Where Selena Gomez Eats, and Why You Should Too

By Brady Jonas

Tracking the favorite restaurants of Selena Gomez is like following the breadcrumbs of someone who knows exactly what she wants from life—and dinner. So here’s where Seli eats, and what makes each place worth a visit.

1. Girl & the Goat, Los Angeles

Selena teamed up with Chef Stephanie Izard to explore Girl & the Goat’s bold, globally inspired menu. Think goat empanadas and miso-butterscotch sundaes. The place has an open kitchen and a vibe that says “we don’t need to try hard,” which is the ultimate flex for a restaurant that’s always booked.

2. Sushi Park, West Hollywood

In October 2023, Gomez was spotted here with Taylor Swift, and I can only imagine them swapping inside jokes over pristine nigiri. Sushi Park is an unmarked, strip-mall gem serving omakase that’s as quiet and unassuming as the Sunset Strip is loud. If you’re not ready to drop three digits on dinner, stay home with a California roll. But if you’re game, you’ll see why this spot lures in celebrities who want quality sushi and no paparazzi.

3. Lemon Grove, Hollywood

Lemon Grove is a rooftop spot that’s pure Hollywood: lush greenery, sunset views, and dishes that lean avant-garde. Selena once froze blackberries in liquid nitrogen here for her show. The result? A smoky berry you’ll never recreate in your kitchen, no matter how much dry ice you buy at the grocery store.

4. Chili's Grill & Bar

Selena has publicly declared her love for Chili’s queso and chips, which are, honestly, their crown jewels. She’s proof that even A-listers enjoy a bowl of melted cheese that’s 80 percent oil. Chili’s is where you go when you want a margarita the size of your head and a little nostalgia sprinkled with sodium.

5. Moo’s, Lincoln Heights

Moo’s Craft Barbecue is where Selena learned to smoke brisket, and it might just ruin you for all other barbecue. The restaurant is casual, with paper towels on every table because things are about to get messy. The brisket? Smoky, tender, and worth the line that usually snakes out the door.

6. Jack in the Box

This is where Selena occasionally satisfies her cravings: Jack in the Box. Her order is ambitious—two tacos, egg rolls, curly fries, and a chicken sandwich. A culinary balance of salty, crispy, and greasy. I revisited a Jack in the Box to try it out myself, and while the egg rolls felt like a fast-food fever dream, the tacos? Surprisingly decent. Selena has the late-night munchies mastered.

7. CUT, Beverly Hills

Selena didn’t just dine at CUT by Wolfgang Puck; she stepped behind the line to learn from the legendary Puck himself for her cooking series (yeah, that picture above). The restaurant is Michelin-starred, yes, but also deeply sleek—think mirrored walls and leather chairs. It’s where you order the bone-in ribeye and wonder if the chef can teach you how to sear meat like that at home (spoiler: he can’t).

8. Alta Adams, West Adams

Selena explored soulful cooking at Alta Adams, learning from Chef Keith Corbin, who specializes in oxtails and cornbread. It’s the kind of food that makes you close your eyes while you eat it—simple, heartfelt, and endlessly satisfying. If I had to pick one place from this list for my last meal, it’d be Alta Adams.

9. Famiglia Pizzeria, Times Square

This is the Times Square pizza joint where Gomez stopped for a slice while filming in New York. Famiglia’s pizza is unapologetically greasy, with cheese that stretches longer than a rom-com meet-cute. It’s not fancy, but it’s reliable—just like Selena’s taste in comfort food.

10. Theo’s, Grand Prairie

In Selena’s hometown of Grand Prairie, Theo’s Drive-In is a small-town spot that serves hearty, no-frills American fare. Selena paid a visit here and left her autograph on the wall, cementing her status as the local hero who hasn’t forgotten her roots. The menu leans classic—think burgers, chicken-fried steak, and pies that taste like they came straight out of your grandmother’s oven. It’s the kind of place where regulars know each other’s orders, and a signed photo of Selena Gomez fits right in among the memorabilia.
