"Make Salsa Not War," reads a neon sign inside the Encinitas outpost of City Tacos, a wildly popular fast-casual taqueria chain in San Diego that blends street-style taste with hipster vibes. Tacos form the core of the menu, and the interpretations here are mostly classic with some gourmet twists (think fried leeks and cilantro drizzled strawberries). We love the Borrego (pulled lamb with wild mushrooms), the Chile Relleno (with gooey Oaxacan cheese), and the Birria de Res (inspired by the traditional beef stew)." - Archana Ram
