"Oscar’s might be across the street from what’s technically the La Jolla border, but it’s on this guide because they make the best tacos around. Go for the smoked fish: chunks of tuna wrapped in a melty layer of cheese are balanced by crisp cabbage, sweet tomatoes, and sharp red onions. The battered fish is also great, and makes a satisfying crunch with every bite. And when it’s hot out, cool off with their ceviche loaded with plump shrimp and slices of white fish drenched in a tangy-and-salty citrus marinade. This laid-back spot has limited seating, so get an order to go and bring a towel over to Tourmaline Surf Park. " - sabrina medora
