Dulzura is one of the more rural areas that surrounds San Diego, with a very tiny population of just about 700 residents. There aren't many bars and restaurants within the city, so if you're visiting the area and you want to find some great food or entertainment, you'll most likely head over to nearby Chula Vista. On this page you'll find our highest recommendations for great food and drink in the Dulzura (91917) and Chula Vista (91909, 91910, 91911, 91912, 91913, 91914, 91915, 91921) zip codes. Barrett Junction Cafe is a great combination of a biker bar, barbecue restaurant, and live entertainment space. We love going here to enjoy some ribs, some delicious beer, and the live music on the weekends! They've got a very large dining room and an outside patio so you can enjoy the breeze while you're noshing on all the great fare that they serve here. You can find Barrett Junction Cafe on Barrett Lake Road near the intersection with California 94. Dulzura Cafe is such a wonderful place to stop in for a great breakfast or a really refreshing lunch. It's located just off Highway 94, so you can head in off that dusty road and enjoy the scenic views in this area. We love their Carne Asada Tacos, and of course their famous burgers!

You'll enjoy the finest seafood and steaks right here in a very elegant atmosphere, and if you like to have a few cocktails with your dinner you'll really enjoy that full bar.

They've got the best, and we mean THE BEST, deep dish pizza that you will find in Southern California. It's incredible. So thick, with such a flavorful crust, and such an incredible amount of toppings and cheese stuffed in it... It's one of the most crave-worthy dishes we can think of, and we can't get enough! You can come in to catch the game on one of their many televisions too! You will find BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse in Chula Vista on Broadway near the intersection with I Street. |
