More than 150 guests joined us on University Avenue for the 2026 Taste of City Heights, sampling their way through 30 stops at locally owned restaurants, cafés, markets, and eateries while celebrating the cultures, families, and small businesses that make City Heights one of San Diego's most diverse dining destinations.

Thank you to every guest, volunteer, restaurant owner, and sponsor who made the day possible.
