    Old Mexico Mexican Restaurant - Lunch Special Beef Chimichanga

    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?

    Nothing to brag about this place except for the service. The food was not good at all. It had a…read moresmell to it like some sort of cleaning product. Chips and salsa wasn't that good either. Texas Mexican food has spoiled me I guess.

    Came in town for a baby shower and wanted to grab some food so we came here to have some Mexican…read morecuisines. 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.

    Waited 20 minutes for a waitress to come take our order when there were only 3 other tables of…read morecustomers there. After she took our order we never saw her again. Someone said they had seen her leave. The salsa tasted like plain tomato sauce with a few small strips of onion. No cilantro or seasonings. The chips were thin and crispy and were good though. A busboy or cook brought the food out. The Chicken Relleno Quesadilla only had chicken and cheese. Grilled onions, peppers, tomatoes, and beans were missing from the quesadilla. The side of refried beans was cold. The guacamole, sour cream, and lettuce salad was also missing on the side. Flagged a cook down and told him the order wasn't correct. He knew what was ordered but I still showed him on the menu. 15 minutes later he brought the plate back. By this time, others were basically finished eating so they had to wait on me. Only onions and peppers had been added to the quesadilla. The rest was still the same. The side of refried beans tasted bitter and had no salt. They were awful and inedible for me. The quesadilla tasted ok but would've been a whole lot better with the other missing ingredients. This is the 2nd time we've eaten here and we've been disappointed both times with the food and this time with bad service without the waitress. We don't plan on going back and definitely wouldn't recommend.
