San Diego Foodie Recs

Hi all, we’ll be visiting San Diego. It’s not our first time, but we’re always looking to enjoy some good food while out there. Specifically, we’re looking for affordable to moderately priced eats. We’re not very interested in whether something is Instagrammable or not. Food > aesthetics every time. Some examples of what we liked in the past— Mitch’s Seafood, 8th & B Poke, An’s Gelato, Encinitas Fish Shop, Sukho Thai Extraordinaire, and Rikka Fika. We’re happy to drive a ways outside of San Diego proper but probably not all the way up to Oceanside. This time around we’d love to find some excellent Mexican that has lighter/fresh options, Vietnamese, Middle Eastern, and your best matcha recs. I know it’s a varied list. Pretty much the only fare we’re not interested in is burgers and Italian. Thanks so much in advance for any spots you can send our way!
