The enchiladas are a must-try, consistently delicious. Enjoy a top-shelf margarita pitcher while listening to live music - it elevates the experience! Always a hit for family dinners or quick bites... Can't wait to return!

Mom's Old Recipe is a delightful gem for anyone craving authentic Mexican food! 🌮 The cozy atmosphere is perfect for groups, and we loved the round table in the corner, allowing for great conversations while enjoying live music.

The top-shelf margarita pitchers were a hit, and the enchiladas I ordered were truly awesome! I’ve tried numerous dishes, but the comfort and quality never disappoint.

Raciel was an attentive server, making sure we all had a wonderful experience. 🍹 If you're in the area, definitely drop in for a memorable meal! I can't wait to go back.
