Chefs from Michelin-Star Kitchens Reshape Oceanside’s Restaurant Scene | Eater San Diego

"Opened in 2021 on the ground floor of Oceanside’s Mission Pacific Beach Resort facing the pier, this modern Mexican restaurant delivers an eight-course tasting menu where chef Roberto Alcocer reinterprets Baja cuisine—Mexican cooking with an emphasis on fresh seafood, influences from Japan and the Mediterranean, and grilled and wood-fire preparations. Alcocer riffs on tamales, incorporates sourdough into tortillas, and honors traditions with upscale takes on barbacoa and carne asada, pairing courses with Mexican wine from Valle de Guadalupe, including vintages from his own winery. Oceanside earned its first Michelin star in 2023 with this spot, and highlights include cangrejo (a crab, mushroom, and radish-topped tostada) alongside pristine seared fish." - Noah Lederman
