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.

Your tacos look delicious! Old town certainly has great Mexican restaurants!
You would love Casa De Reyes. The chips are awesome too!
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.
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.
