Restaurants near Old Town San Diego State Historical Park

Great food....service was excellent. Mylie our server was awesome. Friendly, very attentive, very welcoming.

Very cute entrance to the restaurant; great music played by the DJ (also the volume was low enough for you to enjoy the music while still being able to hear your date talk); the crispy plantains appetizer and sushi rolls were 5 star (so delicious); the drinks are super cute; the only con is that the tables are so tiny and close together. You can barely fit two sushi rolls on your table without fear of knocking something over—the waiters also struggle getting in between the tables with ease. Had a great time and will be back!

The food at Tahona was some of the best I’ve had. Very carefully prepared, creative without being pretentious. Lots of authentic flavors, definitely not your typical Mexican food. They explain about the sourcing of the ingredients, and it was just an awesome experience. (The Pozole was the “hidden gem”, very different from anything I’ve ever had, and it was fantastic.)

Mason took care of us. He was very professional definitely coming back!

We made last minute reservation and enjoyed a quiet lunch. We have always like going to Fred’s as it is a festival environment and fun to be there and hear the music and laughter of others. This time it was quiet due to it being a Monday afternoon and not much going on in the area. The food was very tasty and service great. And it was pleasant and relaxful to enjoy lunch in the unusual quiet environment . DJ
