"Got more than my money's worth. Great variety of food"


Welcome to San Diego’s First and Original Food Tour.  Our Food Tours are all about the food that San Diego’s restaurants have to offer.  We want to take you off the Beaten Path and show you what America’s Finest City has to offer you.

We don’t claim to be a city tour or a history tour; we are Truly a Food Tour! If you have a Passion for food, think of yourself as a foodie, like trying new things and are adventurous then this is the food tour for you!  Just a warning, do not eat before any of our tours because you get more than a meal on our tours.

On our food tours, you will be introduced to some of San Diego's oldest, authentic, hole in the wall, family owned and neighborhood favorites that only most locals may know about. This is not "designer food" but True San Diego "hometown cooking". Let us introduce you to some of San Diego's hidden treasures in different communities.  We have a mix of new and old. Some of these establishments have been around since the 30's! Once you sample their food, you will know why.

Satisfy both your craving for good food and your curiosity about San Diego with A Taste of San Diego, a food tour you will be sure to enjoy. Come hungry because on all of our tasting tours you will try a variety of Specialties from 5 to 8 places depending on the tour you choose and the time.  No one walks away hungry on our tours.  We have been told that over and over again and that is our goal!
