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.

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.

Great time! We had a group of six. They have a round table in the corner which is perfect. You can enjoy the live entertainment and still have a conversation. Everyone loved their food and the top shelf margarita pitchers were delish. The server and owner were attentive making sure we enjoyed our experience.

Amazing art on the walls, excellent house margaritas, and the food was very good. Also, while I didn't get the fajitas, someone at the table next to us got them and it smelled spectacular. Raciel was a great waiter!!

Food is good but prices are extremely high for what it is. Veggie burrito for $17, three taco dinner$16. If you want something more substantial get ready to dish out $50 for the carne asada or $32 for the Camarones Diablo! Simply insane pricing.
