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.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs. If you'd like to send me a message or comment, please do so at; maggie@hungryones.com We just celebrated our 14th Anniversary this October 2016!! So exciting!! 2015 A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting. Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.
