Secret Food Tours San Diego — Local services in San Diego

I want to give a shout out to Riohn, our tour guide. He was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. He was very personable and easy to converse with. He shared history facts with my husband and I about the Gaslamp area as we walked to various restaurants. He took the time to ask about our food interests and share types of restaurants in the Gaslamp District. Our favorite foods on the tour were the fish taco from Taco Centro, the Impossible Burger from The Melt, and the tasty chicken and vegetable Philipino Lumpias (spring rolls). Although we both love burritos, we did not care for the fries as part of the California burrito. We did however enjoy the well-seasoned and flavorful chicken inside the burrito. The Matcha and Coconut iced drink from Tiger Cafe was just the right amount of sweet and refreshing. We ended the tour with dessert from Cali Cream Homemade Ice Cream.

Better than Sicily! We had a great time on the San Diego food tour. Riohn was a fantastic guide and the effort that Secret Food Tours puts into selecting the restaurants showed.

Also, if I had to do it again, I would skip the upgraded drinks as there is not quite enough time to fully enjoy them.

That said, this is a great way to sample some of the great food SD has to offer and experience a bit of the...

It is so overwhelming to decide where to eat and what to eat when you're in downtown San Diego. Needless to say, I try to go on at least one Secret Food Tour whenever I'm traveling. Richard was our guide and he's a gem with great stories - both personal and relevant fun facts about the places we went to. San Diego has a rich history and the food is phenomenal. I love how culturally diverse the cuisine is and this tour did not disappoint in ensuring that we sampled a bit of everything!! If you're on the fence about going, don't hesitate and book now, I promise that you won't be disappointed and if you're lucky, you will have Richard as your trusty guide! Thanks for a great...
