30th Street's go-to greasy Mexican food shop that's open 24 hours is a popular fourth meal destination for North Park's eclectic set of bar flies.
It's where the Gaslamp club goers wait in line for $2 slices after the bar scene fizzles at 1:30am. It's also the perfect "if we get separated at the club" meetup spot for out-of-towners or those not so familiar with the Fifth Ave scene.
Famous for freshly grilled burgers and fries after 2am, Nick's is the go-to spot in PB for late-night eats. Be sure to bring your patience with you, as there's often quite a crowd after 1am.
Not into greasy Mexican food? Pizza not your thing? Try the former Golden Dragon in Hillcrest for a Asian-infused feast until 3am.
While serving executives and Mercy hospital employees by day, La Posta's best business comes at night when San Diego's post-party entourages wait haphazardly in line for the stand's solid Mexican grub. The 24-hour, taco shop offers all the staples of a popular late-night spot: Authentic food with low prices, no-frills decor, and double the staff during the wee hours of the morning to keep crowds under control.
This 24-hour diner tucked away in Kearny Mesa serves a bustling lunch-hour crowd by day and hungry night-crawlers after hours.
