I visited several vendors for eat and to chat and learn about their trade. I certainly learned some and ate some good food like vegan adobada and a terrific vegan croissant. All the vendors were very nice happy to provide Vegan treats. Being held at a parking lot at Grossmont Mall, parking is plentiful and access is easy.

Whelp, I have a solution for that...plan your OWN Vegan Festival and it can be wherever you want it to be! Until then, this is the best thing to happen to the San Diego Vegan scene since...ever! and (2) the lines are too looooong. I get there when it opens and there are zero lines. So, there you have it: problems solved. Either drive to where it is or plan your own and if you don't, get there when it starts. I am gracious and thankful that people are VOLUNTEERING their time to put on this awesome vegan festival and coordinating with the mall and vendors. It's held the first Friday of each month. Follow @veganinsandiego for all the details. See you there!

The amount of food is enough for 2-3 people and it's all delicious. We opted for spicy because we felt the taster of sweet chicken was too sweet for our taste. Pro-tip: If you go to the farmers market, you can bring your own Tupperware and they will fill it to the brim. Get more food and don't create waste - win/win :) Will definitely be back soon Cheers, African Food Kitchen!

The type of food that makes you want to dance as you eat but you don't want to accidently drop anything. The Lentils are a must! But then ...

I was fortunate enough to run into this true natured BBQ food vendor at the Burning Beard Brewery…read more The proprietor cooks all his meats the traditional way with hot flavored smoke. In fact, he smokes the meats inside modified re-engineered barrels that had been expertly designed for BBQ. I could not help myself and I ordered the smoked tri tip nachos that not only came with heavenly medium temped smoked tr tip, but with a house made baked bean made with beer. The tri tip was very well prepared and had a mild smoky flavor brought on by the quality avocado wood locally harvested and supplied by avocado growers. The meat was a perfectly smoked and was very tender and had the right moisture level. The smoked meat was topped with a drizzle of tasty BBQ sauce and laid over the the homemade baked beans and crispy tortilla chips. The beans were tender, well seasoned, and had a subtle flavor of a craft beer. Well done. The nachos came with a handsome amount of crispy tortilla chips, but one thing these nachos needed was perhaps a light garnish of chopped peppery scallions or a light sprinkle of finely shredded cheese, not just for color but for that little extra flavor profile. The gent running the smoked meat shop or real BBQ haven was a gent and quite informative regarding his trade.

If you love good BBQ and supporting local businesses, you have to try Colby's food!! He travels to…read moreSan Diego local breweries and meaderies and serves his delicious food! I love some great BBQ, and am extra fond of the Tri-Tip he makes. I have had it several times and it's always just perfect. So tender and the flavor is always on-point. He switches up the kind of wood he cooks it over and the sauce he uses over the meat is paired perfectly with whatever you're drinking at the breweries! The quantity of food is excellent. You truly get what you pay for. If you spend $12 on nachos, you're getting $12 worth of food, which is something very rare to find nowadays. As you can see from my photo, the nachos are loaded, which I absolutely love. (Definitely enough to share! And I'm not someone that normally likes to share my food!) Same goes for the Tri-Tip sandwich. He always ensures there is more meat than bread.. that's how you do it! So grab a few friends, get some brews, and try out the Carver, Coal & Barrel! You will not be disappointed and if you're anything like my friends and I, you'll be craving it frequently!

I remember trying Sonoran-style hot dogs while visiting a friend in Tucson, AZ several years ago…read more After seeing Ochidoggy show up on the activity feed for my connections, I decided to visit this pop-up vendor in the southern part of the Normal Heights neighborhood. The setup was a simple cart under a canopy in a random parking lot on El Cajon Blvd. A few picnic tables with overhead cover were available if you wanted to eat your food on-site. Five different hot dogs along with french fries and a stuffed jalapeno pepper were offered on the menu. A typical Sonoran hot dog has a bacon-wrapped frank topped with pinto beans, onions, tomatoes, and other condiments. It's served on a bolillo bun. The Hot Dog Regular here contained bacon, grilled onion, red onion, tomato, and mayonnaise on a football-shaped bun which made it the closest resemblance to an original Sonoran. I chose two other varieties for my to-go order, a Hot Dog Jumbo and a Hot Dog Chilidogo. The first one had the same ingredients as the Regular with ham and American cheese added. The second one also had the same ingredients as the Regular, however the bacon-wrapped frank was stuffed inside a California pepper with grilled mozzarella cheese on top. Trays of condiments were arranged in front of the cart so you could select additional toppings. Four different sauce bottles were also available for more flavor. As you can see from my photo, both hot dogs were buried under the other components. The right type of bun was used which was very soft. I did feel that a gratuitous amount of mayonnaise was drizzled on top. I didn't add more toppings or sauces because there was already a sufficient spread. I am unsure if there are other businesses in the SD area that serve Sonoran-style hot dogs as I have not actively searched for them. I can say that the products I tasted from Ochidoggy were good enough for a four star rating.

Great food and lovely service. I love Sonoran hotdogs ever since trying them in Arizona so I was…read moreexcited to try this place. The set up is nice with a few parking spots in the lot and 3 picnic benches, bright lights, and even a heater. Prices were very reasonable ($9 for regular Sonoran dog with fries, $2.50 for canned soda or bottled ice tea). The owner was extremely nice and friendly - explained all the options and toppings to us, and even came over to turn on the heater so it will be less cold while we eat. The food came out quickly and everything was super efficient. Hot dog was great - tasty soft bun, bacon wrapped hot dog really tasty, and enjoyed all the toppings. The fries were decent but in my opinion slightly over fried and would be even better if a tiny bit more seasoned as well. Great portions though. Overall the experience was fantastic and we will be back!

Amazing fish tacos! They have daily deals, and on Sunday it's one fish taco and a fish ceviche for…read more$13. I got two fish tacos but got to try the ceviche as well. The tacos are wonderfully battered without it being overwhelmingly breaded. The cabbages and tomatoes on top were very refreshing, but for a nice kick, they have a small salsa bar with grilled chili peppers available and those were delicious! They also offer free seafood consume, which taste great on the fish taco, as a tortilla chip dip, or just on its own to sip on (although a bit on the salty side). There was a canopy set up with too long tables to provide some shade while eating. They also have napkins and hand sanitizer available. Overall, a great spot for some fish tacos!

We came out for Taco Tuesday today for their fish taco special. It was pretty busy so we waited…read moreabout 15 minutes for our fresh battered fish on corn tortilla tacos. We were given a complimentary cup of tomato seafood broth to enJoy while we were waiting. Tasty! Service was fine. We took the tacos to go and they were indeed fresh, hot, and lightly battered. The fish was very flaky and enjoyable to eat. Each taco had chopped onion, cilantro & cabbage on it as well as white sauce. The tacos are fairly large, and honestly two tacos were fine for me, so M. enjoyed four tacos and was happy about that. They have a selection of sauces that are labeled. They were out of the habanero, but the green jalapeño one was tasty with just a bit of heat. If you are in the mission valley area, this is a good taco Tuesday deal. This is a food truck, so there are limited amenities. They do have a couple of tables under a canopy where you can stand and eat if you wish, otherwise, you can take your food to go. Kiko's is also known for their delicious ceviches as well as other taco options, so give them a try. Prices are reasonable! Gracias!
