Went in for lunch they had 7 tables with people at them. It took us 20 minutes to get our menus and drink orders in after being seated. Another 30 the kitchen staff came out to take our food order. 15 minutes after that the wait staff came back to verify our order. 30 minutes to get our food. At this point people who came in after us had already been served and left. We had to take our drinks to the bar to get refills. On top of that it was the worst burrito I have ever had. Completely bland. We will never go back.

First time here. Came in at lunch time was not that crowded. Very good food. The Shrimp Fajita was good and service as well. Will be back.

Food was delicious. The place was quiet for a Sunday afternoon, which was great because we got fast service and could hear conversation at the table. I had the Garden Benedict. Everything was great, I cleaned my plate! 10/10 would recommend again.

We arrived at around 8pm on a Saturday. For a weekend night, the place was pretty empty.

The food was great! The mole was authentic and the tomatillo sauce was good. The service was pretty terrible, though. My water glass was never refilled. We waited a long time to get served. It was almost like there was a language barrier.

With so many good Mexican restaurants around, I'm not sure how this one survives.

We visited on a Saturday afternoon when it was quiet and the dinner rush hadn’t started. We enjoyed the ford and quiet environment. I’m sure it’s a bit louder during busier times, but this is a good place for meeting friends.

It’s been 3 hours since I had lunch here today. I have had 2 mimosas, 1 beer and 1 margarita. I still can’t get the taste of the guacamole out of my mouth.

The enchiladas were bland, and the overall quality of the food was average . If the guys just got Trader Joe’s enchiladas it would’ve had more flavor. The service was great (1 star) and the interior/atmosphere was nice (1 star). The food quality would’ve been better if they just served microwave Mexican food.

My husband and I decided to pick up Mexican food to support a local restaurant as we normally cook. Our First visit to Old Mexico. We pulled up and the place looked a little run down or shut down but upon entering were about seven other patrons. Sanitation was questionable, but we were hungry and tired. Great waiter. We ordered to go and thankfully as we would've returned our food to the cook! Chili Relleno, Beef Burrito, Beef Taco & the smallest (desert plate size of rubbery calamari($14) I've ever seen). They looked like old fries. The meat in the taco and burrito was very salty and lacked actual flavor. The food was obviously similar to a frozen (tv) dinner. The beans and rice were tasteless! How could such an expensive lunch be so awful and called Old Mexico. We'll NEVER go back! 1st & Last visit. I'd rather cook!!

We had a group of 45 of us converge in them at the last minute. They were so accommodating. The service was excellent, and the food tasted amazing. It was way less crowded than I would expect for the quality of food and service, which worked out great for us. It was so good that several of us went back the next day before leaving town.The refried beans could be a little thicker, but they taste amazing.
