Overall 2.5 Stars - Explanation below…read more A local and staple establishment that has been around for over 10 years in Philadelphia, MS. It has been years since I've been here and we went there for lunch cuz the other Mexican restaurant was closed on Tuesday. Ambiance 3 Stars - a large dining area when you enter through the double-glass doors. You are greeted by the host to one of the many tables or booths. The area is broken into two sections: a smaller dining space that has at least twenty tables and the much larger main dining area where there more booths and large tables. The art deco is your typical Hispanic decoration and they are nice and cute. Not too gaudy. Service - 3 stars: our server was pleasant and professional. However she was tired and was responsible with many tables. She wrote and verified our orders. The drinks arrived within 5 minutes. The supporting staff were professional and helped when needed. The food arrived 20 minutes afterwards due to the lunch rush. Food: 1 - 2 Stars Out of respect, I didn't take any pictures of other entrees except my own. Salsa 1 star and Chips 2.5 stars The salsa was not appetizing at all. The tomatoes and herbs had a funky taste and I asked the other people's opinion on it too. They all agree with my assessment. It tasted like a can of "stewed tomatoes" blended to a liquid matter to become "salsa". The chips were a lot better and we enjoyed our basket until the entrees arrived. I had the Lunch Beef Chimichanga w beans. 2 Stars. I asked for the queso Blanca as a side. I don't like my chimi to be drowned in queso. The dish came w lettuce, guacamole and sour cream. The chimi's fillings were shredded beef, queso, and beans. Beans - 1 star Before I tried the chimi, I scooped up a healthy load of beans with my chips and I gagged on the salty beans. Fortunately I had my tea to swallow to cleanse my mouth. Now for the chimichanga. 2 stars Presentation wise, the chimichanga looked good and I was ready to dive into it. The tortilla's outside crust was flaky and golden brown. The guacamole was on one side and the lettuce on the other side. However, when I took the first bite, my expectation went from "high to low" upward smiley face to downward smily face. It was salty, salty, salty. The cheese and beef couldn't hide the amount of salt that was in the beans. Even the guacamole and sour cream couldn't help it. I asked the other members of the party and they said their food was salty too. Half of the party ate their food and I ate most of the chimichanga. Saving grace was the sour cream, lettuce and guacamole. I didn't touch the beans. Because of the busy lunch crowd and getting back to work, I forgot to mention to management and our server on the salty beans. That was my fault because I believe we should respectfully and calmly explain our disappointment with the food. As a previous professional in the restaurant industry I believe professional criticism is a sign to improve on an area of weakness. I am my own worst critic when I make my own food. Now would I come back again, I don't know. Can I recommend this place? The ambiance, server and staff were decent and I would if I was getting a drink instead of food. But for now, I don't recommend Old Mexico, however this is my own personal opinion. There are many loyal customers of Old Mexico and they may know something that I don't. Send me a comment if you have experienced Good or Bad food. Also, is there another restaurant I should try in Philly?

The…read morechips were a bit thicker than I prefer and the salsa was just okay, but the beans and two-taco lunch special were outstanding. My only gripe--and it seems to happen everywhere--is that by the time I got to my second hard-shell taco, it had started falling apart from the moisture on the plate and in the meat. Definitely better than dry tacos, but still a little messy (funny how that never happens at home!). Overall, great experience and great service--I'll absolutely be back!

So this place was not the cleanest the walls were filthy at our both looks like some kids had a food fight but we looked passed it and decided to stay. Bad choice. So we ordered our food no problem i ordered chicken tacos something simple. My tacos came out and they definitely were not chicken turns out it was steak. Now to some people they would be delighted but not when you just had a detox from red meat so thanks for ruining that. Took some time to get someone back to the table to let them know my order was wrong and by then the food was cold anyways. I sent the tacos back and ordered French fries you can't mess that up right. WRONG! The fries were undercooked and pale as ever. I ended up eating nothing because I refuse to eat food from a place I have to send the food back multiple times at that point it's time to throw in the white flag. My niece food she said was ok she had steak with rice and beans but the steak lacked flavor. My sister had steak tacos she ate them because she was hungry but again no flavor. They also charged like $5 for some hot sauce which was strange so no condiments with tacos they just want you to eat them dry?! Overall bad experience will never return.
