Good Mexican food... waitress was friendly and very efficient... We eat here almost every time we come.... Parking gets hectic in the afternoons....
I absolutely love this place and have been coming here since the 90's. Had a half of a roasted chicken, beans, rice, and hand made flour tortillas - I never deviate. It is so good. Would load up my suitcase with tortillas if I could, and it is fun to watch the senoras and senoritas make them in front of the restaurant! I would imagine this is what you'd fine in a restaurnat in Mexico itself! Our server was very nice and very acommodating. I cannot wait until I return for this delicious meal again!
This place was really good! It's been around forever and it's super nostalgic to us san diegans who grew up here. Hubby and I came here and were very impressed! I got the mini carne asada plate Hubby got the fajitas with beef & shrimp and both corn and flour tortillas... he was able to make 3 mini burritos with them. He calls them magica fajitas they were really good! A free chips and salsa were a nice touch. This salsa was really good and the chips were hot. Service was good and fast Dinner for 2 for around $50
Came here for an early breakfast and service was amazing! The servers were friendly and kept checking in on us. They also had live music starting around 9:30am, which was very entertaining and fun to have while enjoying your food. We got their famous old town carnitas plate and their street style tacos. Food was pretty average, but definitely an amazing vibe overall. I heard the drinks were good, so definitely check it out!
This was the best mexican food I have had in my whole entire life and I have been to Mexico many time. It is very authentic. Everything tasted amazing and had large portions. The service was great and very quick. The prices were very low for the quality and sizes of the portions. The atmosphere and ambiance transported me right to Mexico. You can see the tortilla being made from the windows. I was overall an amazing experience and some.of the best food in general that I have ever had.
Every time I come to CA I love going to Old Town and eating here! The food is authentic fresh filling and delicious ! The chips are great! The shells are homemade. The service is friendly and accommodating! It's an adorable family resturant ! The decor and lamp posts are beautiful !
