The best 'fast food' Mexican cuisine in town. You are pulled in by the $1.09 fish tacos and keep coming back for the amazing tacos and burritos. A local favorite.

Best doughnuts in town. Opens early and closes early. Usually a line to get in the door but the service is excellent. Take a dozen home or enjoy them on the patio and see and smell the ocean.

Enjoy healthy fare on the ocean view deck. In the winter you may even catch a glimpse of a whale or two migrating to Mexico. In the summer you can watch surfers and, if you're lucky, you might catch a pod of dolphins playing in the water.

You can't skip the beach when you visit Cardiff by the Sea. Grab a beach chair and a boogie board and spend the afternoon listening to the waves and playing in the Pacific Ocean. Great for beach walks and watching surfers. Heck, you might even want to try giving surfing a shot. Local surfer Rob Machado surs these waves and still lives here.
