So, where can you go to get the best Mexican food in San Diego on your trip? While it is obviously a subjective issue, few would argue with La Especial Norte in Leucadia. Leucadia is located on the coast in what is known as the north county of San Diego. It is between Carlsbad and Encinitas, about five minutes north of Del Mar.
Regardless, La Especial is very authentic. The food is tremendous, but the specialty of the house is the soup. Many a San Diegan has driven for 30 minutes or more to get the Chicken Soup when faced with the flu. It is a guaranteed cure. The Tortilla Soup with melted cheese is also a swooner. Overall, there are 16 different soups on the menu at La Especial. You really can't go wrong with any of them.
A quick note for those in a hurry. La Especial is very authentic and the pace of things in the restaurant is slow. It may be half an hour before you see the waiter after ordering. If you are in a rush, this is not the place for you. If you have time, it is!
