Limited menu but good food. The chips and salsa were fresh and tasted Great. Flan and chiros for dessert, no fried ice cream! 😩

Really 3.5 stars
The initial maitre d' was pleasant. It was fairly empty so seating was quick. We placed our order and received chips and salsa then waited and waited. I asked for more because of the long wait and the waitress was going to charge extra.
The mgr gave us the chips and said the order had to be remade. Both of them?
The food was pretty good,even though she failed to give me sour cream, but charged me for it.

We go here for the taco Tuesday special and they have a great Cadillac Margarita that I enjoy. Look for it to be busy on Tuesdays as it's a very popular place. It's also very delicious and the service is excellent. A lot less expensive than most of the other places that we have tried for tacos on tuesday.

We visited Old Town for the Dia de los Muertos celebrations and came to Fred’s for lunch. Given the celebrations I assumed it would be busy and was very happy I booked a reservation earlier that week because the wait line was long. If you have a reservation you can skip the line and go straight to the host stand. The hostess was kind, welcoming, and got us seated right away.
Our waitress was attentive, and brought us waters and complimentary chips and salsa shortly after being seated. She was quick to get our orders in and did great at checking in periodically throughout our lunch.
I ordered the Chicken Tostada Salad and it was delicious. The spicy black bean dip at the bottom really makes it! Would definitely recommend if you are in the mood for a good salad.
My only complaint was how loud the live music was. The artist had a great voice and everything sounded good, it was just very, very loud. We were sitting at an outdoor table right by one of the speakers, so if seated further away from the speakers, you may not notice the sound level as much.

I recently popped into this venue for a quick drink during happy hour and it was well worth it. They had good deal and super friendly staff. I enjoyed our drinks and appetizers. Grabbing a seat at the bar was great and they had plenty of sitting for dining as well. Great spot for eating and people watching. I’d highly recommend.

OMG, I have always loved Mexican cuisine but gotta tell you that Freds make me wanna eat Mexican 7 days a week without worrying about gaining calories. The food was so delicious and authentic, and their service was also great. I ordered Fajita Carne de Asada which was very well cooked with their homemade tortilla bread, they also brought me a free tortilla chips and salsa as an appetizer

Came here because it was dog friendly, and left with to-go boxes of good food. They have a doggy menu, great margaritas and they use that distinct San Diego tortilla. Loved all of it.

Fun spot for Mexican food in Old Town. Service was great. Huge portions on the Nachos and Rolled Tacos appetizers. Kids meals for 8.00 seem like a bargain in Old Town.

Great food and excellent service. This place is super cute and the food was very filling and delicious. We ordered the beef chilli and a chicken salad to share between two. There was plenty for both of us and we definitely didn't need afters.

Food was good. Best part was not that they were dog friendly but how nice they were to my pup. He got better service than the humans got. Only kind of joking.
