    Taste of Liberty Station

    AWARENESS: Knowing the family and I would be staying close…read moreto Liberty Station during the week of April 21, 2019. I checked out not only Yelp events but, the Liberty Station website to se what was happening around the time of our visit. Yelp had a few events, most of those were for the over 21 crowd but, the Liberty Station site showed they were to host their 1st "Taste of Liberty Station" event and, it was open to all ages. NARRATIVE: The Taste of Liberty Station was held on Thursday, April 24, 2019 from 5 until 9 pm. Tickets were available for advanced purchase online at a discounted rate. Day of the event tickets were also offered with an additional cost of around $5 dollars. My family and I purchased our tickets prior to the event and I was able to download each ticket to my iPhone via the Liberty Station website. SCENE: Liberty Station is located in the Point Loma area of San Diego and occupies what was once the Navy Recruit Training Center and Naval Training Center. In fact, most the buildings playing host to the various shops and restaurants on Liberty Station are the old barracks and schools the Navy once owned and used from 1923 until 1997 when the base and buildings were sold to the City of San Diego. EVIDENCE: The event started off when we were handed a "roadmap" flyer. The flyer had a route map and a check box from the restaurants and shops participating in the event. As you entered each shop or restaurant for your bite size sample or taste. An employee would check off your stop in the box provided. Over 27 restaurants / shops participated in the event. I also noticed and actually snapped a picture of paper bags along the route which were filled with sand and a candle. These were placed along the route to show guest the path (route) to take the next stop. IMO, pretty cleaver. Over the years, my family and I have enjoyed eating at the many restaurants in and around Point Loma and Liberty Station but, I was still surprised a few times today after sampling a few places I had seen but never tried. All the sample of food at the various restaurants were plentiful and tasty. I was also happy to see all of the many employees and volunteers with smiles on their faces as they interacted with guest. In some instances, I even got some of the employees to laugh at my weak jokes. RECOMMENDATION(S): What can I say. Great weather. Great people and, a great location. With this being the first of its kind at Liberty Station. I think those responsible for putting the event together did an awesome job! I am sure with todays success, this event and more like it will take place in the future and when it does. I will be right here to watch, eat and smile.

    Beautiful day out on Liberty Station! I luckily scored tickets thanks to Yelp SD's Elite Ticket…read moreGiveaway for Grand Fiesta. Parking was easy and it was a cinch to get in and out of the festival in the heart of Liberty Station. The event went from 12-3pm and the line wrapped around the block, but had steady flow with shortly arriving inside after about a 20 minute wait. I got to try many vendors some familiar and many for the first time! 1. La Corriente Cocina Del Pacifico: Red Snapper and Ahi Tuna 2. Mezcal Los Javis 3. Brewjeria: West Coast IPA 4. Cherry Fish 5. Dockside Fish 6. Palmy's Pacific Beach 7. Surfside: Black Cherry, Iced Tea Lemonade 8. Fire Barbecue: Pastrami 9. Sovereign Modern Thai 10. Dang Brother Pizza 11. Caliano Pizza: Chopped Cheese 12. Xteca: Mexican America Lager 13. Las Comiditas: Mole over meat tortilla chip 14. Suntide: Guava Strawberry Mimosa 15. Casa Chocolate: Apple with chocolate drizzle with fruity pebbles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch 16. Barrilitos: Manzana Some vendors ran out by 1:30pm and another vendor said we got the last 2 portions. I left by 1:45pm after checking out a good amount of vendors! Overall, a terrific festival and had fun enjoying some eats, drinks, music and a deeper appreciation for Latin America and Mexico influence over Southern California dishes.

    First of all, thank you @YelpSanDiego and Hannah for tickets to this amazing San Diego Wine + Food…read moreGrand Fiesta at Liberty Station. So grateful to be able to attend this event. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. Pros: lots of alcohol, super friendly vendors, San Pellegrino everywhere to keep you hydrated, nicely decorated with Day of Dead photo ops, fresh hot tacos (all delicious) with fancy toppings, restaurants from TJ, Mexicali, SD, variety of tacos from lengua to Thai to ahi to salmon, free parking, nice variety of alcohol from sangria to beer to wine to hard cider. Cons: long lines, waste of plates, no table tops/belly ups or seats unless part of VIP section, no dessert booths, lots of empty booths and/or vendors ran out of food before 2:00. But getting to go for free makes me even embarrassed to bring up the cons. Truly it was a great event. Liberty Station was a great venue for this because it was spacious for the amount of people in attendance. Tix were sold out. Parking is easy and free. Only caveat: I didn't check out restrooms or see them but I do wish there were handwashing stations around. Some vendors were eating with the same gloved hands they were serving from.

    Just call me the Merry Maker!…read more We have been attending this event since it's humble beginnings, both the Holiday and Spring shows. All I can say is that it gets better and bigger each year. I preferred when they changed up the event locations, as some did allow dogs. I've always heard the Port wouldn't but there were many there on this bright sunny December day. Service dogs, questionable. The first year at Port Pavilion, the security guard let us in to run and take a photo with our dog at the photo booth, then we were able to sit outside, eat and have a cocktail. My husband let me roam the booths. Handmade and well priced deals, there is live music and a DIY craft bar. I worked with a couple who were selling their product. Impressive, they paired up with Hugh Jackman and his coffee company and they added their own custom candle. They have provided to the Golden Globes. There was not just one photo booth this year, but there were two, You could double your fun. We chose the Camera Camper as it's been my favorite photo booth to date, experienced it at one of my favorite Yelp events. Also, I am a bit suspicious of a Santa who looks to young. Santa's little helper though, I got a kick out watching her look and laugh at the photos. All I can say is "Oh, what fun for days". Its time for cotton candy and cookies made of real butter, consumer spending on handmade goods, truly merriment at it's finest. #SanDiego #MakersArcade #MerryGoodTime #RealHandmadeGoods #FakeServiceDogs

    Date of visit: 20Jun2025 Just remembering about this…read moreShawarma eatery located in OB. I had the Chicken Cream Chop Pita with a side of hummus for the YEE. The S.O. came along to order a Beef Shawarma plate as an extra add-on (plus a beer). The Chicken Cream Chop inside the pita had an enjoyable crunch, so clearly fried fresh. Breading a little loose, however, and the pita was not warmed up. The S.O.'s beef shawarma plate was sadly disastrous since it was quite literally cold in temperature. Food came out fast, but some things were clearly reheated on the grill and could have used extra time to transfer some joy. Workers were down to earth and the chairs facing the sidewalk were perfect for people and dog watching. Super grateful for these events regardless of some setbacks.

I came here on a very rainy day, very pregnant, but very much prepared to have a very enjoyable meal to enjoy at home. Parking was easy to find, as I came during the middle of the week a little after lunch time. Parking spot was street parking and in a timed spot, but service was so quick I was in & out in a short amount of time. The staff was some of the friendliest I've ever experienced. It was my birthday, & the manager Alex threw in a drink for me as a birthday present . The entire time I was there (and as long as there weren't other guests to attend to) the cashier was super friendly giving me all the tips for becoming a girl Mom. I truly appreciate their kindness & generosity. Fresh, flavorful & savory food. You will not be disappointed. Hands down, my favorite Elite experience yet
