Situated in the residential heart of the Coronado District, you won’t readily stumble on low-key little Tuck Shop like you would some of the restaurants along Seventh Street, but this place is worth the detour.

Beyond burgers, […]
Setting foot in Two Hippies Magic Mushroom Burgers is like walking into a ’60s time capsule. It’s a shrine to kitsch, with walls plastered in trippy blacklight posters, vintage toys and lunchboxes tucked into every nook. The pricing is a throwback, too — five bucks will get you a burger, fries, and a drink. The […]
