Great food and fun experience - This was so much fun! Blerta was fantastic. She was knowledgeable and presented the history and information so well. The food was great and so were the drinks. The portions were bigger than we expected. Overall, it was a great experience and we want to do other tours with this company an Blerta as well!

So much fun! Blerta was awesome! - This was so much fun and a cool way to see San Diego! The food was great and I loved that we had enough time at each place to sit down and enjoy it! Sometimes on food tours you eat while standing and walking but it was nice to sit and take it all it. Blerta was so great! She made sure to ask us all our favorite food and then give a local recommendation to try for that food. Would highly recommend. Come hungry it’s a lot of food!!

So much fun..... - This was by far, one of the best tours I've been on. We all came from different parts of the US and the energy was on fire...LOL!!! Our tour guide "Benedict" was professional, fun and made sure we had a good time. There was a little disruption from some "local talent"..lol, but Benedict never broke his stride in keep his cool....hats off to him. I would definitely recommend doing this tour...oh and the food & drinks were on point too...especially at "Fred's" Taqueria.

Good for a chill night - Our tour guide Magda was very nice and fun. There were two restaurants and a couple food stalls. The first restaurant had an extremely watered down lime margarita but an awesome carnitas taco. The second restaurant had a really mid unflavored fish taco but an awesome margarita. The elote was very good and the churro wasn’t as good without the chocolate sauce. Overall, good sightseeing but the food wasn’t anything to remember and very okay.
