Lonely Planet review for Old Town Mexican Café

[ourpick] Old Town Mexican Café Watch the staff turn out fresh tortillas in the window while waiting for a table. Besides breakfast (great chilaquiles - soft tortilla chips covered with mole), there's a big bar (try the Old Town ultimate margarita) and rambling dining room serving famous machacas (shredded pork with onions and peppers).

    A Customer Disservice

    sundiego does not recommend this,

    An awful experience - I went with a group of friends of mine late at night, and they literally cussed at us for paying with multiple credit cards - even though the waiter said it was okay. To make it worse, it was the manager that was the one cussing at us. No excuses for this place - it doesnt matter if you are more famous now, this place used to be great and now its not where I would recommend anybody go to eat since there is so much other Mexican Food places in San Diego. Try Casa Guadalajara instead - free appetizers during happy hour!

    Great restaurant that easy for your wallet!

    chamu195 recommends this,

    You will be pleased this restaurant's friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced delicious food! This restaurant is always crowded and many people are waiting outside the restaurant. Indeed, it worth waiting! This place is pretty big so this is good for family or even some type of party. Tortillas are freshly made and there are tons of variety menus for both food and drinks.
    You will get to feel the little "Mexico" in this area and you will enjoy the cheerful people around you!

    Good for: atmosphere, food, Budget Travellers, Groups, service, Families
