   Definitely glad we made reservations! It was Christmas night and super busy! Our server was great. Food was good, got a Carnitas taco and it was gushy and had no pork taste. We decided it was pot roast not carnitas! Very disappointed. The white rice was interesting, never seen that at a Mexican restaurant before. Beans were good. The other taco I had was delicious! I think it was called the Gringo. I will go back just for that taco!! Overall it was a good night! We will be back

   Gracias Melanie for leaving us a review! Christmas Day is always a bustling holiday so we appreciate your patience during your visit with us. We are thrilled you enjoyed the Gringo Taco but we will definitely be checking our spice cabinet to make sure our Carnitas has some more kick to it! Our Cilantro Lime White Rice pairs great with our housemade black or pinto beans but we can understand if you were craving other Mexican rice...we hope it didn't disappoint! We appreciate you for taking the time to leave us a valuable review from your Christmas dinner experience and don't worry, the Gringo tacos will be here waiting for you Melanie :)

   Great food and fun atmosphere right on the Main Street. Dog friendly patio I think

   We were very happy with our meal there. We sat by sidewalk and it was pretty and warm with the fires. The food was great! The service was also amazing:)

   $2.95 for chips and salsa after your first basket. This has been my to go place since 2007, but seems like the food has taken a step back and the portions are smaller than before. Going to find a new go to place when visiting San Diego.
   

   Casa De Freds, Tacos y TequilaResponded on December 14, 2024

   Oh no John, we're sorry we disappointed you! Due to rising food costs, our first basket of chips and salsa are complimentary while there is a small charge for an additional basket. We have noticed your low star rating for food and service - would you mind reaching out to us with specifics about what you ordered and when you visited us so we can address the appropriate people to fix this for future guest' experiences? We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your feedback.

   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

   We chose Fred’s for our dog, Ziggy. The staff were more than accommodating - they are dog lovers and people persons, making us all feel at home. Great food, pure pleasure!
   

   Casa De Freds, Tacos y TequilaResponded on November 26, 2024

   Of course Ziggy is more than welcome and I bet, knowing our staff, the pupper was the star of the show! We are beyond thrilled you had such an amazing time with us Cheryl and hopefully Ziggy was spoiled and ordered something off of our doggy menu! Thank you so much for your rating and review; we'll see you next time you're in Old Town :)

   Fred’s is the best of truly wonderful Mexican food to be found in Old Town. Dee our waiter was awesome and made great drink and food recommendations!

   Taco Tuesday didn’t disappoint. Added in the street corn which is delicious. Love the outdoor firewall and how dog friendly this place is.

   Gracias Andra! Taco Tuesday is a staple in San Diego and we're honored you chose our restaurant to celebrate! Street Corn - YUM! Firewall during this chilly time of year - YES PLEASE! Dogs - OBVIOUSLY :) Thank you so much for your review and we hope to see you soon for another fiesta!

    Took the granddaughters to lunch prior to the play at the Cygnet - nice walk to restaurant and the staff were attentive and the food excellent. Such a lively fun place to have lunch prior to Rocky Horror!!

    Phylicia we are more than thrilled that you and your granddaughters had such a wonderful time with us! Delicious food, superb service, and a fun atmosphere sound like a great way to start a fun afternoon before Rocky Horror :) "Let's do the Time Warp again!" and come back next time you're in Old Town!
