Mom celebrated her 92nd. They blasted Cumpleaños for her and then spread whipped cream on her nose. Fun times!

This is some of the best seafood food I’ve ever had. Every item is perfectly balanced every order from the enchiladas to the burritos to the seasoned grilled peppers fajitas. Everything was perfectly balanced.

We had a pick up order. I ordered the fish tacos (tilapia) and my husband order enchiladas trios. The tilapia besides it being way to big and hanging out the corn tortillas it was very greasy and tasted and smelled fishy. It was the worst fish taco I have ever had. My husband complained his food dry and tasteless. No we didn't have sit down service but does that mean our food had to be bad. And don't let me start with the prices.

Delicious. Standard Mexican fare which and also some interesting specials. I believe my shrimp was in a red wine and cranberry sauce. There was more to it than that and it was completely unique and delicious. My friend had enchiladas, delicious. The table tortilla sauce was unusual, quite unique and delicious. Margarita pitcher was poured strong.

I'm me

Mom's Old Recipe is a hidden gem where tradition meets innovation. Their steak enchiladas are simply unparalleled, offering a perfect blend of tender steak, flavorful sauce, and melted cheese that melts in your mouth with each bite. It's a dish that embodies the essence of home-cooked comfort and culinary expertise.

But that's just the beginning of the culinary journey at Mom's. Their salsa, served with crispy chips, is a revelation. It's the best I've ever had in my entire life! It's a perfect accompaniment that enhances every dish and sets the stage for an unforgettable meal.

Beyond their exceptional enchiladas and salsa, Mom's has also redefined the margarita experience. Maria's was once the standard-bearer for margaritas, but Mom's has now stepped into the ring with a contender that promises to steal the show. Their margaritas are expertly crafted, striking a flawless balance of tangy lime, smooth tequila, and just the right touch of sweetness.

Can't wait for my next date night to come back !!

This was our first time here and it was fantastic! The dj was a bit loud, but it was Cinco de Mayo, so we'll give them that :) Had the prickly pear margarita with dinner and it was fabulous! Will definitely be back!

Popped in for dinner and the service was absolutely wonderful. We tried the tortilla soup and steak fajitas. Portions are decent but pricing was way too high in my opinion.
