The 38 Restaurants in San Diego You Have to Try!

How many times have you been asked can you recommend a restaurant?  This question is asked by millions of people everyday.  San Diego Eater now has your answer.  The Eater 38 will give you a list of great restaurants to pick and choose from in the San Diego area.  New restaurants will be added to the list as voted by readers in the months ahead.  Keep reading to find out more and check out the list for the restaurant that you want to try.

Introducing the Eater 38, your answer and ours to any question that begins, "Can you recommend a restaurant...?" This specially selected group covers much of the city, spans myriad cuisines, and aims to collectively satisfy all of your restaurant needs. Every couple of months, we'll be adding worthy restaurants that were omitted, have newly become eligible (restaurants must be open at least six months), or have stepped up their game.

The first installment in this survey of the San Diego food landscape runs the gamut from the farm-to-table icon, A. R. Valentien in La Jolla to Mariscos El Pescador, a fish taco truck in a Chula Vista parking lot. There's a good number of Japanese and Mexican entries (two cuisines that San Diego does pretty well), some standby's (Tender Greens, Cafe Chloe), a new instant classic (Carnitas' Snack Shack) and a few gems that you may not have tried yet (Wine Vault & Bistro, Aqui es Texcoco).
