In-n-Out Burger
The
always a classic destination. With made-to-order staples and a secret menu
we’ve loved since high school, it’s hard to beat the chain’s friendly service
(not to mention those iconic hats). In addition to it’s picture-perfect burgers and French fries — all the more delicious for their just-sliced-this-morning taste — the joint offers milkshakes so epic you’d think they’re straight from a 1950s film reel.
Only problem is, In-n-Out isn’t open 24 hours. But if
you do manage to get yourself though the door before closing time, be sure to
order those fries animal-style — who knew Thousand Island and onions could
induce such euphoria?
Carl’s Jr.
Miramar
Chances are, though, if you’re really pulling a late night
you’ll miss the In-n-Out opportunity-window before hunger really hits you. So
ditch PB and head down Miramar Road to Carl’s Jr. where the milkshakes are
bountiful and the kitchen doesn’t close. Sure, the automated order-takers are
creepy, but with a supremely extensive selection, this fast-food giant is
guaranteed to please your late-night pallet.
Roberto’s
Miramar
Or if you’re not in the mood for burgers, cruise down
Miramar Road a little farther to Roberto’s, for San Diego’s hands-down best
after-hours Mexican food. If you get the easy-going kind of hunger pains, go
with the archetypal carne asada burrito. But don’t worry if you’re more
finicky, the friendly cashiers are down to customize your order — cheese fries
anyone? And not only is Roberto’s delicious; it’s also cheap, which is great
because nothing goes better with a full stomach than a full wallet.
