Review by Verner Greenfelder

Old Town Mexican Cafe is a must-visit when in San Diego! 🌮

We arrived to a bustling atmosphere and a 30-minute wait, but it was absolutely worth it. The fresh corn tortillas are a game changer! I couldn't get enough of the Salsa Verde Chicken Enchilada, and the El Dorado Margarita was the perfect complement.

Our server was attentive and cheerful, despite how busy they were. The live music added to the cozy vibe, making it a fun night. I’ll definitely be back to try more! 🌟
