Ranch 45
512 Via De La Valle, suite 102, San Diego, CA 92075
Ranch 45 is an unpretentious breakfast and lunch place that is a short drive from the Del Mar beach. But the meat is great here, as it all comes from Brandt Beef in Brawley and is butchered at the restaurant. That means great burgers, carne asada burritos, and a wonderful smoked tri-tip sandwich served with coleslaw and a mustardy BBQ sauce. Also top notch: thick steak-cut fries that are nice and crispy.
