San Diego Gaslamp Quarter Guided Food Tour
Overview
Eat your way through San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter in two hours: pork, chicken and veggie lumpia, a Baja fish taco, a cheesy Meltburger and homemade ice cream. Four stops, enough for lunch, max 15 guests, with local history between every bite.
Each stop tells part of how San Diego came to eat the way it does. Navy service brought Filipino families here, and today Filipino Americans are the city’s largest Asian American group. The border put tacos at the center of the city’s food.
Between stops, your guide covers the Gaslamp’s past, from its rowdy Stingaree days to the restored Victorian blocks you’re walking through. Our guides are the same storytellers behind Fable’s Gaslamp history and ghost tours, and they’ll share local tips for your trip.
The route is under a mile on flat sidewalks and works for all ages, strollers and wheelchairs. It runs rain or shine, with no minimum group size, and ends with a scoop at family-owned Cali Cream.
