Old Town Mexican Cafe

Absolutely the best Mexican food Around. Prices are great. Portions are good. (You wont leave hungry) great service and they keep the place spotless. One of my favorite stops when visiting San Diego. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try if you haven't already. I promise it just doesn't get any better. Oya and grab some homemade tortillas on your way out. So dang yummy!

Our server talked too fast and by the time we got our food it looked old and dry like it had been sitting awhile which is strange because the place was packed. ALSO I found a black hair in mine. I have blond. The tortilla ladies out front seem to know what they're doing.

Two years ago I had an amazing meal at this restaurant. I have mentioned this many times to family and friends. I finally had an opportunity to return. So disappointed. The signature dish of carnitas was so dry it was inedible. We even doused it in verde sauce (which was great) trying to give it some moisture. The molcajete was my favorite thing...was. The steak had obviously been on reheated several times to the point it was difficult to chew, the chorizo was was dry. I’m not sure how that is even possible. The chips were burned. I would like to hope that the food was bad because of all the upheaval we have been going through. But there is never an excuse for serving bad food when we know you know the difference.
