Small Mexican market with awesome taqueria. The burritos are arguably the best in the area and are under $5. They also have a great meat counter.

Very touristy and the foods only okay but big portions and they often have live music. You can also eat outside and walk down to the beach. Sit at the bar and eat oysters and fire-roasted artichokes.

Great little winery owned by my friend Denis Hoey. You can stop by for tastings and chat with him or his dad. My favorites are the Syrah and Grenache.

Brewery tap room and you can order food from Kelly's bakery next door. Get the cheeseburger and fries and a Dread Brown Ale. We get all their grain and feed it to our animals at the farm!

Nice little brewery that just opened up. They're open in the evenings at the end of the week and the weekend. There's usually a food truck parked outside to satisfy the munchies.
