La Especial Norte, Encinitas

This restaurant may not appear inviting from the outside, but it is a long-standing favorite among local customers seeking scrumptious Mexican cuisine. Located just minutes away from the Pacific Ocean, the family-run establishment offers friendly service and an upbeat atmosphere. Of course, most customers return simply for one reason-the delicious, mouth-watering soups. A full bar accompanies a long list of homemade, Mexican soup specialties. Traditional Mexican entrees are offered as well.
