BEST BURGER IN SAN DIEGO? - The Friendly Tavern in North Park Food Review

San Diego Burgers - Trying The Friendly Tavern in North Park and the OG Flat Top Burger Food Review.
Jaycation drops into a dive that used to be Carnita's Snack Shack to try the locally famous OG Flat Top Burger at the Friendly Tavern. The Friendly Tavern is also home to the "Purple Drank" an Ube cocktail. We grab the cheeseburgers for take out and head to nearby Morley Field to try out and rate these burgers!

    Hey! I love burgers and I haven't tried them all. If I can make a recommendation, my favorite burger at the moment is @ "The Draft" in oceanside. This is excluding any chain burger spots because I love my IN & Out. Also I do love Hodads, but since I live in North County and don't want to drive miles away. The "Draft" burger is my jam. Never disappointed me. FYI, did you know you still had the label/stickers on your tshirt? lmao. I have another spot a little north of San Marcos. I will let you know only if you ask lol.

    @@Jaycation I would have to say the Mexican restaurants there are my fav tbh. When I was there for the weekend thats pretty much what my girlfriends and I had. We have mexican restaurants here in Vancouver but they’re okay something about the Mexican food in SD it’s just way more flavoured and authentic. BUT we went to this place called “World Famous” or something on pacific beach and I remember having this Cali or the famous burger and that was pretty good! But I think my all time favourites would be the taco shops 😋. “The taco stand” in La Jolla was my favourite! Best Baja fish tacos! Also this place called “tacos el gordo”. An uber driver recommended that as we wanted to try authentic tacos so he took us there lol and it was really good too! But the next time I come down there I’ll have to try more of the burger joints 🙃.

    It's the best Smash/flat top burger in San Diego, and probably the only one in San Diego. Los Angeles has 3 smash burger spots that I know of, "Burgers Never Say Die" in SIlver Lake, "Goldburger" in Highland Park, and "Easy Street" burgers in East Hollywood. Best regular burger in San Diego to me is still Balboa Bar and Grill.
