- Hi again, it's time to update the Eater 38, your answer and ours to any question that begins, "Can you recommend a restaurant...?" This specially selected group covers much of the city, spans myriad cuisines, and aims to collectively satisfy all of your restaurant needs. Every few of months, we'll be adding worthy restaurants that were omitted, have newly become eligible (restaurants must be open at least six months), or have stepped up their game.
- This curated survey of the San Diego food landscape runs the gamut from the farm-to-table icon, A. R. Valentien in La Jolla to an instant classic, North Park's Carnitas' Snack Shack. There's a good number of Japanese entries (a cuisine that San Diego does pretty well), some neighborhood stalwarts (Urban Solace, Alchemy, Cafe Chloe), and a few gems that you may not have tried (Aqui es Texcoco, Wine Vault & Bistro).
- In this installment, we add in three San Diego eateries that deserve inclusion: Prepkitchen's bustling outpost in Little Italy, the craft beer and food hotspot Tiger!Tiger! and the charming Fathom Bistro, Bait & Tackle perched on a Shelter Island pier.
- Restaurants are listed in no particular order.
