San Diego, California
Hillcrest's tequila-and-margarita Mexican cantina.
Baja Betty's anchors the busiest stretch of University Avenue in Hillcrest, pairing a full Mexican kitchen with a tequila list that runs deep — the margaritas and heavy pours are what regulars come back for. It's part of Mo's Universe, the local group behind Gossip Grill and Hillcrest Brewing, so it sits right in the middle of the gayborhood's bar crawl rather than off to the side. The crowd is mixed and easygoing: brunch tables, after-work drinkers, and a louder weekend night out, with drag and theme nights breaking up the week. Backdoor Betty's, the private room and bar off the back, handles larger groups and birthday parties. Come for Taco Tuesday and the happy hour, stay because it's one of the easiest places in Hillcrest to land a table and still feel like you're in the thick of it.
