    Great food, pet friendly patio

    We visited Fred’s with our dachshund Pepper. They have tons of outdoor tables and provide water bowls. AND they even have a dog menu! Pepper gave it two paws up and us humans agree. Try the queso, it’s delicious!

    Great place

    Came here with our 2 golden retrievers. We were provided with a water bowl and ordered the Snoopy’s Scramble for both of our pups. They loved their meals! All of the staff were super dog friendly and gave our dogs lots of attention. Overall a great place to dine with your dogs and I highly recommend!

    Friendly, and delicious

    I came here with my hubby, mother -in- law and my pup. The service was friendly and there was no wait. We had a bean and cheese burrito, tacos mahi mahi and a chicken tostada. The portions were generous and delicious. The beans and rice were also yummy. They have a menu for dogs and my pup had the Cujo carne asada. It smelled so good and it was a large portion. I recommend this place for all those visiting Old Town, San Diego. One thing, parking is a bit difficult on weekends. Stay off the main drag and park on the residential streets.

    Great chow for everyone!

    Their food is awesome AND they have a doggy menu. They will bring your pups a water bowl on their dog friendly patio as soon as you are seated.

    Awesome And Friendly

    We visited Fred’s Mexican Cafe on a busy Saturday for late lunch with our two Great Dane puppies. We were seated on the patio at a nice big table. Our dogs were a little overwhelmed since it was their first time dining at a restaurant. However, they settled down and drank the quickly served dish of fresh water. The service was fast and friendly. The food was great. The atmosphere was upbeat. Everyone was kind to our dogs. We will be back with our dogs soon.

    Awesome Stop!

    Food is amazing, their tortillas are phenomenal and their dog patio is for real. Definitely our new most favorite San Diego spot both including family and furry friends, and as a date night.

    Good For Dogs

    First visit, loved that they are dog friendly. They have a menu for the dogs, bring them water and foos in their own individual bowls. The food for humans is not great. We had the Queso Dip and Chips, that was exceptionally delicious. But our main dishes, two Chilaquiles plates and one California Burrito lacked so much flavor and authenticity. Great place to get a meal for your dog, not so much for the humans!

    Alright

    It was a fun atmosphere at Fred's and dogs are allowed on the patio. There was spilled water and wet chips beneath our table which we did not want our dogs laying in. There is a dog menu and our dogs had the flank steak. They were given a lot and they enjoyed it! For the human food it was not that good. Not horrible but would not return.

    Relaxing after beach

    After a day at Dog's Beach. This was the place to go. When we got there we were seated in the patio, where our server brought a big bowl of water for our dogs. They handed us our menus. 1 for us and 1 for the dogs. This was a surprise. The fajitas are awesome and our dogs had Chicken and fries served to them in dog bowls. It would equal the price of a kids meal. The services was great and walking through Old Town after made the perfect end to our day.
