Food scene
San Diego is known for it’s fresh, local, fish tacos and Oscar’s is one of the original and still the best in our opinion! There are two locations in the neighborhood now and we like the 1st location on Turquoise street for its authenticity, however, the Pacific Beach location is larger and ½ block from the Boardwalk so also a great option.
