Liberty Public Market, housed in a stunning old Navy building, buzzes with eclectic eateries, craft vendors, and a vibrant, airy atmosphere perfect for culinary adventures.
"San Diego’s first food hall is housed in the city’s former naval training center, a 361-acre site in Point Loma that now features a lively business district with wide lawns, a waterfront park, and historic Spanish Revival–style buildings. Here, vendors serve everything from coconut-curry chicken sausages to ahi tuna poke bowls,providing the makings of a casual lunch or dinner. Take your food to the patio, or sit inside at the high-top tables near the bar and enjoy the untouched murals that line the upper walls. Painted by naval recruits in the 1950s, they depict various vessels, from a late 18th-century sailing ship to a World War II aircraft carrier."

"This market has a daily and weekly rhythm: quiet hours, meal time hustles, the tourist frenzy. When you’re flying solo, any of these moments is perfect. Alone, you can weave through the crowds faster, find seating more easily and make decisions on the fly. Burger, oysters, or beignets? Yes, please. (Dinner seekers, be alerted that it shuts down on the early side — at 7 p.m.)" - Roxana Popescu
"Tortas el Chapulin, whose range of toasted Mexican sandwiches includes roasted adobo pork and chicken milanesa." - Candice Woo
"The Liberty Station food hall has been in the process of welcoming a handful of new tenants lateley, including Landini’s Pizzeria who specializes in thin-crust New York style pizza by the slice, and Peruvian eatery Latin Chef that turns out classic dishes like ceviche de pescado. Another new spot is BOPJO Seoul In A Bowl... Or Tortilla! which translates SoCal Mexican cuisine into rice bowls, tacos, and burritos featuring bulgogi, spicy pork, and tofu. While sushi chef Rob Ruiz’s eagerly anticipated new sustainable hand-roll concept Hold Fast is coming soon." - Keri Bridgwater
