The Fish tacos here are the BEST! I highly recommend. Their fish burritos and clam chowder are also very delicious. Try a fresh coconut! It's also across the street from the beach!

Great place for Breakfast! It gets a bit busy around 10am so I would recommend getting there earlier.

Their sweet pulled pork tacos are AMAZING (Barbequoa on the menu). You can also try their salads, which are large portions and super yummy.

This is a Vietnamese Pho Noodle Restaurant. Pho is the most popular noodle dish in Vietnam--it's a yummy beef broth with rice noodles and fresh herbs. VERY DELICIOUS!

This is Southern California's largest rock climbing gym! It was created by Chris Sharma, the best climber in the world currently. There's also a very nice yoga studio and full gym equipment.
