Overview

The Grill House is part of Big Ben's, a grocery outlet at 108 East 8th Street that the San Diego Reader described in 2015 as about 65 years old. A fire in 2013 damaged the property, and the rebuild added a new deck where customers can eat. The Reader framed it as a neighborhood bargain spot, with a three-tacos-for-$4.99 deal and a daily afternoon happy hour featuring 99-cent street tacos.

Carnitas are the house strength. The namesake Big Ben plate pairs a carnitas taco with steak fries topped with cheese and sour cream. The taco list also covers fish and shrimp, adobada and birria, at prices that in 2015 ranged from under two dollars to about three dollars a taco. Prices and offers are from the 2015 report and are likely to have changed.
