    Came here with family and had a great experience. We ordered a pepperoni pizza for my kid, the woodfire oven roasted salmon, and the duroc pork chop — everything was delicious and the portions were really good. The place itself is awesome, we got a table outside and the vibe was perfect. Service was on point too. I had a mezcal drink called “I Love You Beary Much” served in a bear-shaped glass — super fun and actually really good. Shoutout to our waitress Bella, she was great and made the whole experience even better. It looks like they have a menu for dogs, which was a nice touch.

    Food lovers, Taste of Denmark is a restaurant that’s hard to beat. Every bite is packed with flavor—some intense, like the pickled herring open-faced sandwich, and some mild, like the meatball plate. The menu isn’t huge, but I was told they make almost everything from scratch, and it really shows. They know the kitchen and the cuisine inside and out, and every bite is perfection. On top of that, it’s affordable, and the service is both genuine and excellent. If you haven’t already, add this restaurant to your San Diego bucket list—it’s a must-try, right up there with Mexican cuisine.
