The 28th annual Taste of Point Loma hosted by the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce is returning Wednesday, April 19 with local eateries dishing out seafood, ethnic cuisine and decadent desserts from 5:30 to 9 p.m.
\nFor one ticket price, attendees can savor the best food Point Loma has to offer, as participating restaurants will offer samples of their finest and most popular menu items. Cost is $25 general, with $15 discounted tickets offered to students, military or anyone going by bike to the event.
\nParticipating restaurants include United Portuguese S.E.S.

\nReturning to this year\u2019s event is a celebration of Point Loma\u2019s Portuguese heritage with the United Portuguese S.E.S. Inc. (U.P.S.E.S.). The Point Loma Portuguese community grew in the early 1900s around the tuna industry. U.P.S.E.S. will be providing samples of traditional Portuguese dishes along with entertainment.
\n“We are excited to celebrate and bring awareness to the rich Portuguese cultural heritage in Point Loma,” said Matt Kalla, president of the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. “United Portuguese S.E.S. Inc. does a great job at giving the community a glimpse into their traditional cuisine, customs and activities.”
\nAttendees will also have the option to purchase a drink that complements the restaurant\u2019s food sample. Dog-friendly patios will be identified with a paw print next to a restaurant\u2019s logo on the ticket. Shuttle services will be available to attendees throughout the night. Proceeds benefit the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. This event often sells out, so those interested in attending are encouraged to purchase their tickets before it\u2019s too late. Tickets can be purchased online at tasteofpointloma.eventbrite.com, at The Wine Pub, Portuguese Hall, or Matt Kalla\u2019s State Farm office at 4148 Voltaire St.
\nEvent check-in for online ticket purchasers will be at United Portuguese S.E.S. Inc. at 2818 Avenida de Portugal. Attendees who purchase tickets at The Wine Pub or Matt Kalla\u2019s office can start at any of the participating restaurants identified on the ticket.
