stop halfway through whatever you are eating here, and you'll be fine. some serious garlic in the guac . but yummy all the way!
Authentic old town Mexican stop. Make sure you go for Taco Tuesday . Parking will be super busy in Old Town so make sure you get there early and bring your patience.
The food is good, good portion size, tasty salsa ! The patio is dog friendly and they have a dog menu too! Sizzler fajita is good to try..
The margarita and portion sizes are astounding. We decided to come here when the line for Coyote Cafe was out the door --safe to say, we weren't disappointed!
Fun atmosphere inside restaurant at night & location is great (Old Town ). Love their California burrito , quesadilla , chips & salsa . Good service too.
#7. 3 different tacos , black beans ,and rice is great. Order the"KA" margarita strong but tasty
The shrimp diablo made me sweat. Awesome! A little hectic during Taco Tuesday though.
Be sure to get here early in taco Tuesday , it fills up quick. Also check in on yelp for free queso !
Best place for taco Tuesday . Get the surf and turf taco and the house margarita !
If your bar tender is Jeff or Sam, tip them well they are by far the best here. All of them are good but these two are fantastic!
Bar tenders are great polite and friendly . Jeff is probably the best. Tip well . They work for it. Honestly my fav place to eat.
Not the best for food but AWESOME jumbo marg for a great price during Happy hour ! It's worth it for a pre dinner drink at a discount .
Chicken Chingaderas are to die for. If you're looking for healthy... San Diego Salad is the way to go!
Great place to enjoy good food, great drinks, and have outstanding service ! It's dog friendly with a great vibe!
The torta asada is super good, but I hated that they served it with chipotle sauce and French fries . It makes it seem so much less authentic !
Wait not bad, excellent waitress , delicious nachos , fish tacos & carnitas not so good, good Horny Grandma Margarita !
2 tacos for $11 includes generous helping of rice & black beans . Good amount of food
I really enjoyed the service here. Samone was our server and made a specialty non-alcoholic drink for me. Very cool!! Even the hostesses were friendly . Food was pretty basic.
Good margaritas . A nice place to get a drink with friends during the week
The strongest margaritas in town ! And only cost $7! Can't beat that!
Best place in Old Town for Taco Tuesday ! Expect a wait longer than what the hostess tells you, though. Worth the wait!
My wife and I went to Fred's in Old Town .Worst service ever. We sat down. Four other families sat down after us. The four other families where served first. We go to Fred's all the time. Food is good
Good food nice servers and dog friendly can't get much better
It was a great experience. The wait staff was courteous polite and prompt without being overbearing. Not sure what others are complaining about.
Cajun Shrimp Tacos !!! And the House Margaritas are amazing!!!
Check in on yelp and get a free queso dip !
Get the Mango Rita! You won't regret it! Plus they come back half way through the drink and offer a half time half shot!
Great service. The queso dip is awesome. Loved the cool twist on Mexican food

Come here during happy hour ! The best margaritas for 5$!!!
cheeseburger taco so yummy.. great drinks.
Great margaritas !!! Buffalo chicken tacos = amazing!
Queso dip is yummy!
Sit outside at the bar and pray that Joe is slinging drinks.
Perfect place to get ur drinks on while waiting on ur table a block away at Harneys sushi . So perff.
Amazing margaritas here! Love the atmosphere
I love the dog friendly atmosphere !
Good spot for a cheap strong margaritas . Service is a little lacking though.
The food was great but the wait time to be seated was ridiculous.
$2 tacos & cheap prices on beer and shots on Taco Tuesdays !
Totally chill before happy hour .
ask for the chipotle salsa...better and doesn't taste so much like ketchup like the regular one. but amen on the margaritas . :-)
Try the surf and turf enchiladas . Dog friendly on the outside patio !
The patio is dog friendly which is awesome.
Sat there for 10 minutes with a family of six. No one even came by to say hi or take drink orders. Left and went across the street to Cafe Coyote where we we served immediately and food is better.
Nice place to relax in the sun with a cold cerveza .
One of my top choices for Taco Tuesday. They have great food all around and cheap drinks during special times. The line might seem long but, they move through it very quickly!! Delicious tortillas - Lyndsi Winer
The carne asada burrito and the bean and cheese burrito are really good. - Paul Ellis
Excellent food feels authentic. Ask to sit outside beautiful tree is the focal point. - Whitney Drake
Love coming here for salt water taffy, bulk tea and some of the best Mexican food In the world! Lots of history and interesting shops. - Jeremy Anslow
So cool want to come back when they do the evening tours. So much history for San Diego. A must along with the Cosmopolitan Hotel. - Toni Gutierrez
I really like the vibe of this place and the staff is top notch but 8 bucks for a Modelo takes me down the street to Home & Away. Probably the coolest bar in Old Town but the prices are just crazy. - Ben Pierce
