- SSARAVIPSan Diego •135 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWow! This was our first time visiting Ortega’s and we were impressed with the great tasting Mexican food. It was like being in Baja, MX except we didn’t have to cross the border. The Casamigo margaritas, table side guacamole, steak tacos and steak burrito with extra beans was delicious. We will definitely be back. Excellent!More infoOrtega's A Mexican BistroPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Hillcrest•4.6

- MMelanieSan Diego •59 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 26, 2024Definitely 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 backMore infoCasa De Freds, Tacos y TequilaPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Old Town•4.5
