They are now known as Lumbre and Old Mexico is not its name anymore, haven’t been to the new place but old Mexico was great

Won't be back. Sad such a good restaurant is going through this. Air conditioner dripping from the sealing, they didn't mind but this means it's not insulated correctly. Great way to get sick if it drips in your food. Friend ordered something, it was far too salty to eat, sent it back after he had a couple of bites, but they didn't take it off the bill. Tacos with corn tortillas are half the size of the flour, but the same price. The chicken on the tacos looked like it was from a can, had no seasoning. Too expensive to taste this bad.The server was excellent, the whole wait staff was very good. The kitchen staff needs to be retrained or replaced. I didn't want to post this because I have been coming here since I was a kid. It's never been like this. I don't mind paying high dollar for food, but it has to be better than what I can make at home.Please get it straightened out. I want to support this restaurant. I can tolerate alot, but the food has to be good.

Left a review on their FB page as many members of the community have. They block honest legitimate reviews when they don't agree with you and hide comments. At least they started realizing we're telling the truth and asked for feedback but I got blocked for mine even though it was the same as those when they asked for it. The owners need to learn to take criticism. They've been deleting their stuff on Facebook so this is being left here for posterity.The beans rice salsa and food in general was awful. They are changing there menu and have changed their menu since then allegedly but I can't say I will go after being blocked. At least I did my part and was honest. Oh well.

I really wanted to like this restaurant and support a local business, but I would definitely not return. The chips were good but generic restaurant chips. Salsa was the best part of the meal. The entrees were flavorless and not worth the price. The interior was very appealing and the service was great. However, the food could not be classified as Mexican, Spanish, Tex-Mex, or anything of good flavor. The menu from the previous tenant, Old Mexico, was far better

The “updates” to this restaurant we’re nice and simple however, I felt very exposed in the restaurant.There were no booths, no private area to gather and feel like you weren’t dining with the people beside you.We had a party of 8 with all different entrees. No one ate the food, unfortunately.
I've been holding off on this one, as I wanted to ponder what I should say. This particular restaurant replaced a "previous" Mexican establishment that really wasn't very good. With the new restaurant opening, I had high hopes that it would be different in a good way. When we walked in, the upgrades were obvious and well received. Unfortunately, we were quite taken aback when we realized that they were using the same menu and with the same name as the previous occupant. Unfortunately, I have had the luxury of sampling some very good Mexican cuisine..This was not. We should have known something was amiss when our waiter told us that he did not eat the food.Just to be fair, the food really wasn't that bad. We were just anticipating something better. Will I go back? It could happen. You go and judge for yourself.
