3 Best Restaurants in Barrio Logan, San Diego

One of the oldest restaurants in San Diego, having opened in 1933, Las Cuatros Milpas feels like a closely held secret in Barrio Logan. Open daily until 3 pm, it almost inevitably attracts a big lunchtime rush, though the wait is worth it for the homemade tortillas, beans with chorizo, and rolled tacos. The menu is simple, though everything is delicious, and the interior—with checkered picnic tables—looks like it hasn't changed in 85 years.

A necessary stop for a pick-me-up between boutique shopping, visits to nearby art galleries, and a walk through Chicano Park, Por Vida adds some uniquely Mexican flavor to traditional coffeehouse offerings. Sweeter staples like the horchata latte and dulce de leche latte perk up the taste buds, while in warmer months, a spicy lemonade hits the spot.
