Try The Lobster Margaritas at Gringo's in San Diego

Where: 4474 Mission Blvd. [map], San Diego, CA, United States, 92109

Trying to find the best Mexican restaurant in San Diego is as hard as finding the perfect pizzeria in New York. But what sets Gringo's Cocina Y Cantina apart from the other Mexican eateries (aside from its awkward un-P.C. name) is its location, just a block away from the ocean. The Pacific Beach restaurant has a following among surfers and beach bums, who all retreat there after a long day of hitting the waves to warm up next to the big outdoor fire pit and get some good grub.

Gringo's is also a popular place to chillax or celebrate with friends, as it trades the schlocky overdone decor of most Mexican fast-food joints for a more upscale, warm setting. Plus, there are those big-as-your-head, 26-ounce "Gigante" margaritas that come in fun flavors like Frida Rita (Cazadores Reposado, triple sec and pomegranate juice) and Melonita (1800 Silver, melon liqueur and a splash of orange juice) that make any gathering a great time.
