It’s not everyday that two of SoCal’s favorite dishes are pitted head-to-head. But we’ll make an exception for UberEATS #FirstFridays – our monthly celebration of San Diego’s tastiest restaurants on UberEATS, featuring irresistible deals. To kick off August, it’s a foodie throwdown to answer the unthinkable question: which is more popular, poke or sandwiches?

This smackdown is sure to be a tight race – expect speedy deliveries, delicious discounts and chefs whipping up their most mouth-watering favorites.

Cast your vote: Simply order an exclusive $5 poke bowl or $5 sandwich on the UberEATS app. Can’t decide between the two? Order both without draining your wallet: To amp up the competition, enjoy $2.99 discounted delivery on any participating #FirstFridays restaurant.

All this competition is bound to work up an appetite! To help you out, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite #FirstFridays picks. Whether you’re a fan of feel-good poke, or dedicated to your fillings nestled between two slices of bread, we have you covered.
