The old adage “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” applies to restaurants too. When in La Jolla, join locals at Alfonso’s for casual, satisfying gringo-ized Mexican comfort food and sweet-tart margaritas. Be sure to ask for a table on the patio, as that’s where the best people watching is. The food is typical but good – carne asada is the standout,...

Old Town is among San Diego’s top tourist stops, and all those visitors need to eat somewhere. Mexican restaurants are obviously popular, and Casa Guadalajara in Bazaar del Mundo ranks near the top of the list. Tortillas made in-house, fab margaritas and live mariachi bands give it an edge over much of the competition, but the food is quite...

Something of a local institution, Chuey’s has been in business for over 50 years. It may have changed locations a few times, but the same family still owns the restaurant and continues to be involved and on-site every day. It has a wide local following, people who love the warm, casual ambience, quick, friendly service and reliable, inexpensive...

El Agave Tequileria is the hands-down winner for tequila selection, but they have fantastic authentic food as well. Their Mole Poblano Don Julio (chicken and rice covered with a complex, multi-faceted mole sauce) is amazing; Pescado Tikin-Xik (sea bass with achiote and wrapped in a banana leaf) is succulent and satisfying; Sopecitos de Camarón...

Well-known for its fishbowl-sized margaritas (happy hour specials make them wickedly affordable), a free-flowing champagne brunch on Sundays, and a fab patio outfitted with firepits. With a name like Gringo’s you know the food isn’t going to be the most authentic, but the regional specialties section of the menu includes some great options like...

No, not the former US President. Jimmy Carter in this instance is a local restaurateur who wanted to provide a casual neighborhood eatery inexpensive but tasty food and friendly service. He succeeds on both counts. At first glance, the menu is a bit odd, including a hodge podge of international dishes. The standouts, though, are Mexican in origin....

Long-time La Jolla standby Jose’s Courthouse is the go-to place for hearty portions, reasonable prices, and a great selection of draft beers and margaritas. They’ve been open since the 1950s, and the same owner still works in the kitchen. The atmosphere is lively and fun, sometimes rowdy on weekends, and service is speedy and friendly. A reliable...

Miguel’s has been around for ages, making a name for itself by serving reliable Mexican-American food in a fun atmosphere. Chips and salsa arrive as soon as you’re seated, along with a dish of pickled vegetables and a bowl of jalapeno white sauce, which earns raves from just about everyone. You’ll find a broad menu with plenty of options such as...
Old Town Mexican Café and Cantina

Address: 2489 San Diego Ave, San Diego, CA 92110
Old Town is San Diego’s top attraction, and all the restaurants in the area are nearly always packed. OTMC has a bit of an edge over the competition: the “tortilla ladies” who make over 7000 tortillas every day, strolling mariachis, and an atmosphere that’s unfailingly festive. Then there’s the food. Most folks rave about the carnitas, and it is...

For authentic Mexican cooking, not the California-Mexican stuff that’s so abundant in Southern California, head to Ortega’s. Owned by a former police officer and a restaurateur from Puerto Nuevo with decades of experience, the place has cornered the market on fresh, “gourmet” Mexican cuisine. The tableside guacamole preparation is fun to watch...
