Coasterra pairs upscale coastal Mexican cuisine with one of the best views in San Diego — a waterfront patio looking straight across the bay at the downtown skyline. It’s further from the property than the neighborhood taco shops on this list, making it better suited to a planned evening out rather than a casual weeknight dinner. The setting makes it a strong choice for a special occasion or simply an evening where the view is as much the point as the meal. Reservations are recommended, especially for sunset seating, which books up quickly.
