Love this place. Warm homemade tortillas (flour and corn), beans and rice and tacos (made with homemade, fried corn tortillas) amazing. Wish we had something even remotely similar in Denver. 🙁 Every time we visit San Diego, OTMC is part of the plan.

Love this place...ribs, rotisserie chicken, homemade tortillas, and Mezcal! Ask for Will the bartender he rocks...he'll take good care of you. If you're in Old Town you should stop in.
