LA Phenom HomeState Bringing Austin-Style Breakfast Tacos to San Diego | Eater San Diego

"Founded by Texas native Briana “Breezy” Valdez, this breakfast taco specialist has four well-loved Los Angeles locations and is opening its first outpost outside the LA region in Oceanside. Valdez, who went to college in Austin and previously worked at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon, builds tacos with pastured eggs and award-winning flour tortillas made from a Valdez family recipe; menu highlights include the Trinity (eggs, Beeler’s bacon, potatoes, and cheddar) and the Blanco (egg-white with shiitake mushrooms and Monterey Jack), alongside Tex‑Mex favorites like migas, Frito pie, and a creamy cheddar queso. The restaurant frequently collaborates with bands and musicians—the current menu features taco creations from Leon Bridges and the Tijuana Panthers—with proceeds going to local charities. Cocktails on offer include margaritas, palomas, and ranch water. The Oceanside spot occupies a renovated 1950s building about 500 steps from the beach in a 2,067-square-foot space with an 816-square-foot patio (formerly a grocery store) and should be up and running before the end of the year, with plans to open additional San Diego locations." - Candice Woo
