Old Town Mexican Cafe, San Diego

Perhaps the most-popular Mexican restaurant in San Diego, the Old Town Mexican Cafe wins all the best restaurant surveys. It’s famous for carnitas (marinated pork) served with tortillas fresh from the grill, beans and rice, and a tray of condiments including cilantro, onions and guacamole. One of the best San Diego restaurants for breakfast hangover cures (served all day) include an egg-and-chorizo taco and saucy chilaquiles (fried tortilla strips in red sauce) with fried eggs. The restaurant keeps expanding to outdoor patios and more dining rooms, but that never seems to shorten the lines of patrons waiting for tables.
