Ocean Beach's food scene is about to get even more exciting.

Three new businesses are preparing to open along Newport Avenue, bringing everything from authentic street tacos and beach pizza to premium Japanese matcha. Whether you're a longtime OB local or just love discovering new places to eat, these upcoming openings are worth keeping on your radar.

Here's a look at what's coming to Ocean Beach.

Chula Tacos

One of San Diego's favorite taco shops is making its way to Ocean Beach.

Chula Tacos has earned a loyal following for its authentic Tijuana-style street tacos, fresh ingredients, handmade tortillas, and bold flavors. After growing from a popular food truck into a well-known local favorite, they're now opening a new location at 4994 Newport Avenue, the former home of Doughboy's Grill.

Guests can look forward to favorites like carne asada, adobada, birria, quesadillas, burritos, and an assortment of fresh salsas. If you're a taco fan, this is one opening you won't want to miss.

Drink182

One of the most anticipated newcomers to Newport Avenue is Drink182, a unique concept that blends beach-friendly food with a healthy dose of pop-punk attitude.

The name is a fun nod to the pop-punk era made famous by Blink-182, and it fits perfectly with Ocean Beach's laid-back, music-loving culture.

Pizza lovers will be able to enjoy Beach Pizza by the slice. Whether you're heading to the beach, watching the sunset, or grabbing dinner on the go, it looks like an easy and convenient stop.

For those with a sweet tooth, Drink182 will also feature Punk Rock Cake Pops, adding a playful dessert that's sure to catch people's attention.

The menu will also include Honey Turkey Drunkables and Honey Ham Drunkables to go, giving customers another quick and convenient meal option.

With pizza, desserts, portable meal choices, and a fun music-inspired vibe, Drink182 is shaping up to be one of the most unique additions to Ocean Beach's dining scene.

Kyoto Coast Matcha

If matcha is your drink of choice, you'll soon have a new favorite destination in Ocean Beach.

Kyoto Coast Matcha is bringing its premium Japanese matcha experience to Newport Avenue, expanding its growing presence in San Diego.

The café specializes in ceremonial-grade matcha, handcrafted beverages, and creative seasonal drinks made with high-quality ingredients. Whether you're already a matcha enthusiast or simply looking for an alternative to coffee, Kyoto Coast Matcha promises to add something fresh and unique to the neighborhood.

Its arrival also adds another specialty beverage option to Ocean Beach's growing collection of locally owned cafés and drink shops.
