Jimmy Carter's Mexican Cafe - San Diego

Had the Carna Asada plate, the meat was tender and tasteful. The Mexican rice was great and to wash a nice cold IPA. Fast and friendly service, Calm as soon as we arrived...

The staff at this restaurant is very lively and friendly, and the food is excellent! It truly feels like being in Mexico when you dine here. The decor of the restaurant is also beautiful. If you're in the area, you definitely need to visit this place!

Mexican food like it should be. Have you ever walked into a place where the employees greet you but you just know they're not being sincere? This is not the place. You know they're happy to see you. They want to serve you the best food their kitchen can put out, and they deliver. I was in San Diego for a conference and someone recommended Jimmy Carter's for breakfast. I made the mile trip (walking) and it was well worth it. The chorizo scramble was just the right serving size, along with rice and your choice of black or pinto beans. Corn tortillas sealed the deal. It was delicious, nutritious, and it did not ruin my budget for the day. The waiters were friendly, attentive, and offered good suggestions. I highly recommend this place if you want to have some authentic Mexican food.

The food was great. The server took time to discuss a few dishes with us to help us decide on our order. It is a friendly place with excellent food.

A popular choice for locals. This was my first time visiting and I will definitely be back next time I'm in San Diego. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of my food because it was so delicious and disappeared quickly. The variety of sauces was also very tasty.
