Seriously, having fresh tortillas is the way it should always be! Served on the side were the previously seen tortillas, which were incredibly soft and fluffy. The top had an interesting texture and upon closer examination you can see these microcuts across the entire surface! Flavorwise, there was a nice meaty char to it and it was tender. The butter dish was quite generous for only three pieces of shrimp! The carne asada was cut extremely thin. We would have liked the shrimp to have been grilled a little more to give it that extra edge. It's basically carne asada and tequila lime shrimp over a bed of rice and refried beans. We decided to listen to a song while waiting for our main course.įinally the entrees arrived. On weekends, maybe weekdays too, mariachi bands walk around and play for tips. I also thought the soup base had more spices and a deeper flavor. The meatballs were super soft and easy to bite. I had the Albondigas Soup, which had meatballs mixed with rice. The tortilla chips gave it more texture and contrast. The soup base was more brothier in flavor. The chicken reminds me of slow cooked, easy shredded rotisserie chicken. Request new ones if they aren't! Besides that, the standard appetizer salsa set off my 'spicy' senses but it was still manageable.ĭennis had the Chicken Tortilla Soup.

I think a tiny bit more lime would have made it perfect. The guac itself was not fully whipped and had chunks of natural avocado. These are made fresh daily with Hass avocados and traditional ingredients and served in a fried tortilla bowl.

With a full house of diners, you know they are making thousands each day.Īfter getting seated, complimentary chips and salsa were brought out. Right outside the restaurant, you can see fresh tortillas being made.

The restaurant itself is gigantic, like a shopping plaza with multiple sections including upstairs seating, patio area, and dining on both sides. I was surprised to see such a long line at 6pm on a Sunday, but it moved fairly quick. We found street parking on San Diego Ave 1 block south of the restaurant. Tourists love Old Town in the summer and during holidays but crowds do seem to clear up a bit when the weather cools. Lucky for us, we were recently invited to try out mexican food at Café Coyote in Old Town San Diego. We’ve been digging the latin food these days, especially after events like Latin Food Festival and Taste of Old Town.
