    $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
    Casa De Freds, Tacos y TequilaResponded on December 14, 2024
    Donna, thank you so much for such a lovely review! We are so happy to hear that everything during your visit with us was wonderful! From the food, to the service, and the relaxing atmosphere for a Monday afternoon. We are immensely grateful for your review and we hope to see you sooner than later amiga! :)

    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 :)

    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!!
