SDSU

I got lucky and won a pair of tickets to College Area Taste from the SD food blog This Tasty Life. We also bumped into Mary herself (and Jake) at the ticket pickup and joined their posse for a few hours! Awesome!

For a while I thought this was Taste of College Area, similar to the other San Diego annual taste of x events, but it's actually called College Area Taste! Sneaky! Anyway, it is a food sampling trek and was held on Sunday April 13, 2014 between 11-3pm near San Diego State University (SDSU). Tickets are normally $25 pre-sale and $30 the day of. Will-call was located outside of the College Area BID Office (4704 College Ave) and was very quick. About half of the locations were right around the corner from the pickup location.

College Area Taste 2014 - Living Room Coffeehouse

We started out at the Living Room Coffeehouse...

Today’s review is another one of my hang out spots next to SDSU. It’s a moderate sized restaurant thats right next to La Torta in the Aztec Shopping Center. They have sell basic deli type of sandwiches and some more expensive but really good gourmet “sandos” thats worth a try.

When the cashier asked me what I wanted to order, I told him “In Yo’ Face Sucka.” (thats what its really called!)

Update: This location has closed.

Oshi is a small korean restaurant off the corner of College Ave and Montezuma. Its pretty much the only decent asian food near SDSU and within walking distance. My friend goes there during lunch time to scope out the korean and japanese girls. I go there for food.
