DRESS: Swimsuit Optional PRICE: Cheap EatsĢ230 Shelter Island Dr, San Diego, CA 92106 | (619) 222-1181Īt first Bali Hai might seem a bit kitschy, a tiki bar theme with Hawaiian overtones near the airport in one of the most touristy areas of town, Shelter Island. LOCATION: Various but North Pacific Beach is best. Forget the cleaned up spin off locations in Hillcrest, East Village (downtown) and the now closed Encinitas location, go to the original Turquise St location if you care about an authentic ambiance to go with your local beer and fish tacos. Hot sauce in squirt bottles, marginal service, this is where you come after you are done with the beach and han-gry for local food. The basic fish taco is under $2.50 and for five bucks you can get smoked fish, shrimp and scallops - all in the same taco. It feels authentic, it’s funky, it’s slightly not as clean as you would like (which is bonus points when talking authentic Mexican taco shop), and the tacos are awesomely great.
