Jimmy Carter's Cafe Restaurant Review

Jimmy Carter's Mexican Café serves up hefty portions of Mexican and American fare in a homespun décor, a cut above coffee shop standards. Handsomely arranged plates almost sag under the weight of such copious breakfasts as buckwheat pancakes, chicken-fried steak or country-style ham with eggs, and a variety of Mexican specialties like huevos rancheros and chilaquiles. At lunch, sandwiches,...

International comfort foods have made this affordably priced cafe a crowd favorite.

In Short
The homespun name (after its owner, not a former White House resident) and cozy ambience are a surprising contrast to the eclectic menu at this popular eatery situated a stone's...

One of the highlights of Jimmy Carter’s is supposed to be the calamari. While I thoroughly enjoyed my taste of it when I visited years ago, I found the current version to be much too salty.

Jimmy Carter's Mexican Cafe is one of the restaurants I always enjoy when I am in San Diego and one of the few I make a special effort to go to. The interior is very bright and colorful and the wait staff is super, always helpful and attentive making you feel comfortable and appreciated. Its a great location for breakfast...

I ordered a veggie omelet with a hash brown. Delicious. My omelet was veggie packed and the hash brown was crispy, cooked all the way through. I know omelets are simple to make, but there was something about this one that was the most delicious I've had in a long time from a restaurant. Oh and their salsas were flavorful....

Just north of the Gaslamp is this presidential-style café. Mongolian beef, vindaloo and straight-up café-style sandwiches are available here. Despite its location, this café seems to bend the pricey rule of the Gaslamp.

Here you`ll find a café that serves American dishes.

Eating & Drinking: Both beer and wine are served.

Ways to Pay: Cash, MasterCard, Visa and American Express

No, not the former US President. Jimmy Carter in this instance is a local restaurateur who wanted to provide a casual neighborhood eatery inexpensive but tasty food and friendly service. He succeeds on both counts. At first glance, the menu is a bit odd, including a hodge podge of international dishes. The standouts, though, are Mexican in origin. And though all the food is good, breakfast is...
