5. American Breakfast at Great Maple

The great maple in 1451 Washington Street is a perfect place for breakfast. Great Maple has a varied menu and all is high quality food. The typical breakfast contains eggs and bacon – it is really good. The only disadvantage is that the breakfast at this place is expensive, but if you only go once, it is definitely worth it.

4. IN-N-OUT Burger

The second best burger you can eat in San Diego is an IN-N-OUT-Burger. The burger is really good and the price is unbeatable. For only 3.30$ you get a “Double-Double” (double meat/double cheese). There are a few IN-N-OUT-Burger in San Diego, one is at 4375 Kearny Mesa Rd.

3. Taco in Tijuana

Although many bars in San Diego say that they have the best tacos, the absolute best tacos you can only eat in Mexico. The most important ingredient of a taco, in my opinion, is the tortilla. Self-made they are much more delicious than the ones you can buy in a grocery store. Secondly, the meat or the fish should be fresh and not too dry. This taco I ate in a restaurant at the Playas de Tijuana. Since I ate tacos in three different places in Tijuana, I can say that all of them were very delicious. Also, the price for a taco is very moderate, you pay between $1 and $3 for a taco.

2. Hodad´s

Hodad´s has been making burgers since 1969. They only use great ingredients for their burgers like the best bacon, great buns, fresh tomatoes, crispy lettuce and handmade ketchup.
Because Hodad´s is that famous, you have to wait until you get a seat. The wait is really long. We came on a Friday around 4pm, waited around 20 minutes and got our seats. I would suggest, not going there during 11am to 2 pm, because there was always a huge line. But it is worth it. The service and the burgers are awesome! In this picture you see a double cheeseburger with bacon. It is the heaviest burger I have ever held in my hands. You get this burger for 11.74$ including fries. This is actually not only the best burger in San Diego, it is the best burger I ever had in my life. If you still not have enough, their chocolate shakes are also amazing.

1. Self-made Turkey (Thanksgiving)

If you are in the USA on Thanksgiving, you have to have your own turkey! There are many recipes on the internet. We decided to stuff our turkey with celery, onions, mushrooms, bread and walnuts. The turkey took six hours in the oven and was delicious.
