1. Morning Glory, San Diego

Morning Glory - Food

Breakfast and brunch with an attitude in an art-déco-inspired eatery. Patrons often stay longer than planned to enjoy one (or more) of Morning Glory's artisanal coffees. Eclectic is an overused word; however, it fits the bill perfectly.

Family-run spot specializing in Tijuana-style birria de res – slow-cooked beef stew served with tortillas for dipping. Expect a line at the order window; the kitchen often sells out well before its afternoon close.
