The California Burrito at Barefoot Bar & Grill is definitely not the biggest in the city, but it may come with the best view.
The big picture: This laid-back restaurant attached to Paradise Point Resort in Mission Bay has surprisingly flavorful dishes and an ambiance that's hard to beat.
Flashback: The restaurant was built with the resort in 1962 and originally sat under a sand dune that could act as a bomb shelter, according to the Union-Tribune.
- The joke was "you could get bombed from the bar but not from the sky."
Fast forward: Now it's a spot where you can go barefoot and take in live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
Dig in: Back to the California Burrito. On a recent visit, I continued our quest to consume this San Diego staple as many times as possible.
- I didn't have our food scale with me, but guarantee this one is much smaller than Salyulitas and, for $25, quite a bit pricier.
- Its flavors are outstanding, defying the stereotype of bland resort food.
Also great are the Chicken Caesar (which I basically always order) and main dishes like the poke bowl, fish tacos and spiced chicken thighs.
If you go: Parking is free in the resort lot, not just for hotel guests.
- Breakfast 7-11am, all day dining 11am-10pm
- Live music Friday and Saturday 6pm
