Great Mexican food in Madison, Al. My grandsons love it, too.

The food is good. Not delicious like it use to be. There are no garishments on dishes like there use to be to dress up the plates. You get exactly what you ask for. Very good food. The service use to be excellent. They seem a little short staffed lately. But the food is good. Complimentary chips and spicy salsa is good. The food doesn't have the wow factor anymore. I still eat there about once every couple months. So it's still good. Nice casual place.

Don't bother. We tried to order on Uber Eats. Our delivery driver sat for at least 20 minutes before canceling our order. I pass by this restaurant daily. They aren't busy so much that they can't fulfill take out orders. Smh.

Love the atmosphere. Quiet but had a good crowd. Food was great and the prices were fair. Looking forward to coming back again. Had the lunch special #3 . Salsa had a little kick but even my wife could eat it.
Vegetarian options: Some options but not a vegetarian restaurant. I am vegetarian and found options I could eat.

SCAM CENTRAL. Went two separate times and they attempted to scam two separate times.
Let me say that our waitress was out-of-this-world kind and the food was good. But the first time we went, they tried to argue with us when they double charged us for the cheese dip ( $7.50). This time, my husband and I both ordered Chimichangas. His chicken, mine shredded beef. When I tell you that my chimichanga was HALF THE SIZE of his, I’m not kidding. I asked the waitress and she went to ask the kitchen to which they replied that ‘ that is how they do it’ what? The manager ( I assume) ends up coming over trying to give every excuse in the world and I simply keep repeating myself because even to them, it was obvious that mine was significantly smaller. He proceeds to look at me dead in the eye and says he can take off TWO WHOLE DOLLARS!!! How generous omg.
My husband ends up saying that he can just take the whole plate back to which the man immediately turns to him and says ‘ well she is ok with it’ UHHH no I wasn’t.
Anyways, I understand these people are trying to penny pinch wherever they can, but don’t try to gaslight your customers into believing your lie. As good as the waitress herself was, I won’t be coming back. I would suggest she go to a better business.

My son was getting over being sick and was very hungry for Mexican food, and so I decided to treat the family. We were very pleased with the food, the service, and the overall experience at Old Mexico Cantina. My son ordered the street tacos. He was very happy with the taste, but did say it was a little spicy (haha). I ordered the Old Mexico Enchiladas. Delicious. My wife ordered the Fajita Quesadilla. I was surprised when she cleaned her plate! We've been to Old Mexico Cantina few times now. We're usually pleased with the food and the prices are very reasonable.
Kid-friendliness: Despite everyone in our house loving it, our young daughter is very picky sometimes and does not like Mexican food. She ordered the chicken fingers from the kid's menu. The size was quite large and probably a better value than the chicken fingers at most fast food places! It came with an insane amount of french fries. Recommend for those picky eaters!
Enchilada meat was overcooked and burnt. Waaaay too much enchilada sauce poured on top. Ordered tamales an they were covered with sauce which made them taste gross. Tortillas were not home made, store bought which is a shame for a Mexican restaurant. Overall I will not be going back there ever again. The waitress was nice and always coming to check on our table.

One of the best options for Mexican sit down in Madison. Consistently very good food and service. They're margaritas are excellent. I'm not impressed with their fajitas, but they're burritos are excellent as is several other entrees.
