Absolutely loved meandering around the market and checking out all the handmade goods. Ate at Coyote Cafe, which was wonderful and fresh.

Just a wonderful atmosphere to be enjoyed overall, from the gorgeous landscaping and flowers to the tall palm trees. Just wonderful old southwest 'flavor'. We really enjoyed the Casa De Reyes Restaurant for lunch (see our review if you like) and all the wonderful shops. Very unique shops at that, from a root beer store to a licorice store. Both... More

Loved the Old Town historic sights. The food in the restaurant/cafes nearby was very decent. A lot of gift shops and history to see/read through. Great family activity as strolling around the grounds and learning about the beginnings of San Diego.

I've been to Old Town before, but was disappointed this time. The restaurants were nice but there weren't as many shops as I remember, and it just seems drab and unexciting this time.

If you are looking for unique gifts or souvenirs, a... More

It took us 20 minutes to find parking on a Sunday afternoon so my expectations were high that his was the place to be! Not so much. A bunch of cheesy overpriced stores and restaurants mixed in. Historic info was interesting but not worth the time.

Lots of shopping and many choices of Mexican Restaurants, fun for the whole family, but after dark it's definitely a college town.
