We were in San Diego for 4 days to enjoy Seaworld, the Zoo and do some whale watching. We found Jimmy Carters Mexican Cafe on Google and it was about a mile from our rental apartment. We went for dinner and a drink the first night and we were so glad we went there. The food was amazing. It came out hot and fast. I had the carnitas adobo with beans and rice. The steak was flavorful and tender, the tortillas were freshly made and hot. My wife had a cheese enchilada with Colorado...read full review

Jimmy Carter's Mexican Cafe offers delicious food in a lively atmosphere. The shredded pork mole and Chili Rellano are standout dishes, made with authentic and flavorful Mexican flavors. The restaurant's attentive wait staff ensure a great dining experience. Guests have enjoyed the carnitas adobo with beans and rice, noting the steak is flavorful and tender, and the handmade tortillas are freshly made and hot. The cheese enchilada with Colorado (red) sauce has been praised as one of the best, while the nachos with shredded beef have been called possibly the best ever. The chicken tortilla soup is a popular starter, along with spicy carrots and addicting chips and salsa. The "Tlaquepaque" sauce is a recommended addition for enchiladas and crispy tacos. The menu now includes vegan options, such as seasoned meatless ground crumbles with strong garlic and citrus flavor, and the house marg is highly recommended for its strong taste. Visitors also enjoy the taco salad, and the restaurant's classic vibe and friendly service add to the experience. With a specials board featuring unique items, this popular San Diego spot continues to impress guests with great service and a nice location.
