Origen is a love letter to the Mexican coast, reimagined with daring flavor and modern flair. Think smoky tuna flautitas, bright shrimp ceviche, and rich, slow-cooked short rib quesadillitas. Behind the bar, mezcal-forward cocktails bring the heat while Agua Santa cools it all down. Set in Hillcrest, this spot captures San Diego’s growing energy as a hub for breezy, design-forward hospitality.
