On our Secret Food Tour: San Diego, you’ll explore the Historic Gaslamp Quarter, where the flavors of Mexico, California, and beyond come together in one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Guided by a local food expert, you’ll sample iconic dishes while uncovering the stories that shaped Southern California’s unique food culture.
Your tour begins at the Balboa Theater, an emblem of San Diego’s historic downtown. From there, we’ll dive straight into the diverse influences that define the region, starting with Filipino Lumpia, a crispy, flavor-packed roll that reflects the melting pot of Southern California.
Next, bite into a California Meltburger, a juicy local twist on a classic. Then it’s time for a Baja highlight: the San Diego fish taco, fresh and bursting with coastal flavors.
We’ll pause for a uniquely crafted specialty coffee, just like the locals enjoy, before indulging in the legendary California Burrito, a San Diego invention that perfectly captures the city’s flair.
As always, the experience ends with our delicious Secret Dish, revealed only on the day.
Upgrade your experience with our Drinks Package, including a refreshing Paloma cocktail, California house wine, and a locally brewed beer.
By the end of your tour, you’ll not only be full but will also have discovered why San Diego’s food culture is one of the most exciting in the U.S.
