To start off the list, we recommend hitting up SoCal Taco Fest on August 17th at Waterfront Park in San Diego. San Diego is home to some incredible creations, from simple, grilled fish tacos to savory carnitas tacos. The infusion of Mexican culture on the California coast makes San Diego a hub for amazing tacos. The SoCal Taco Fest is an opportunity to try all sorts of different local flavors for a modest price. General admission tickets are $49 and grant you access to an afternoon’s worth of eating more. More than 25 taco shops will be on hand, and there will also be beverages for sale and live music to make for an amazing afternoon.

While it’s not fully focused on food, Eric Andre is coming to San Diego on June 28th. This is a great opportunity to see an iconic comedian for a reasonable price! Tickets start at $49.50.
