    We ate here because my Neices soon to be mother-in-law chose this place for her birthday meal! We had them sing Happy Birthday to her in spanish which was really special! We had a wonderful time and the food was great!

    I had the typical meal of enchilada's, rice, beans and a cool tall glass of margarita's!

    This is my second choice in Old Town. One of the deciding factors is that it stays open later--until midnight--than most restaurants in the area. It is very popular and often times there is quite a wait. Benches are provided inside and out while you wait and for those interested, there are two huge windows on either side of the entrance which offer a view of their tortilla ladies, making and cooking flour and corn tortillas. On one side there is also a huge cooking spit where rows and rows of whole chickens rotate over an open fire until tenderly cooked.

    The menu is extensive and the food is good and there is a full service bar. Service should please you in this lively local's hang out. My favorite meal is Chicken Fajitas or Carnitas and a margarita. If I'm in a specially festive mood I like 1800 tequila shooters.

    Watch the famous "Tortilla Ladies" make fresh corn and flour tortillas...a meal at the Old Town Mexican Cafe is one of the best bargains in San Diego. Three people ate there and the bill came up to just over $30.00 (including drinks).

    Try the Camarones Especiales which is succulent gulf shrimp, sauce and vegetables wrapped in a flour tortilla with Mexican rice and refried beans. It also comes with a soup (seafood and vegetable which is delicious) or salad option. And you must try one of there famous margaritas.

    Our feet were getting tired after nearly a full day of sightseeing -Maritime Museum in the morning, Old Town after a substantial Fish and Chip Lunch at the Harbour Cafe. So we were not really hungry but it was a very hot February afternoon and we ceratinly fancied a rest in those nice gardens we could see down the street and from which came the sound of a Mexican band. It was no ordinary garden but the patio overspill of the Old Town Mexican Cafe, very busy but we found a table and noticed everyone around was tucking in to large plates full of food. It seemed churlish to only order an orange juice so from the menu we chose a chicken salad to go with it. Perhaps one day we will remember that a light snack is one of the hardest things to find anywhere in America! But we enjoyed it and the touristy atmosphere and the music!

    We were attracted to dine in this restaurant because of 3 things: First, yummy roast chicken in the window; Second, long queue outside, and Third, tortilla ladies!!! The food turn out great! What more, they have live mexican music inside!
