Old Town Mexican Cafe

15 Excellent Margaritas to Try in San Diego | Eater

"This restaurant has been a fixture in Old Town since 1977, serving up traditional Mexican dishes using handmade corn and flour tortillas prepared in its in-house tortilleria daily. Old Town Mexican Cafe’s menu is massive, covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so make your first order of business getting your hands on a Passion Margarita, a blend of Astral Blanco, passion fruit puree, lime, and agave, to quench your thirst while you go over all the food menu. Regulars give high praise to the Old Town Pollo, a traditional Mexican-style rotisserie chicken with cilantro, onion, tomato, peppers, rice, beans, and handmade tortillas; the carnitas plate, an original house recipe that comes shredded, crispy or chunky style; and the majestic molcajete for two with grilled shrimp and chicken breast, chorizo, nopales, steak, and grilled cheese, brought to you in a screaming hot stone molcajete. It also comes in mini size for one." - Mary Beth Abate
