History

Established in 1981, Jake's Del Mar has been a staple in the Del Mar community for decades. It's named after a beloved dog, Jake, who had a passion for the beach and good food. Over the years, Jake's has grown from a simple beach shack to a premier dining destination, all while maintaining its laid-back, beachfront charm.
