Old Town

AKA the best Mexican food you will find in So Cal. We went to Old Town Mexican Cafe, which is well known for the workers hand making fresh tortillas in the front window. They also have a whole menu for vegetarians (caution fellow veggies: make sure to only order off that menu, because they cook almost everything else with lard. Unfortunately that meant no Spanish rice for me, but I still got chips & salsa so I was a happy camper.) Next time, I would like to try Cafe Coyote– it had a great outside atmosphere and my sister and I ended up grabbing a churro to go which was absolutely delicious! Afterwards, we got a chance to check out the stores and do a little shopping. There’s so many great shops throughout Old Town with fun souvenirs from keychains to ponchos.
