The Best Restaurants to Try in Del Mar, California | Eater San Diego

"Part of the Hawaii-based restaurant group that includes Duke’s in Hawaii and California, Jake’s is located practically right on the Del Mar Beach. The enclosed patio terrace gives guests a front-row seat to the Pacific Ocean and Del Mar Beach. Guests enjoy the seaside scenery while diving into dishes like lemon garlic, roasted fish, double lobster tail, or the chef’s burger, paired with Duke’s mai tai or a guava daiquiri. The restaurant is vegetarian-friendly too, with vegan options including trumpet mushrooms on an ancient grain salad. Finish off with the famous decadent hula pie. Look for specials like Mediterranean Mondays, taco Tuesdays, and Waikiki Wednesdays for themed deals." - Helen I. Hwang
