Miguel’s Cocina

On our list of the best restaurants with a view in San Diego.

This Miguel's Cocina sits inside Portside Pier, the Brigantine-developed restaurant complex on the Embarcadero that also holds Ketch Grill & Taps, Brigantine on the Bay and Portside Gelato under one roof with a public viewing deck over the water. The Mexican chain, family-owned since 1982, serves its Cali-inspired menu here with the same creamy jalapeño white sauce and handmade tortillas found at its other San Diego locations. Two rooftop bars and the shared boardwalk deck give this location its harbor view.
