This hole-in-the-wall locale is a unique and incredible restaurant of San Diego. I have come here for dinner for years every time I am in town, and it never disappoints. Keep in mind it does close earlier than some dinner restaurants (last call is 7:30). However, I recommend anyone who loves authentic Mexican food to make Jimmy Carter's a stop on their trip.
Parking: You must park along the street as there is few lots in the area. The spots are metered...

My only criticism was that my burrito was drenched in the sauce I ordered. Next time I will ask for sauce on the side or no sauce at all.
