That stuck us in the back where they must stash the tourists so no atmosphere. Food was cold when it arrived. Taste was adequate. Service was slow. And inattentive. The margarita was ok. Won’t go back.

We love Old Town Mexican Cafe! We’ve been coming for over 25 years!!! The food is always great, service is good and they don’t mind plate sharing!! If you are there and there’s a line, get your name in...it’s worth the wait!! The salsa and homemade tortillas are amazing! We love waiting for our table and watching the gifted ladies make tortillas...it makes one appreciate them even more seeing all the hard work!!! We never eat anywhere else but here!

I didn’t get the hype. We drove from Huntington Beach. My daughter and son in law love this place. Asada was Ok, appetizer was good fresh tortillas fabulous. Beans and rice average at best. Had a michelada to drink and that was average as well. Notice I said a not more than one. Service was ok, my Son inlaw asked for a to go Pepsi. Server came back with an empty plastic cup �. I won’t be going back good thing it’s placed In old town and I didn’t have to pay. The sight seeing made up for the drive.
