About

A block off the Sunset Cliffs bluff trail since 2014, Sunnie's Ocean Beach Mexican Food runs a hybrid coffee-shop and Mexican kitchen built around organic Joshua Tree-roasted beans and three house salsas made daily. The all-day breakfast program — chilaquiles with red or green sauce, build-your-own breakfast burritos with chorizo or carne asada, and Belgian waffles — runs into TJ-style mini tacos and birria for lunch and dinner, a Mexican-cafe scope that overlaps with the tamale-and-taqueria specialization at OB Tamales and Taqueria. The bean program pulls from Joshua Tree Coffee Company in the Mojave, an organic micro-roaster the kitchen pairs with house-pressed iced americanos and Mexican-style aguas frescas. Counter service handles outdoor sidewalk seating with no inside dining room, a quick-bite footprint that runs in parallel with the espresso-and-pastry counter at Newbreak Coffee & Cafe on the cliff side of OB. Custom catering scales from twenty-person taco bars at $20 per head up through 100-plus delivery-and-setup events with three meats, fish or shrimp upgrades, and party trays of rolled tacos, flautas, and quesadillas — the kitchen's largest production work outside the everyday counter.
