Beach bar and grill at 2168 Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores, 92037 — 250 steps from the sand with a come-as-you-are dress code. Shore Rider opened in 2016 as the quintessential post-surf stop, serving à la carte street tacos in a range of fillings: crispy carnitas, chicken tinga, beef machaca, blackened shrimp, Baja fish, and al pastor portabello. The Thruster cocktail — jalapeño, mango, and tequila — is the house signature. Rotating San Diego craft beers on tap, Taco Tuesday specials, and Thursday Pint Night keep the open-air patio busy all week. NFL Sunday Ticket and MLB on screens inside. No reservations, no shoes required.
