The 6 Must-Try Foods in San Diego That You’ll Miss the Moment

1️⃣ Bobboi Natural Gelato Every trip to La Jolla isn’t complete without checking their Today’s Special Flavor! Authentic Italian gelato with an incredibly smooth texture. Perfect after watching the seals — definitely a sweet SD ritual. 2️⃣ Tacos El Gordo No explanation needed — a legendary SD essential 🌮 I even recommend it to friends visiting Vegas! My go-to: beef tongue on a corn tortilla — tender meat, chewy taco, amazing sauces. 3️⃣ OMOMO Yes, it’s famous in Irvine — but we have it in SD too! If you haven’t tried OMOMO, we can’t be friends 😌 Every drink is a hit — somehow pleases both international students and local tastes! 4️⃣ Hinar A café that makes absolutely gorgeous mini cakes 🍰 Not just pretty — they’re delicious and not overly sweet. Korean-inspired, cozy interior with study-friendly seating. Quiet, clean, and easy parking. 5️⃣ Spill The Beans Quirky, fun décor and plenty of seating — great for studying! Solid drinks, good prices, plus they sell cute merch ☕🛍️ 6️⃣ Yokohama Yakitori Koubou Arguably SD’s most popular yakitori spot — expect a wait, but it’s worth it! Compared to LA or NYC sky-high prices, this is a steal — ~$50 to get full, with a wide variety of skewers to choose from 🍢 #SDMustEat #SanDiegoFood #UCSD #EatSD #StudyAbroadEats #SanDiegoLife #BobaSD #Gelato
