Old Town Mexican Cafe

2489 San Diego Avenue San Diego, CA 92110

Stopped here for dinner after spending the afternoon on the Old Town Trolley tour. The tour is free for San Diego residents as of this writing. All you gotta do is show your ID.

This is the place where you can watch the busy ladies making fresh tortillas thru the glass window. Yes they are delicious! I tried both the corn and flour.

The best mole I’ve ever had was while on vacation in Akumal Mexico many years ago. This place makes a mean mole. My tastebuds were very happy, spicy with a hint of chocolate.

I ordered the chicken mole dinner, comes with beans and rice. Plus a mistletoe margarita. My only disappointment came when my drink arrived. Not a fan of the new way to serve margaritas. I look forward to the big fancy glass with the blended goodness inside. This was not to be. As mine was served in a small whisky glass with a few ice cubes. Tasted okay but again disappointed visually. I looked around and everyone else that ordered one was served the same way.   

I would definitely come back for the food but would not order another margarita here.
