Inaugural Taste of College Area Debuts With Over 25 Local Eateries

The College Area is stepping up its game with the Inaugural Taste of College Area.

From Campus Eats to Culinary Treats

Forget everything you thought you knew about college food. This isn’t your average ramen and pizza party (though we’ve got some killer pizza spots, too). We’re talking over 25 local eateries serving up their A-game dishes.

From the aromatic brews at Ultreya Coffee and Tea to the finger-lickin’ goodness at Corbin’s Q, this event is a full-on flavor explosion.

Trolley-Hop Your Way to Deliciousness

You’ll be cruising down El Cajon Boulevard on a vintage trolley, hopping off to sample mouthwatering bites from one spot after another. That’s right, they’ve got Old Town Trolley rides to shuttle you between flavor towns. Or, if you’re feeling extra adventurous, grab a bike and pedal your way through this culinary paradise.

VIP Treatment for the True Food Aficionados

For those who take their food quests seriously, they’ve got a VIP ticket with your name on it. You’ll get discounted drinks at select “oasis” bars and pubs, plus an exclusive event shot glass to commemorate your epic food journey (while supplies last).

See you there!

Come hungry, leave happy, and discover why College Area is earning their culinary buzz!

The Inaugural Taste of College Area is happening on Sunday, September 29, from 11 AM to 3 PM. Snag your early bird tickets for $35 before August 23, or pay $40 in advance and $45 on the day. VIP tickets are going for $50.

Don’t miss out on this delicious adventure! Grab your tickets here.

See you there, San Diego!
