Señor Grubby's

A corner storefront in Carlsbad Village, blocks from the beach, holds this Mexican spot founded in 2008 by local surfers riffing on breakfast burritos and street tacos. The kitchen runs breakfast through dinner, with a pineapple burrito and vegan chorizo among the regulars, alongside an indoor and outdoor bar pouring seasonal cocktails and house cold brew. A rotating mural on the building's exterior, known locally as the Carlsbad art wall, changes with local artists' work through the year.
