“I loved the food. We got a pizza and I ordered the meatball sandwich. My only negative was that I asked for a container to take home the half of the sandwich I didn't eat. The server brought a container and then picked up my sandwich and put it in the container. Bare hands. No longer was I going to eat that sandwich.so to the servers...don't touch the customers food with with your hands.“

“This little spot was fantastic! Truly some of the best food I've had in SD. I ordered the Godzilla hot dog, my husband got the Pastrami Tsunami, and we shared the pierogi plus grabbed a couple beers. The service was friendly and super fast. The food was fresh, and I think the sign said they make their own sausages. The sausage was phenomenal: flavorful, spicy without being overbearing, and seemed lean (no squishy, fatty deposits). The food, although very comfort forward, didn't leave us feeling heavy. The seating is all outdoor at little patio style tables just down from a little fishing pier and next to The Rady Shell. This is now one of my favorite spots; looking forward to going back.“

“Craft beer places are a dime a dozen in SD, but I knew after one visit that Machete is easily going to become a favorite water hole to visit when I am in the mood for a good variety of craft beer. They have a bunch of different styles, and a selection of beers from breweries that I either haven't heard of or never tasted before. Love that. It gets boring seeing the same 3-4 breweries at every place that offers craft beer in SD.Vibe is super chill, casual and divey.Staff here is really nice. I didn't get his name, but he let me try a few different beers and gave great recommendations based on the styles I like.No food here, but the Papi’s Teppanyaki food truck is here from time to time. Check their IG for their schedule. Not sure if there are ever other options since I only recently found out about this place.Cheers!Edit: I came back a second time and the super cool bartender's name is Jett. If you come in on a day he's manning the bar, you're in great hands. :)

Kid-friendliness: There was a young family here with a stroller, but it wouldn't be my first choice for places to visit with kids.“

“Congratulations, you just found the best Filipino restaurant and bar in San Diego!

The service is so warm. Jeff runs the bar and will take your order. Good non alcohol drink selection - I got the Calamansi Cooler which was perfectly bright and refreshing. Recommend

But what really got my attention was the Corned beef & onions on the menu. This dish is not a restaurant thing. That is like a legit Pinoy home style thing you eat at home on the couch. Truly great to see in the wild. I got this and subbed steamed rice for garlic rice.

But honestly it's mostly the hospitality from Jeff. The Filipino love is real. And, if you have never eaten Filipino food, GLF is probably the best place to start.“

Weekends are busy yet we were able to get a table to enjoy the cold beverage enjoying the autumn sun. They play live music in the afternoons making the place to visit and enjoy time with family and friends.
Free street parking is available a short walk away but can be hard to find at times. A must visit destination on your next trip to San Diego.“
