tacos are killer. A good place to watch a game, or four, and good beer on tap always. singlefinsd.com SUNDAY ¢ Firehouse Pacific Beach [has] DJs and an ocean view. Always serving breakfast till 3 p.m., great music, and great drinks. Most of the industry kids end up here to kick off their weekend. firehousepb.com
WEDNESDAY ¢ Bali Hai has great food and mai tais. Abide by their “two drink minimum” for the mai tais or you won't make it to work on Thursday...unless that’s what you are going for. balihairestaurant.com THURSDAY ¢ Thrusters Lounge because the weekend starts on Thursdays in San Diego. Stay for the specialty cocktails. thrusterslounge.com FRIDAY ¢ Turf Supper Club [for] when you just need a good steak and don’t want someone else to make it for you. The food is always good, because you make it, and the drinks are strong AF. turfsupperclub.com
