Cost: 59.50 plus tax and 18% gratuity includes all ten courses and all five drinks
Well, Cinco de Mayo isn't exactly known as a wine drinkers holiday so we thought we'd stray from our usual wine pairing dinners and do an over-the-top Mexican fiesta with specialty tequilas, cervezas, margaritas and cocktails instead.
Please join us (21 and up only, please) on Saturday or Sunday to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. We're serving our twist on an authentic Mexican style fiesta paired with five different drinks. We'll start with a shot of super-premium Fortaleza tequila, followed by a refreshing IPA from Agua Mala, followed by two margaritas: a Yucatan tropical fruit one plus an ultra-premium one made with four different liquors and fresh juices and served on the rocks, and finish with a mug of our legendary Mexican coffee.
Cost is a mere fifty-nine fifty for everything including all five drinks and the entire 10-course Cinco de Mayo tasting menu. Hope you can join us! Here's the line-up:
NOTE: Due to the complexity of this menu we regret that we will be unable to accommodate vegetarian requests or substitutions of any kind.

LOCATION & PHONE
Wine Vault & Bistro is located in the heart of San Diego between Little Italy and Old Town at 3731-A India Street on the upstairs terrace. Follow the black handrail up the stairs from the sidewalk to our front door. Our phone number is (619) 295-3939.
PARKING ~ FREE & PAID
Valet parking is available for $8.00. The drop-off point is two doors south of our entrance in front of Shakespeare Pub at the corner of India and Winder. Also, on-street parking is usually available within a 3-block radius. Remember that it’s OK to park in yellow commercial zones after 6:00 and that meters are also free after 6:00. You can also park in the lot behind Shakespeare Pub two doors down, but do not park in El Indio's lot unless you want your car towed! If you can’t find parking next to the restaurant, there’s always LOTS OF PARKING on San Diego Avenue and the adjacent side streets just past the Chevron station across Washington Street. So please don't drive yourself crazy endlessly going around in circles waiting to pounce on that perfect spot when there's TONS OF PARKING less than three blocks away!
