Casa De Reyes

I love visiting Old Town.  Back in 1834 the Mexican government granted San Diego chartered town status.  Lots of historical buildings to check out.  My co-workers voted to have our monthly lunch at Casa De Reyes.

Lots of covered outdoor seating.  I appreciate all the big umbrellas to keep from getting sunburned.
The lunch menu was one page and easy to go through.  2 tacos for $18 or 3 tacos for $19?
I picked 3 tacos.  All the tacos came with a soft corn tortilla which had a nice mild corn flavor.  Tasted freshly made.
Carnitas had a delicious pork flavor.  Pork was tender and moist.
Beef was tender and had a very mild beef flavor.
Carne asada was tender and juicy.  Loved the bold flavor from the marinated beef.  This was my favorite taco.
Complimentary chips came from a warmer.
Chips were freshly fried and had a delicious fried corn flavor.  I loved the flavor of the seasoning but I wish it was more evenly distributed as some of the chips didn’t get any seasoning.  Was tempting to eat a couple baskets of chips but lunch was a huge amount of food.

  1. Your tacos look delicious! Old town certainly has great Mexican restaurants!

    1. You would love Casa De Reyes. The chips are awesome too!

  2. That’s always my problem – the chips. The tacos look and sound great. I’ve always enjoyed the enchiladas here and at Casa Guadalajara around the corner.

    1. They are wise not letting you just order 1 taco and then I could fill up on those delicious chips. I’ll have to try Casa Guadalajara. I love the lobster Puerto Neuvo style at Cafe Cayote.
