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
