Old Town Mexican Cafe

Vanessa our waitress is fantastic! She had a large Birthday party to serve and did a great job. Big room in back was awesome and private. My chicken enchilada needed juicy chicken (a little dry) and more sauce on top. Cheese sprinkles on top and sauce tasty. Beans good. Rice spicy and tomato flavor different then any Spanish rice I've had. We all had a very fun night.

Been here 4 times and mainly it for the handmade tortillas! They are so good! The food is good but the salsa have been toned down a bit. As a Mexican I want a spicy salsa not more of a lemon flavor (salsa verde) or tomato flavor (salsa roja). I mean it is a Mexican restaurant especially when the menu states it as a spicy item but isn’t. The flavors of the food but a good salsa is what can make or break a dish.

We’re Mexican and we obviously are experts in Mexican food, so all I can say is that Old town Mexican cafe has a really nice machaca!! 🇲🇽 At first they gave us totopos with a really good salsa and then we had Minero omelette (eggs with machaca, beans, chilaquiles and HAND MADE TORTILLAS) and a HUGE carne asada quesadilla. I loved the quesadilla and my partner loved the omelette. Both of them were really big and tasty. The guys were really friendly and as they knew we are Mexican, they speak in Spanish to me us feel more comfortable. Thank you!

Old Town Mexican Cafe delivers a fantastic dining experience with its great food and amazing margaritas. The molcajete is a standout dish, packed with flavor and variety. The cheese enchiladas and crispy tacos are equally scrumptious, showcasing a perfect blend of traditional flavors. To top it all off, the churro dessert is a delightful treat, ending the meal on a high note. Overall, it's a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine.

First time in 40 years in Old Town. Walking around there is an abundance of Mexican restaurant choices. My gut chose Old Town Mexican Cafe and I was not disappointed. Fortunately it was slower than likely normal so got seated immediately. Friendly and courteous was the entire staff. Very efficient and you can tell they can handle super busy times. Big fan of carnitas and this was exceptionally good. Chile rellano and tacos were also too notch. Salsa excellent. Highly recommend this place.

You have to eat here! I know that there are many places to choose from when you're in Old Town, but this is definitely one of the best places to eat fresh Mexican food that is downright excellent! The servers are attentive and super friendly! We all loved our meals and gained at least 10lbs LOL! You can never go wrong with homemade tortillas.

Authentic cuisine doesn't even come close to describing how amazing and delicious everything at the Old Town Mexican Cafe was. The atmosphere was great, the service was top notch the food was unbelievable and they had our favorite beers, what more do you need?

Great Atmosphere! You definitely get the whole vibe! My initial impression was great hearing the music, watching the decor and the line of people lined outside the door! However our waitress seemed rushed and not very friendly. The Mole plate suggestion was Very Disappointing as you can see in the picture, it was like a bird carcass on my plate, the mole sauce itself was actually very very good! The rice seemed old and microwaved and my beans were cold. The flour tortillas were great! Unfortunately we will Not be returning to Old Town Mexican Café!

Awesomeness food and service. We love this place. We will be back again very soon. I love the chicken mole.

This review is well-deserved and long overdue! Their pozole is simply the best. I tried both the red and white pozole recently, and while the red was good, the white pozole is my absolute favorite--rich, comforting, and perfectly seasoned. Be sure to get a side of beans and their fresh flour tortillas. The tortillas are so soft and warm, sometimes even served fresh while you wait--a thoughtful and delicious touch. The service is usually very good, but Kathy was especially great during my most recent visit. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of classic Old Town charm. Old Town Mexican Café is a timeless favorite. Highly recommend!

Dined in at Old Town "Mexican" Cafe - excited to try their food which quickly turned into disappointment. Starting from the really bad service we received.. after getting our food, our server disappeared and never checked in on us and after 40~ minutes he brought us the check even though we didn't ask for it (way to ask how was everything and if we wanted dessert).. he also seemed high.. The food was lacking flavor - tried the white pozole which was very salty and their taquitos had no seasoning whatsoever. Their horchata also is not fresh! This place has zero ambience and the decor is all over the place I'd suggest you skip this place or any "Mexican" place in Old Town! If you're looking for authentic food visit Cocina de Barrio or Javier's

I find myself in San Diego quite often for work. I have a few, must visit places when I'm in town. This is definitely one of them. I have yet to find a dish that I don't like. The food is authentic and delicious! Full disclosure, I'm usually traveling alone or with one other co-worker and as a result, I find it's easier to eat on the bar side. The service I have received every time is fantastic. They pay attention to your drinks and make sure you have everything you need. From outside the building to the inside the ambiance truly portrays the old town feel.

We were seated pretty quickly. The waitress was so nice and attentive. The kids meal was huge! The vegan nachos were okay . Wish it came with more veggies. The meat they use taste good. The salsa they use for the chips was so good it was a bit spicy but really good. The michelada was made perfectly! Omg so good. I would go back just for the michelada. But they charge for the Clamato. Which was insane to me.

We went to the Mexican Cafe for a wedding rehearsal dinner. They seated all of us in the Gatden room towards the back of the restaurant. They immediately brought out chips, salsa and huge bowls of guacamole! Then the drinks started to arrive. We were having ao much fun and the restaurant staff was incredible. The food was delicious. I ordered pulled pork carnitas. Sorry I didn't take pictures as you can imagine a LOT was going on. Thank you to the restaurant for accommodating us as keeping it classy! The bride and groom were very happy and had huge smiles on their faces.

The mocajete was amazing, as were the fresh tortillas. Came here for lunch and was seated immediately. I had to stop myself from stuffing my face with the chips & salsa to start. Friend and I ordered tacos and a small mocajete to share. This may be an unpopular opinion, but the tacos were fine but not amazing. I've never had a mocajete and was pleasantly surprised. A hot stone bowl with sizzling food (meats, cheese, veggies). I would highly recommend getting this. The tortillas with it were really good, clearly fresh.

dinner in old town: Awesome fresh fried chips cant eat just one with two kinds of salsa. We came at the right time with no wait. Now they call parties by name when a table is ready. Doc finished her large bowl of pozole with condiments and quartered limes. Hubs ate all his carne asada and huge glass of horchata. I ate half of my chicken suprema tostada. The fried shell was crunchy and tasty. Our server waa pretty and friendly. There was a wait to get the check but only cuz of the incoming crowd of diners.

I cannot believe this restaurant doesn't have more stars! Here is a positive review to hopefully help boost it up - Old Town Mexican Cafe has always been my favorite restaurant. The food has always been incredible and never disappoints. In my eyes It's the best Mexican restaurant in San Diego and the star of Old Town. The homemade tortillas are incredible and the food is always flavorful and has a pretty presentation when they bring it out. Dining area is nice as well and I like how there is more open outdoorish seating on the other side of the restaurant. Staff has always been kind and was extremely helpful tonight as well when I ordered some food to go. Great service thank you a ton! I will always recommend this restaurant and it's definitely worth eating here if you haven't already. Thank you !

Good Mexican food... waitress was friendly and very efficient... We eat here almost every time we come.... Parking gets hectic in the afternoons....

Watching the fresh tortillas being made in the windows is what drew us in. During our visit, it was packed and busy. The waiter was friendly, but it was difficult to get his attention because of how busy it was. Forgot to take pictures of all that was ordered but can't say anything in particular stood out. Kiddos ordered carne asada street tacos and p-ollo asado tacos. They said the tacos were fine but noted they've had better. Hubs ordered the carne asada plate and I ordered the carnitas plate. Went with the recommendation and ordered them crispy. The carnitas come with refried beans and a side plate of onions, tomato and avocado slices, cilantro, and lime wedges. At first, the tortillas arrived hot and we're enjoyable especially when eaten with the hot beans. However, the tortillas cooled quickly and became hard. Hubs noted the steak was ok. As for the crispy carnitas, can't say I cared for them. They were too hard and dry, and didn't really have any flavor.

I love this place; it's probably my favorite restaurant. If I didn't live in another county, I would come more often. However, on Saturday during the Day of the Dead celebration, we experienced some bad service. Our server was great, but she looked exhausted and still managed to do her job well. The issue was with a woman in her early thirties, with black hair and medium dark skin, who took my name while we waited for about 45 minutes for our table, which we expected. Unfortunately, this woman was very moody and didn't smile at all. Each time we asked her a question, she gave us the evil eye. To make matters worse, our drink order was incorrect, and the woman(who had no business to interfere) insisted our drinks were correct, even though they weren't. I didn't want to cause a scene, but I regret not catching her name because her attitude made my guests feel very uncomfortable. Overall, though, the food and our server were great.

Food is authentic Love the atmosphere I ordered molcajete. Asada plate tasted so good too Tortillas are authentic

The food was decent, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. I tried the pozole verde, pozole rojo, and tortillas, along with some appetizers, including jalapeño poppers that seemed a bit frozen. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I appreciate their efforts, but I might explore other options next time for a more memorable meal.

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

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 !

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!

It was okay! I saw all the hype around this restaurant online but the food was okay. I did love seeing the women making the tortillas from scratch - this was a super authentic experience. However the food itself lacked a bit of flavor. We got the fish tacos, veggie fajitas and chicken / beef tacos. The service was great - everyone was extremely nice and the decorations and vibe were pretty.

Manny is the BEST!!! If you are looking for real authentic Mexican food, this is the place!!!

Food: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Price: 4/5 Came in on a Friday night with a group of 3. They sat us down immediately, which was great. Service was unfortunately very, very slow. We would go 25 minutes in between seeing our server, and it took 20 minutes to receive the check. The food was standard Mexican cuisine. The prices were good for the area. I would probably pass on coming back in the future.

Came to this place because my son had a football game in the area, and a friend recommended it. This place reminds me of a restaurant that would be in Mexico. The food was pretty good, and the customer service was really good. The restaurant is very big with a casual vibe. They were working on their bar closest to the entrance. I'm not sure how this place has 3 stars on Yelp, but it's at least a solid 4.

Handmade tortillas, killer molcajete Hand made tortillas. Great waitstaff. Just plain good Mexican food in an awesome authentic environment. Great place to go!

San Diego is one of the best places ever to get Mexican food in my opinion. And Located right in Old Town is the OldTown Mexican Cafe. The place is really big with multiple eating areas, inside, outdoor patio vibe, garden area, and bar tops. The service is fast and friendly and there are a bunch of employees. The food is delicious and they have plenty options. They even have good healthy options for Vegetarians and Vegans. Everything we got was super delicious! More traditional rather than taco shop vibes! Must try!

Fave spot in Old Town and love the handmade corn and flour tortillas. I did want a lighter breakfast so had one of each tortilla with their #AlbondigasSoup. Soup was tasty with lots of veggies to my liking except for the slice of corn . I didn't feel like eating around the cob. It only had 1 and 1/2 small meatballs I asked for butter with my order then had to flag another server when I finally caught the attention of one quickly walking by. Otherwise the service was Since the meatballs are tiny I think 3 would be perfect and two fully formed better than 1 and 1/2.

Menu items to suit all palates, including my selective one. Enjoyed the a-la-cart cheese enchilada w/salsa verde (green sauce). My BFF June was pleased w/crispy (not over crunchy) rolled potato tacos, blanketed with/pico de gallo. Service by Kathy simply unparalleled, often anticipating our needs. Ambiance feels genuine, breezy & comfort forward. Can't recommend this authentic spot enough!

This place is so packed on a Saturday night. They hand-make their tortillas right by the restaurant's window so you know it's going to be good! Their portions are enormous - enough to share with two people. They're famous for their carnitas and provide some veggies and handmade tortillas on the side. All patrons get unlimited tortilla chips and fresh salsa. I ended up ordering the dinner plate which came with enchilada, beef taco, chile relleno, rice, and beans. Everything on the plate was delicious and they did not skimp on the cheese. We also got margarita pitchers to share. They did add a lot of ice so if you're nursing it, it'll get watered down quickly. Overall the food was great. The service was so-so. It's probably because it was packed and our waiter seemed unamused and wanted to get out of there. Overall, I'd recommend coming here to try the fresh tortillas

Solid choice in an area with an abundance of similar options. Enjoyed chips, salsa (spicy) and watermelon margarita drinks. Service was good, fast. Music was fun, booths were comfy. Cannot a-test much on food

With the many flavors that when you travel to Old Town and to walk out of the State Park you find many of the other restaurants to where you can go local bars and taco shops that are located on Taylors r and Twigs street. Outside the state park you find more of the smaller and retail shops that you find in the Tijuana. For the many restaurants that you find in the state park are run by the private companies that oversee the operations and the food that is served. For the many foods that you find is more to the ethnic feel of the park what is outside the park is run by the city of San Diego with feq of the restaurants of the Rockn Baja Lobster restaurant. Old Town Mexican Cafe is one that is located at the middle of the city with the cemetery that is located close by you can walk amongst the many shops and breakfast restaurants. Old Town Mexican Cafe you can find the red roofed restaurant that has dark windows . The smell of the great food where you can have a whole or that of half chicken with rice and beans with the side of freshly made tortillas. For the restaurant is one where you find many people coming in groups for a restaurant cafe that is low light . At the front door they do have a person that helps with seating the times I've seen people seating outside waiting to be seen . One of the other restaurants that make fresh tortillas is EL Coyote where they make fresh tortillas you can buy for two and get butter or salsa..

The service is excellent. We had an older gentleman serve us and he was magnificent. Made great recommendations and was on point the entire meal. The carne asada was so tender and tasty. Its was reasonably priced and had great sides. The carnitas was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. It had just enough crisp that paired well with the subtle flavors. I really enjoyed it with the corn tortillas. I liked the carne asada with the flour tortillas. The place looked had an old world flavor. Loved the experience.

Such a nice authentic ambiance, you walk in and on your right hand side a professional old lady is making the fresh tortilla with a huge smile on her face (so cute) and the vibes are truly "old town Mexican". The staff is super nice and friendly. We got the molcajete for two, it came in this stone bowl that kept it warm till the very last bite with the most delicious sauce. The shrimp and octopus appetizer, was not impressive but given that the overall experience was good, I gave them 5 stars. The mangonada was delicious .

Update Still our goto here in San Diego, being in old town is a plus you can get hungry walking in old town and walking off that great meal. The ladies are still hand making every tortilas for cafe. This is another flavor touch you dont get else where the fresh handmade do make each dish a little better . Wide variety of dishes, and a great bar for a variety of drinks

Just "ok"service today and that set the precedence for our whole guest experience on this visit. Please note, we're local and love coming here, just not today, 8/23 @1145. Here's why: while waiting for our table we tried to order 3 beers from the bartender, and we were told that although he can take the beer order, a waiter would have to bring them to us at our bar table. WTF ? Why is this a rule when ordering from the bar while sitting at a bar table? So, we sat at a bar table watching our beers get warm while sitting at the server pick up area. Then we got seated, and our beers were still sitting on the bar. 5 minutes sitting at our table with no beers. Had to go back to the bar to ask for the beers (getting warm) - this seemed to upset the bartender and the female wait staff who can't seem to understand how this is affecting the guests. Horrible Attitude from the female wait staff who told me "go back to your table." All while our beers were still sitting on the bar. BAD is the least way to explain the service experience we encountered today from the bartender and a female wait staff. Please review your cameras if you have them. 8/23 12pm. Please watch our beers and the service experience. Then, to top it off - the wrong beers were poured and delivered, so we had to send them back. Shame on you- you're so much better than this!!!! Coaching is absolutely needed! Serve the guest and not your policies. Make sure policies are a part of your real guest experience. Never have I ever ordered from a bar and had to wait for a server to deliver them to us in a open bar seating areas

Sooo! Much! Good food! Okay we were a large party of 12 and were seated in about 20 minutes. The restaurant is a pretty decent size and great at accommodating larger parties. All the food was amazing! And so were the alcoholic beverages. For appetizers we tried the queso fundido, and Spicy tequila ribs(super tender and meaty). Personally I liked the spicy ribs more than the Mexican style ribs. For my entree I ordered a combination plate with chicken and pork enchiladas, along with a strawberry margarita. Everything I tried I was a fan of, and everyone in my party's plate was empty. Service was amazing, our server Julio was great and was able to promptly take our order and make sure we were taken care of. Parking is in the back of restaurant in close walking distance.

Been going here for 30 years. Always great. Most recent trip included carnitas played, fish tacos, kids meals. Classic Margs were great but too pricey (as everywhere is). Highly recommend otc. Parking in back is a huge perk also. Service was top notch that we got.

Great customer service, food is delicious. Way too expensive for the micheladas separate charge for the clamato.

Came by with some family to try this place out. It's very large and bigger than we expected! All in all everything was good. It's not the best Mexican you'll ever have but it's a definite solid choice. Also their salsas slapped! Cool fact is they make their tortillas homemade and you can tell! Very flavorful and light. Service was phenomenal and fast. They have their own parking lot which is great. We went on a Saturday and with just a bit of patience you'll get a spot.

Food was good and so was the service. We did the street tacos and the house special carnitas.

the worst Mexican food I've ever had！the signature dish are super salty and sour， you can barely eat！every meat is so dry.... the only good thing is the churro not to mention the slow service， waiting for almost 30 minutes to order food... so disappointed experience here

Not so good this time. Food quantity seems to have dropped. Sharing a meal is more difficult and prices are high. Still excellent chops and salsa. Great service. I would still visit here when in old town.

OMG SO FREAKING GOOD! Killer Mexican food!!! Just spectacular. Then, to top off the meal, the absolute best flan I've ever tasted. Just go.

The service was so bad not once did our waitress check on us we would have liked to order some guacamole sodas and we needed more napkins and salsa When she brought us our food we had to remind her to bring us our waters etc never even stopped when she put our food down We have been coming here for years so disappointing I actually asked her when she brought us our check why she did not check on us she shrugged her shoulders and smiled I just don't get it Do better !! I have never asked a waiter that question before

I really wanted to like this place! But it was epically underwhelming. The chips were very stale, the food didn't have a ton of flavor, and the service was pretty bad. I asked for hot sauce and ordered a margarita and neither one even arrived to the table. And the restaurant was so loud that we felt like we were yelling at each other all night. Ha! The one saving grace was the fresh tortillas!! Those made all the difference. Without those soft, pillowy tortillas this probably would've been a one star review.

We got the molcajete with flour tortillas and it was soooooo good. Out of my comfort zone but 10/10 for everything in it esp the salsa inside! The the cucumber Rita and the 1800 Cadillac were spectacular. I'm so happy we came and will 100% come again. If you're lucky you'll get Cathy, she had great recommendations and took such good care of us.

This was my 2nd visit. On this visit I had the shrimp taco. It was ok. I've had better. Staff were friendly but it took really long to get drinks. Service is slow. A lot of the staff were standing around. The other party I was with asked the server to split the check and he said ok. At the end of the visit the waiter gave us our tickets and it wasn't split up. So we ask if he can split it so he does and we give him cash and ask that he give us our change back. Well he only came back with my change and tried to keep the $12 that my mom was due back. When we pointed it out he acted like he didn't know what he did but he knew. This was the 1st time we have ever experienced this. Not sure if I would want to come back if this is how they do business. I mean we would have tipped them good if we didn't have to ask who our server was so that we can get our drinks.

This is an old gem in the heart of Old Town. My husband and I have been going here for 20 years now. Omg! It's not fancy Mexican cuisine or a high end restaurant. But it's good. I don't think it gets enough recognition . San Diego has so many great eating spots. But I encourage you to stop by. I always judge Mexican food by the refried beans. And these are sooo good. Im sure it has lard in them and I really don't care. lol. Their salsa is always delish and freshly made... and the vibe is relaxed and comfortable. But don't forget about their homemade tortillas.. those are worth stopping by for, if anything else.

Great food and service. The Mariachi's are fun to watch also this is spot to go when I am in the area.

Great food and service. Came here from airport on free Flyer shuttle. Fresh tortillas being made by hand in the window. Ordered the asada plate after finding out beef fajitas didn't include guacamole. Nice size, hot plate and everything is just delicious. Server recommended flour tortillas and they came with butter. Tasty on their own.

I order the spicy Chicken Mole. I was shocked how incredibly dry and tough the chicken was. The Mole had no flavor or taste at all. This has to be the worst Mole I have ever had in my life. I tried to eat it but after three bites I just couldn't. Sadly I had to send it back there was no way anyone could eat that. In sending my plate back the waiter was very understanding about it but the funny thing after informing him how dry and tasteless it was, he offered to bring me another one telling me it's all the same lol Yeah that was a hard NO!!! Ambiance is so cultural All in all I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE CHICKEN MOLE
