San Diego Restaurants That Are Open on Monday Nights | Eater San Diego

"Kearny Mesa is a bit of a mix of offices and light industry with a few residences in the vicinity. For those in the area looking for something to eat, consider Park Social. Attached to the Vive on the Park apartments, the restaurant serves tacos, avocado toast, grain salads, burgers, and sandwiches at the beginning of the week starting at 7 am." - darlene-horn

This restaurant is a hidden gem! It's located inside an apartment complex area, so it's easy to miss if you don't know about it and parking is a bit tough. The food was amazing and looked incredible also! Both our plates were appealing to our eyes and were such a great meal for brunch and to start our day! The service was great and quick, and there was plenty of seating when we arrived around 10am.

This place has become my favorite restaurant in San Diego so far, considering all factors. We stayed at a nearby Airbnb for a few days, surrounded by upscale new apartments, and this place truly elevated our living experience during the short stay. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus great coffee, craft beers, and even live performances. The outdoor seating area, with its park-like setting, feels relaxing and chill, yet casual enough to take food to-go or just hang out. Every dish I tried was amazing, the salads are fresh, and the main dishes are satisfying for a full day’s meals. It’s rare to find a place so versatile. Their coffee selection is excellent and authentic, and the desserts are delicious. You could easily spend an entire day here—it’s like having a stylish community canteen if you don’t mind the price. The vibe is lively yet cozy, perfect for both hanging out and working. Wi-Fi is decent, and the noise level is acceptable. During my stay, I went there almost every day. The staff is warm and welcoming, the décor is modern and chill, and the whole place feels very inviting for young people and anyone looking for a great spot to relax.

The French toast might be the best French toast I’ve ever had! Their Mexican mocha is good, they use actual chocolate powder instead of syrups. The quesadilla was a good size which we were not expecting. The eggs Benedict with birria were just okay, wouldn’t get them again but the presentation was nice. The cashier was also super friendly and helpful.

I think these might be the best shrimp tacos I’ve ever had 🥲 If you’re staying at the Marriott Courtyard it’s just across the street.

Perfect food, good prices, excellent food, perfect weather, fantastic food! Here is what I had. It was a birria taco and a pepperoni flatbread. Both were delicious (I pealed off a little of the carbs because I’m diabetic. $6 house red 4-6 is a huge bonus! Sat outside on a beautiful Friday evening.

Very nice brunch / breakfast spot, we went there at Sunday lunch time, the line to order food is not that long. We ordered 3 tapas, that is perfect for 2 people. All the foods are nice and tasty. I love the Dirty Fries the most, it’s like a combination of Nachos and Poutine. Calamari is good but too spicy. The drinks are nice, my half sweet Chai is very delicious. The space is bright and clean. I enjoyed the atmosphere.

My friend and I needed a place to eat in Kearny Mesa, and this place looked fun. It's nestled in a big apartment complex, and the free parking spots I saw were all taken so we paid a few bucks to park. My friend got a bowl with shrimp and I got the tacos. Both were really good. The guy helping at the front counter was great! He made us feel super welcomed, and he was super helpful as we were debating between a few menu items.

I had my 1st visit today. I had the crispy spicy chicken sandwich. I'll give it a 2 out of five. It was more bread than protein not a fan @ all. although the French fries were great. Decent service open dining room with a nice Patio . dog friendly. Would I go back ??? Probably not.

Nice place with an outdoor park view located in the middle of a few apartment complexes. They open early for breakfast and it's a bit on the noisy and casual side so great for children. They have a nice beer wall selection and brunch options. Our only drawback here was the server we ordered with at the counter didn't actually know what was going on. We asked for the Park special burger on a sign and they kept asking which "special" we wanted. And apparently there were supposed to be two specials - one was a burger and the other was a soup that wasn't actually on the sign. They realized why we looked so confused and when I ended up asking what soup they had - it turns out they didn't even have it that day. The high chair was also a bit dirty and we couldn't find anyone to help us with extra utensils or ketchup.

Great lunch option near my job. This place has indoor and outdoor seating, variety of options. Very clean and friendly staff. The only downside was that you have to pay for the parking but over all great experience. Will definitely be coming back.

This was the first stop of various eateries my friends and I visited for our food crawl in San Diego. This cafe is located on the ground floor within The Vive Collection (luxury apartments). It's on the corner with the Park Social sign on one side, plenty of outdoor seating following the corner of Ariva Way to Ariva Ct. My friends and I decided to go for breakfast, which turned into brunch time. It's a fast casual cafe, where you order at the counter and self seat yourself or party. We arrived around 11:30 am which was perfect as their brunch menu only runs for a couple of hours. Nice open area with inside and outside seating. I started with one of their specialty lattes, a Lavender Mexican Mocha. It was spiced with what I assume might have been the Abuelita or some kind of Mexican hot chocolate base, there were some gritty bits at the bottom which I actually liked the texture of for the drink. It was chocolatey and creamy with the slightness of lavender. Great option for a caffeine fix. For food we decided to get the Chilaquiles with chicken and green sauce, Breakfast quesadilla with sausage, and the Pork Belly Stuffing (brunch hours only). The Chilaquiles were delicious, savory salsa verde, chips maintained their crunch even in the sauce, with crema and cotija cheese sprinkled on top. The chicken was chopped in pieces and it was also topped with two fried eggs that were supposed to be overeasy, but were definitely cooked all the way through. Other than that a great shareable dish. Breakfast quesadilla was decent, nothing amazing but had what you'd expect, pieces of breakfast sausage, egg and cheese with a hot sauce. The Pork Belly stuffing was delicious, a large strip of thick cut porkbelly topped with what I think was a tomato relish. The stuffing was stacked under a perfectly cooked over easy egg with a sweet and savory gravy around it. There was also a nice apple salad to cut through all the richness and savoriness of the pork belly and stuffing. This was really good and if you're able to go during brunch try it. Overal great food. Service was quick and accomodating though it was weird that it was part self serve and part servers getting things like water and utensils. This is a nice eatery to even if you aren't a resident of the luxury apartments!

These fish tacos are insanely goooood -- crispy, fresh, perfectly seasoned. Probably my favorite in the city at this point. Park Social is tucked into an apartment complex, which is a little obnoxious but it works. It's casual, cool, and the people around are friendly. You feel like you're in on a neighborhood secret. I like to eat at the park across the street. The price is worth it. Parking on the street can be hit or miss, but there's a nearby garage that gives at least an hour free (maybe two), worth it either way. If you haven't been, go. And get the tacos.

I was running an errand on a Saturday morning nearby so I stopped in for a quick breakfast. I happened to stumble onto this place through Yelp. Thank you to my fellow Elites. Upon walking in, the first thing that captured my attention was all of gorgeous natural light coming in from the windows. I placed an order for dine in. I liked that there was a side bar area for water with glasses for 30 taps. I love chilaquiles so when I saw that on the menu, I knew I had to try it. I ordered mine with scrambled eggs and diced chicken along with salsa verde. The tortillas were nice and crispy. It was spicer than expected. Helped to open the sinuses as I was getting over a cold. Tingly on the tongue. The portion was larger than expected so I was unable to finish it. I also got a large iced chai latte with oat milk and it was delicious. You order at the counter and are given a number. My total for the chilaquiles and large iced chai latte was $25 which for a good meal in SD was worth the price to me. Very interesting selection of music. Kind of reminded of being in a club. A little too upbeat and crazy for morning. There are 10 tables of four with two larger tables to fit 8 inside. The outside patio is larger than expected with numerous tables to fit approximately 50. It is located across the street from Centrum Park. With the 30 taps, I could see this place getting packed on a weekend night or on a Sunday morning for a NFL game. There are four televisions inside so this would be a good option to catch a game and grab a bite after work. I could see this being the local hangout spot for all those who live within walking distance. If I lived closer, I would be a frequent visitor.

Located in a very nice area surrounded by apartments. It highkey reminds me of Irvine around this area haha. Parking was tricky to find if you're first time visiting here, but luckily there's a parking structure nearby that offers 1hr free parking. What's better is that, Park Social also validates parking for 3 hours! Definitely makes it more stress free for parking. It's a casual brunch spot where you can order at the cashier and find your own seat. It wasn't too busy so there was enough space for our party of 6. The atmosphere and vibes are nice here, and it's dog friendly! Located right across the dog park and can see all the cute furry friends. So I was debating between a breakfast sandwich and the french toast, since according to Yelp, it seemed like their top recommended item is the French toast. I knew ordering that to myself is gonna make me feel so heavy but.... I stay committed haha. I ended up ordering a French Toast with fruits. My friends ordered a variety of other items, and I spread looked really nice! The orders would gradually come out one by one, so it would take awhile when one person gets it, and there's an awkward time period of time till the next person gets it. Also cause we didn't eat until everyone's food arrived (haha), but we got it all at the end. So I only tried the french toast and I enjoyed how fluffy it was! It was pretty delicious and the fruits were pretty nice with it. It does get a bit tiring just eating this, but it was still pretty good. I tried a bit of my friend's avocado toast and it was very crispy! Generous with avocado. My friend's birria benedict also tasted like the meat was nice and tender. I would say all the entrees were pretty solid, but not mind-blowing. Overall, it's a nice brunch spot that's more quiet away from the downtown city life. The apartment areas make it a lot more nice around here, the park across, the dogs around, definitely a nice vibe.

Cute cafe/coffee/wine shop that was walking distance from my friends townhome. Great location across the way from a park. Very dog friendly. Black coffee and matcha were very good. Happy hour they have dirt cheap birria tacos that are super good!! Would be a regular if I lived nearby.

Solid casual brunch in San Diego. Park in the garage labeled 1 hour free parking (but free for 3 hours with validation from Park Social). Dog friendly patio and indoor space. Lots of alcoholic beverage options, especially beers on tap. A few board & card games available to play. Order at the counter and food is delivered to your table. Nothing outstanding but a nice option in the otherwise limited area for brunch.

Such a great spot to grab a drink. They have a tap and tour system with over 30 beers and kombucha on tap you can try by the oz and pour yourself. They also have so many wine bottles you can buy to drink there or to go starting at $10/ bottle cheapest I have ever seen where you can drink it there, They have board games lots of TVs with sports and trivia once a week. The food is great I love the breakfast quesadilla and ask for a side of sour cream and guacamole. It's dog friendly and the wait staff is so beyond friendly! They check in on you often and happy to grab anything you need. It is seat yourself which I love and a lot of indoor and outdoor seating options. Great to sit outside in the summer.

Very cool spot to grab a bite to eat. Located in an apartment community. You order at the counter and grab a number for your food to be brought out. I got the bacon eggs on a brioche bread. The breakfast sandwich was good. I also got the macha on ice and it was the perfect sweetness I like. Plenty of seating inside and outside. They have TVs with the games on. Parking is validated by the restaurant. 1st hour is free if you just do a pickup. Service was good. They do have bottomless mimosas for $18 a person. Pretty good deal if you live on the property and can walk home.

Food is mediocre, coffee was average, service was good, atmosphere was chill and laid back, and it seemed pretty popular and/or busy. In a nutshell this place was just alright. There is free street parking available. Indoor and outdoor seating. Pastries, drinks, coffee, breakfast, sandwiches, and a variety of food items for purchase. The line was long, but moved fairly quick. The staff were friendly, however didn't know anything about the food and seasonal coffee drink items. I like when they have tried menu items and can give recommendations. I find it helpful when they have insight on what is a popular item or have some knowledge on what tastes good. I ordered the oatmeal cookie latte and the chilaquiles with birria. The latte did not taste anything like a cookie and I couldn't even taste the espresso. It tasted like warm milk and cinnamon. The chilaquiles had a beautiful presentation, however lacked beauty in the flavor. The sauce was bland and was missing something. The birria was juicy, but that too lacked seasoning and flavor. Overall the food and coffee were boring and bland, I feel this place has potential and could do better. I wouldn't be opposed to trying them again, however I'd rather try something new.

My husband and I decided to give this spot a try because the menu looked good and they are dog friendly. We could only find street/paid parking. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Dogs are welcome inside and outside. I love the decor and how open this restaurant is. I tried their pretzel bites and braised pork belly au jus dip sandwich. Both were so good! My husband really enjoyed the crispy chicken sandwich. My friend let me try his fish tacos and those were so good too! It was bursting with delicious flavors. All the other dog owners that were there were very friendly. We had a great time here with our doggie, enjoying the delicious food and beers.

Nice little cafe in an apartment and office area. The service was pretty fast and self serve. They had to go boxes. The breakfast croissant was good. The breakfast burrito was good too

I came across Park Social being featured as a lounge-like eatery and so found myself ordering a late lunch one afternoon. The restaurant was tucked into a little parking loop between residential apartments and has a sunny, open interior. I ordered burgers and fries with my friend and we each decided to try a drink, seeing their brewery-style bar setup and drink options. One of the beers offered was a Julian apple pie seasonal, and from the first sip it was an aromatic, good cider-like flavor, with apple and cinnamon notes coming through. The Expresso martini was also quite good- a little chocolate sauce and a balanced, clear liquer blend made it a good sipper. There are some nice booth/day club style tables and seats by the patio, and I saw another customer with a champagne bucket just chatting over there. Based on the late afternoon vibe, I'm sure this is a good place to come socialize and have some drinks or watch a game after work or early evening. For those who like a relaxed casual vibe with their friends, Park Social might be for you.

Park Social is nestled in a large condo/apartment bldg complex. My niece and I were looking for a nice breakfast restaurant that we hadn't visited before. The quality of the food and the flavor and the quantity all exceeded my expectations. Thank you and I will be a repeat customer.

We came around 12 pm on a Sunday and it was pretty packed with a small line to order. It's very spacious and airy inside with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. It took us 10 mins to order and 10-15 mins for the food to come out. You order at the front and they bring the food to your table. We ordered the French toast with berries and the bacon breakfast sandwich. The French toast was moist and sweet. The sandwich had a good amount of bacon and was crispy and savory. Portions were pretty big and prices were decent. We parked in a structure with 1 hour free parking but they validate parking. I would come back!

My sister and I shared the French toast with berries and breakfast sandwich. Both were pretty good and large portions, and decently priced! Place was pretty bustling Sunday around noon, very airy and spacious with indoor and outdoor dining. They validate parking for 3 hours which is great. Would come back to try their extensive menu!

The food is delicious and the service is great. I may have to come here on my day off and not just order during my work shift. Maybe even have a with a while watching the Padres games. Only downfall, the BLT was too messy although I could see someone else liking it.

I always just assumed Park Social was overpriced, mediocre food since they're located in a luxury apartment complex. Came by recently and was surprised the food was actually decent! I got their fish tacos which came with 3 tacos and some pico de gallo and salsa. They didn't give nearly enough salsa but you can always ask for more. The tacos were good and the breading on the fish was light and crispy. I'll need to come by to try their other savory menu offerings! A few limited parking spots right out front, but most of these were removed recently. You can park for an hour free at the parking structure a little further down, but will have to pay after the initial hour. I've heard they might possibly validate but haven't confirmed for myself. Plenty of indoor and outdoor patio seating. Moderate selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available as well.

Came here with a large party hoping to get a table on a busy Sunday morning and there was plenty of seating available. The chicken sandwich was my favorite item - get it with the sweet potato fries! The burger was just ok in my opinion, and so were the regular fries. Samoa flavored latte was good but way too sweet for my liking. I'd recommend this spot if you want a quick brunch!

QUICK MORNING STOP (3.5 stars) Perfect hidden location. It's in the middle of all these newer development apartment buildings which makes sense to target the residence and a place that can be their local hub. But it's also, open to the public! - FOOD: good - PRICE: affordable - SERVICE: good - AMBIANCE: simple and chill I'm barely ever onsite to work but when I make my "appearance" I like to 1) treat self before going in 2) discover new places to eat near by. Parking can be tough but I dropped in around 10am on a Monday and parking was a breeze. No line, etc. The menu had such a variety it was hard to pick on what and ended up going for "simple" - not trying to have bubble guts while at work. :: ORDER :: (For here! LOL I can be MIA but my work is always 200% done) TOFFEE NUT (DECAF) LATTE ($4) - first and foremost, they serve CAFE MOTTO BEANS!!! My favorite beans in SD - perfect in every way. I ordered a latte but felt as if I got a cappuccino. I never had a toffee nut latte and went for it and asked to have it served in a ceramic mug. When it was delivered, there was no foam art. The amount of foam in that cup was more like a cappuccino. I take it the servers aren't hardcore baristas which is a bummer for serving that quality type of bean. The drink was good but nothing special. The Toffee Nut flavor was super light and the foam was just too much. Also the temperature of the latte wasn't very hot, warm, but not hot. I think the execution of the latte could have been better but it is what it is and it was fine. RECOMMEND 2 EGGS ANY STYLE ($12) - chose bacon and came with two slices of toasted sour dough. I asked for my eggs "over medium" and got over easy. I guess next time I'll ask for "hard boiled" and maybe they'll get it right and give me over medium. This was average and simple - couple slices of bacon, eggs, and bread. Wish there was jam but received very hard butter to try and spread across my toast. RECOMMEND :: SERVICE :: It was fine. Ordered at the counter and delivered to the table in about 10 minutes. Looking forward to trying MANY other items on the menu and picking up my morning beverage here. Until the next review...

Incredibly pleased with this place! Park Social is located within an apartment complex community and a small park. There's paid parking along the street and 1 hour free parking a little bit further down nearby! You order at the front before finding a table. Service was welcoming and fast--excellent! I really appreciated the overall atmosphere here, you can definitely feel the vibe when you walk in. The food and drinks were all tasty as well. I will for sure be coming back here! Definitely recommend for those of you looking for a new breakfast/brunch spot.

When you arrive they don't greet you they just keep chatting amongst each other, I stood there for 2/3 mins I was recommended this place and honestly it wasn't worth it, the chicken wrap with onions and tomatoes was just not good, too vinegary super sour, as I waited for my food I noticed they would ignore other customers and be on their phone and laughing, my food sat there until they got off their phones.

Overall a cute eatery with pretty good food and very reasonable prices for brunch. I want to come back and try some other things on the menu, but I don't live near here (I was only in the area for an oil change) - Fresh berries fench toast ($15): I like my french toast with different layers of sweetness, and the fresh fruit balanced well with the cream, powdered sugar, and syrup. I wish the french toast had the classic custardy center and crisp exterior, but I just drowned everything in maple syrup and didn't notice the "plain-bread" texture as much - Birria quesadilla ($11): Pretty tasty. But I thought the tortilla would have been prepared in the birria taco-style (where tortilla is dipped in the stew and fried to a crisp). Instead the tortilla was soft and the juicy meat just made the tortilla get soggy. - Breakfast burrito ($12): Mostly egg that was oversalted. I see other people's pictures, but mine didn't really have any sausage or potatoes Not sure what the parking situation is for those who do not live here. We walked here from a local shopping center. The apartment campus smells like urine. The ambiance is very open and inviting. However, the chairs are hard and uncomfortable. You open at the counter & someone brings the food to you.

Stopped in for a quick brunch with a girlfriend. Other than the parking situation, everything was great. There's plenty of seating inside and shaded seating outside. Everything on the menu sounded delicious so I settled on the birria tacos. Salsa had good flavor but wasn't too spicy. Washed it down with a light but flavorful strawberry marg with tajin rim. They have a decent sized menu with plenty of offerings for breakfast/brunch and lunch. Due to the location surrounded by several apartment buildings it can get crowded. Both my friend and I had to park pretty far down the road. There were a few spots along the curb right in front but those were full by the time we arrived around noon. We did see some parking garages but I think those may be for residents only, don't quote me tho.

This place has a great vibe! I love how open it is, and the indoor/outdoor seating options are great. We ordered at the counter and grabbed a table. Our drinks arrived fast and our appetizer was out shortly after. The calamari with pepper was an awesome balance of crunch and spice! The tacos we got were all fantastic! The fish tacos were light and fresh. The birria tacos were seasoned well and were very savory! I should have asked if they had any consume. Great service, great drink choices, great food!

Was in San Diego on a Friday and needed a spot to work from when I came across Park Social. Ample tables and puppies! Service is very friendly and they have it set up so that you can basically stay all day. Their wide ranging menu includes breakfast, snacks, coffee, happy hour specials, beer on tap and bottles of wine! Ordered a vanilla latte half sweet and it was perfect. My friend got the match latte full sweetness, which was ofc too sweet (her fault). Lovely place with a lovely vibe. May be returning after lunch to finish some work and will be keeping this bookmarked for future visits!

It's a very cute little establishment, nestled amongst a luxury apartment living area. Lots of big windows for bright lighting, very clean. Looks like there were beers on tap, but we were there for breakfast. The clerk was friendly and helpful. They serve Evrbowls, if you're into fruit/acai, along with a selection of savory breakfast items, French toast, and a display case of desserts. The coffee drinks looked good, and the breakfast sandwich, subbed with a croissant, was warm, crispy, chewy, savory... All the things it needed to be. The parking, if you're there early enough, there are some spots in the driveway, right in front of it, on the paved stone. I enjoyed my visit overall.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm glad we finally got to! We came during happy hour (3-6 everyday) and the prices were really solid for the quality of food and drink! Star of the show were the birria quesadillas for only $10! It tasted so good, we ordered more to take home. I ordered the passion fruit cider, which was also a really great choice. We came for my boyfriend's birthday and the server, Gabriel, was kind enough to give him a slice of tiramisu and a drink on the house! The servers were very accommodating to our large group. The restaurant is located in an interesting place, in the middle of some apartment buildings. However, they have a nice vibe with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The parking is a little hard, but you should be able to find parking on neighboring streets.

Park Social - Great Brunch Spot with Dog-Friendly Vibes and Delicious Food Park Social in Clairemont Mesa is a fantastic place for a laid-back meal with plenty of seating options, both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor patio is especially nice, with comfortable couches, shaded areas, and lots of space, making it a perfect spot to relax. One of the biggest perks is that it's dog-friendly, and being right next to a dog park makes it even more convenient. We were able to let our dog play before coming over to enjoy brunch. What We Ordered: * Birria Eggs Benedict - Absolutely delicious! The tender, flavorful birria paired perfectly with the runny egg. It was beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looked. * Smoked Salmon Bagel - Another hit! The bagel was fresh and loaded with smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, and red onion. The flavors were well-balanced, and the dish was plated nicely. Drinks: * Brown Sugar Cream Cold Brew - Made in-house, and we managed to get the last cups. The coffee had a strong, slightly bitter flavor, which I personally enjoy, but it might not be sweet enough for those who prefer a more dessert-like iced coffee. Atmosphere & Ambiance: The vibe was relaxed and enjoyable, with a mix of jazz and electronic house music playing in the background. The dog-friendly setting, combined with the comfortable outdoor seating and cool music, made it a great place to hang out. Parking: * Parking was a little tricky, which is something to keep in mind if you're visiting during busy hours. However, the location is fantastic, and being right next to the dog park makes it extra convenient for dog owners. Pros: * Plenty of comfortable outdoor seating * Dog-friendly and right next to a dog park * Well-presented and flavorful brunch dishes * Nice mix of music to set a relaxing atmosphere Cons: * Table cleanliness could be improved - ours had some leftover food when we arrived. * Parking can be a bit of a challenge, especially during peak hours. * The cold brew, while fresh, might be too bitter for those who prefer sweeter coffee options. Final Thoughts: Overall, Park Social offers a great brunch experience with delicious food, a fun atmosphere, and a dog-friendly environment that's perfect for pet lovers. The Birria Eggs Benedict and Smoked Salmon Bagel were great, and the location right next to the dog park is a huge plus. While the cold brew and parking had minor drawbacks, the overall experience was fantastic. 4.5/5 stars - we'll definitely be back!

I will be dreaming of the iced vanilla oat milk latte I had here until my next trip!! Their chia pudding was also delicious and light and simple for breakfast. Service wasn't overly friendly, but it was fine for counter service. It's a cute place that wasn't busy mid morning.

Food was mediocre, flavorless, nothing spectacular. Service ok (understandable given it's an order at counter and pay, then sit down place). Best part was the ambiance so I may come back and try something else on the menu. For reference I ordered the chilaquiles with green saucy but asked for red salsa on the side because I couldn't decide. Both were -- the automated words being suggested as I type are 'delicious', 'very', and 'good'. -- Nah bro, put those away...maybe the 'very' followed by NOT 'good'! That works! The End.

Atmosphere 10/10. This restaurant has such nice spots to sit outdoors and also indoors they have board games, drinks on tap, and lots of food options. The servers are super nice and accommodating. The burger I tried, the vive burger, the patty was pretty mediocre, thin and not cooked to a temperature. It was also a bit greasy, not the best quality burger I've had. I added an egg on top which was tasty! The bun was nicely toasted though. The fries were really nice and crisp though and came with a spicy mayo. Lots of sauce options if you ask for it.

I came here on a Sunday with some friends and it actually wasn't that packed! There was some free parking but I ended up having to pay for parking because they were full. I ordered a matcha latte with vanilla and soy milk to drink. That was delicious and not too sweet! I also ordered the chilaquiles with verde salsa and added birria. It was super tasty and a great portion! I actually had to bring some home because I didn't finish it. Overall, I really loved my food and the space was super open and great to bring a group of friends to catch up. I will definitely be coming back!

The 7 of us Cousins (and Spouses) greatly enjoyed dining at Pacfic Social Saturday afternoon. We were celebrating my sturdy Frosh Cousin Brody's Del Norte Nighthawks/JVs come from behind effort to beat Cathedral Catholic's Dons - at the beautiful Cathedral field. Brody boomed a double over the left fielder's head to start the big rally for the Nighthawks. I went in first to secure a table and ordered a Pale Ale - that your team delivered after quickly hooking up a new keg for the pour. Great draft and I also savored your delicious Potstickers, while Brody's Mom Karina loved her Blackened Salmon - which she knew would sustain her on the drive back up to Anaheim. That's where Brody's 5'10" reddish blond/twin sister Kendall was winning the National Freshman Dance title. Great kids - have watched them grow up. Not such a wee cousin anymore - 6'1" rock solid 195 pounds Brody (Egads - that was my size as a High school Senior -when playing ball - looong ago) - starts at Catcher - and he enjoyed your Chicken Tenders? - while his dad Kyle dad had the Braised Short Ribs - which he said were outstanding. My sister had the wonderful Prosciutto flatbread toast - (I had a bite - very tasty) - while my Brother-in-law really liked the Fish Tacos - but I can't remember what my wife had - as she was down at the other end of the table. :) A salad with ??? Anyhow - another great Dining experience with the Cohn Group - and among their other 28? restaurants - we also love Island Prime - and the incredible SD Bay view from adjacent C-Level -- as good as any setting in California? We also take out of town guests with kids to the Corvette Diner in Liberty Station - where the kids love the playing the many games in the Arcade - while Adults can chat freely before dinner arrives. Last but not least - when my wife worked at the Natural History Museum in Balboa Park - many a Friday afternoon Happy Hour were enjoyed at the Prado - where I would always order the magnificent Fried Calamari - reminded me of our San Francisco days. All the Best. Tom Schiff.

Great casual place to come for a lazy, late lunch. Lovely outdoor seating. Ordered at the counter. Friendly service. Nice menu variety, from all day breakfast and tapas to happy hour eats (after 3). Lots of drink choices. Our food was pretty good. Favorite was the chilaquiles with birria. Great for sharing. The burger patty was underwhelming, it lacked flavor. Nice little eatery in a new apartment development.

Hearty bowl and Happy Hour burger were both delish. Place was a tad cold since the large doors were both open. Very informal. Hot mex mocha and cappuccino also tasty! Friendly staff!

Park Social has every component of a good happy hour: comfy seats, cheap drinks, and yummy food! They have an extensive selection of pours for every type of beverage lover. We split the fries, loaded tots, and cheesy artichoke dip. The food came out nice and warm, yummy but not phenomenal. Excited to come for their live music or trivia nights! Pro Tip: They validate parking for the structure next door!

Loving the cookie butter lattes at Park Social. Just tried the pumpkin spice latte and it's super tasty too!! Staff is friendly and neighborhood is walkable.

Not a bad place. Vibes are the highlight, as it is in an apartment complex with open spacing and couches as well. Have their own beer taster where you can fill however much beer you want. Just got the burrito and the fries, both were alright tasted like something I could make at home. Lot of flies though due to the open concept. Otherwise feel like a good place to chill and maybe at night watch games at, lot of TVs

Honestly, the food was great. The service was subpar, what you would expect from a counter service restaurant. What really rubbed me the wrong way was ordering a cold brew with no ice, and having the staff fill it 3/4 of the way. Were those last couple ounces detrimental to the success of the restaurant? I also would've gladly coughed up a few more dollars to have a full drink.
