Menu for The Alamo Mexican Cafe in San Diego, CA

Friendly people , good food , great hours, good location not far from the holiday inn if you're on vacation

It's in Old Town, so you expect a tourist trap, but not a tourist trap with indifferent food, a waiter who argues with you about... what you ordered, and where you will be charged for the item that they promised to take off the bill. There are countless goodrestaurants serving much better food in nicer environments all across San Diego. Do yourself and the rest of your party a favorand try one of them instead. Read more

This place is really cute, nice decor and the fresh rose on the table gives it a nice touch. Place was nearly empty for dinner... hours. The margaritas were watered down. I did not taste the lime or the tequila. Some of the worst "Mexican" food I've had.Food is tex mex, nothing authentic, very bland and doesn't taste fresh. Desserts are horrible. Our server was very rude, herefused to give me my change and asked for a tip. This place has so much potential but there's a no care vibe. It's a realshame. Read more

Who charges for chips and salsa at a Mexican food restaurant? I orderedfajitas and they came out on my plate, not sizzling on a flat iron skillet. In the last 30 years of going to Mexicanrestaurants I can't recall fajitas not being served on a iron skillet. I guess it was my fault for not reading reviews before. Read more
