Eat Crispy Burger
Hamburger restaurant
👍👍 Absolutely best cheeseburger I've had in San Diego. Period. 10 out of 10.
Crazy fries are stupid good.
Have pastrami that I'll get next time.
Double cheese OG. Gotta start there. The quality of Angus beef comes through.
It's small and mostly outdoor eating with a few bar seats inside but worth it....

Plumeria Vegetarian Encinitas

👍 I’m not vegetarian but I want to check out this place with my wife. Everything tasted pretty good I wasn’t blown away but it was worth of money. Good portion sizes. The Boba didn’t taste the greatest but overall I enjoyed the meal.
