    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
    Casa De Freds, Tacos y TequilaResponded on 27 December 2024
    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 :)

    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 14 December 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

    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 26 November 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 :)
