Bottled water is included with this tour.Our Tasting tour was designed by a Third Generation San Diegan who has a real Passion for food and wanted to share these hometown restaurants with guests visiting San Diego.
When Annette goes on vacation she always looks for those local family owned restaurants to go eat at, they tend to have great food. She even tries to get the recipes so she can make when she comes home.
This is why Annette created started A Taste of San Diego, to give San Diego guests that opportunity to visit and eat at San Diego's hometown local hidden treasures and to see a bit more of America’s Finest City.
We will go inside some places where we can sit taste for a brief time. Guests are welcome to go inside each restaurant and look around see the history of each place. We will need to stay on a schedule and cannot stay at one place too long or we may have to miss a stop to get back on time.
Some of our stops you can purchase food items and we encourage our guests to do so if we have the time.
Our Food Tasting includes a variety of meats (Beef, Chicken, Pork and Fish) and we cannot alter the menu too much for vegetarians at this time.
If you have food restrictions or allergies please let us know when you are booking your tour. We can make a slight change on a few menu items if needed. We cannot guarantee that our food tasting items are kosher.
For Children coming on the tour, we do not offer a discounted price because the amount of food does not change for a child versus an adult. If a child is not going to participate in the tasting then there will be no charge since no food will be purchased for them. If a child is going to participate in the tasting tour you will need to purchase a ticket for the tour. Please make a note when you make your reservations on line, in the guest and pick up box.
On our Tasting Tour you will not only taste great food you will see some great sites of Americas Finest City also.
We look forward to taking you on one of our Tasting Tours!
