Alchemy Restaurant & Bar in San Diego

Don't forget this coming weekend is the World Famous South/North Park tasting event.  Can you believe it's been a year since the first happening??  We will be offering a special appetizer and drink from close to home, Barrio Logan.  Pulled Chicken Enchiladas (2 per order) and Blackberry/Lime Sangria, each $4.00  It all starts on Sunday 1/30/11 at 5:00pm and goes until we run out.

A Nod to Noshing

Chef Ricardo Heredia has designed a menu to celebrate sustenance with a nod to our standard menu - only bite-size- to entice you to try a few select items in a half size portion. Think of this as a morsel of gratitude for your empty stomachs - We thank you for your endless support.  Feel free to taste as many as you like, to share or hoard until your heart's delight. Enjoy!  Heck you could put together a five-course tasting menu for $25 if you take one plate from each section.
