The deals are available in the cantina, toward the back of the restaurant where a motley group of happy, chatty customers were gathered at the smallish bar upon my visit. Like the main dining room, the walls are painted in vibrant, primary colors, although the cantina comes with a visual bonus of numerous photographs showing San Diego in its early days.<\/p>\n None of them are dated, but one photo captures an outdoor ad board listing houses for sale. Among them is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom stucco in Mission Hills priced at $5,250. In disbelief, I couldn\u2019t help but wonder how much my tall, icy margarita would\u2019ve cost back then.<\/p>\n Made with fresh-pressed lemon and lime juices in lieu of cloying sweet-and-sour mix, it\u2019s priced at $7, a buck less than usual. For 50 cents extra, you can upgrade to a margarita made with Milagro Silver Tequila. Mine featured Bar Code Tequila, which I didn\u2019t mind given that its inherent sharp bite became completely muted in the drink\u2019s refreshing citrus element.<\/p>\n While ferociously swapping tortilla chips through the silky green salsa \u2014 made with serrano chilies, cilantro and garlic \u2014 I awaited the arrival of a dish that is only available in the bar during happy hour. They\u2019re called mulitas.<\/p>\n As explained by Abner, a most welcoming bartender, they\u2019re basically quesadillas using corn tortillas instead of flour and filled with cheese and a choice of meat. I opted for carnitas, served in a pair for $3.50.<\/p>\n By the time I had eaten half the portion, I began planning in my head a repeat visit to order them again. They were incredibly savory and a swell match to tequila.<\/p>\n Other food options include guacamole, chicken rolled tacos and jalapeno poppers.<\/p>\n As for the margarita, a cocktail I tend to drink only during summer in establishments that don\u2019t make them too sweet or sour, I\u2019ll gladly order that again too since the bar\u2019s small selection of rotating craft beers can wait until I drop in for one of Jimmy Carter\u2019s full Mexican meals.<\/p>\n Bebidas: 4<\/strong> Comida: 5<\/strong> Valor: 4<\/strong> Servicio: 5<\/strong> Ambiente: 4<\/strong> By Dr. Ink Named after the owner, who is not related to the former president, Jimmy Carter\u2019s has been around since 1991 and offers some of the best green salsa and carnitas dishes in town.

CALIFICACIONES:<\/h3>\n
\nIn lieu of sweet-and-sour mix, the margaritas are made with fresh-pressed lemons and limes, which result in a noticeably more refreshing drink. The craft beer list is limited to four taps plus several bottled imports and domestics. The wines are from Fetzer.<\/p>\n
\nThe complimentary table chips were fresh and the accompanying salsas are some of the best in town, especially the green version. Even better were the mulitas with carnitas and melted jack cheese inside.<\/p>\n
\nYou\u2019ll save a dollar or two on food and drinks during happy hour, which isn\u2019t bad considering the regular prices aren\u2019t severe.<\/p>\n![\"Mulitas](\"https:\/\/sduptownnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Jimmy-Carters-sidebar.png\")
\nA waitress greeted me promptly at the entrance and led me into the bar lounge, where an outgoing bartender offered a warm welcome with a happy-hour menu in hand.<\/p>\n
\nThe restaurant inside and out is more colorful than all the Mexican eateries in Old Town combined.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
