San Diego’s Best Burgers | Eater San Diego

"A hidden gem hiding in plain sight that you’ll find while going up Bankers Hill on Fifth Avenue, the Balboa stands out for its friendly service, unassuming ambiance, and highly coveted burger. The restaurant’s well-loved Original Balboa burger features the restaurant’s zesty aioli along with lettuce, tomato, American cheese, and onions on a brioche bun — all priced under $12. Pair with a brew or a cocktail, like the Balboa with Henebery whiskey, honey syrup, lemon and sarsaparilla bitters. Best to go: On Monday, happy hour runs from open to close (4 p.m. to 10 p.m.), which means that the OG burger goes for $8 a pop." - Roxana Becerril
