Death By Tequila

Best Mexican Food in San Diego | Condé Nast Traveler

"Inspired by his location—blocks from one of Southern California's best stretches of beach and a short drive from Mexico’s Baja peninsula —“Top Chef” alum Angelo Sosa has created a coastal-cool vibe of tacos, tostadas, and ceviche that combine local produce and seafood. And in a city where $1 tacos and no-frills burritos have ruled for decades, his approach to modern Mexican with quality ingredients is long overdue. But Sosa, a former East Coaster, isn’t trying to disrupt a community as tight-knit as Encinitas. On Death By Tequila’s website they proudly state all the local vendors they’ve partnered with, from the farms where he sources produce to the ceramic maker who crafted the plates and leatherworker who made the menu covers." - Archana Ram
