  1. 1

    Valle

    Oceanside

    Chef Roberto Alcocer's Baja-rooted tasting menu at the Mission Pacific Hotel — Michelin-starred in 2023 and 2024, the only Mexican Michelin star in Southern California.

  2. 2

    Fonda Del Barrio

    Barrio Logan

    The Infatuation's hacienda-style pick from the City Tacos team — the chile en nogada and annatto-spiced Tikin Xic anchor a regional Mexican menu.

  3. 3

    Tacos El Gordo

    Chula Vista

    The Infatuation calls it 'the closest thing to actually going to Tijuana for street tacos' — late-night adobada and suadero on handmade tortillas.

  4. 4

    Aqui Es Texcoco

    Chula Vista

    The Infatuation's lamb-barbacoa specialist — Texcoco-style pit-roasted lamb, quesatacos, and house consommé in the South Bay.

  5. 5

    El Carrito Restaurant

    Barrio Logan

    The Infatuation and San Diego Magazine's Barrio Logan classic — chilaquiles divorciados inside a 1914 trolley car one block from Chicano Park.
