I haven't had Mexican this good since I was in El Paso Texas and close to the border. The salsa is absolutely fire. Do walk, run to this place. The ambiance is amazing and the service was phenomenal. I was very pleased with the food, service and general feeling of this place. Kind of sad that I don't live in Springfield. read more

Do yourself a favor- go to Cesar's Old Mexico! We were looking for a place to eat lunch and after reading the reviews decided to try Cesar's. You pull up into a beautiful lot, the building is a work of art in its own right. I'm very particular with my Mexican food, I know what I like and I know what I don't. I judge the salsa, chips and queso. And I can say they were wonderful appetizers. They also sell Coke products which is a huge plus in my corner. The menu is colorful and plentiful. I had an authentic South American style cheese pupusa. The corn tortilla was crispy and delicious. I will make a point of coming back! And you should make a point of going in! read more

My knock on this place: It's so loud. Did I say it's loud here? It's ridiculously loud. Anywhere you sit - it's nearly unbearable. Food is good. But you sure pay for it. And though good....its not that good. And sure not worth dealing with the noise level. read more

Amazing food & service!! The atmosphere and energy was top of the line! Fresh food and we didnt wait long for our great food! Service was quick and friendly read more

Really delicious! We were in from out of town with a large party and they were very friendly and the food was great!

They use round steak for their fajitas instead of skirt steak. It makes a difference. Rice, beans, and tortillas are meh.

Cesars stands out as the best Mexican restaurant I have visited in Springfield. My experience was highlighted by an exceptional burrito, which was not only the largest I have ever encountered but also among the most delicious. The flavors and quality of the meal exceeded my expectations.At the conclusion of our meal, we were pleasantly surprised by the remarkably low price on our check. The value offered by Cesars, with its outstanding food and affordable prices, makes it an excellent choice for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in Springfield. read more

Good food with an expansive menu. Good service with kind wait staff. Fun vibes and atmosphere. read more

Food was excellent. Service friendly and prompt. The fact you can see your food being prepared adds a lot. Only down side is it's a lot noisy during prime times. read more

Food was under seasoned, over cooked and dry. The food is not edible. The place is a bar with super loud music

Loud and festive. They sell a bunch of margaritas you will find one you like. The table chips were hard. The salsa was smooth and boring. The meals came out randomly, and our appetizer came when we finished eating. We all thought the food was boring and just alright on flavor. The charro beans had a pepper flavor to them. The red sauce was very tomatoe forward. read more

Service was excellent and the decor screams "let's have some fun!" I highly recommend the Quesabirria tacos and the Pina Colada. Others in our group had the steak/chicken burrito, pollo con queso, and beef tacos and had no complaints. read more

I would give this a five star every day of the week. Their food is phenomenal. I love their shrimp quesadillas. Oh my everything we've had. There is wonderful.

I finally made it to their new location and it was so cute. Its like being in a fancy dome and eating delicious food. We got the shrimp cocktail, always the best here. My uncle got the steak fajitas and his wife got some spicy seafood combo grilling. We all share the food and couldn't finish it. Their potion is huge and super yummy. Highly recommended. read more

Average food and service Not terrible bot great Been there twice two years apart Better places to eat in my opinion read more

I've finally been able to say I've tried Cesar's Old Mexico. Every time I've come before, the wait was outrageous (45 mins at one point). This time, 10-15 minutes. I opted for a chili relleno, an enchilada, and a Chimichamga. Also chips and queso. To say I devoured it was an understatement. I get why people come here all the time. Everything cooked to perfection, delicious flavors. The salsa has a smoky flavor to it, distinct and different from other places in town and I loved it! Getting our food was somewhat confusing, hence the 4 star review. Our waitress was not the person who brought out the food, so I was very confused when another person came out and asked if I ordered the enchiladas, and I said no that wasn't my food (when it actually was) because I ordered one enchilada, one chili relleno and one chimichanga. So the original waitress came back out and seemed frustrated and went and got the food back and brought it to us. I don't know, it wasn't the most pleasant of experiences and the last thing I wanted to do was eat someone else's food or return food that wasn't mine. But we got our food and ate it all. Ambiance was cute. Stereotypical Mexican restaurant decor. I think for the service factor alone (almost TOO busy to be enjoyable), I'm not sure if I'll be back or not. But the food by far is one of THE Best places in town. Hands down! read more

Absolutely delicious Veggie Taco Salad and very friendly service. Love it with a margarita.

I eat there for the first time with a first time date Saturday night. It was very busy, packed. They said the would be 45 minutes to wait. It didn't take long to get a table. The waitress was right on things, took our order quick, got our drinks, served chips and salsa quick and our meal came quick. I was impressed how everything was so quick with the crowd you had. I really liked the outside waiting room too with the plastic all around it and the heaters nice and warm. And it was very cold that night. In the 20°. The food was also great! So a thumbs up to the cooks also who got our orders out fast! Thank you for a great experience. I'll be back! read more

I cannot speak highly enough how good this food was. It is an absolute try!! It has been rated by everyone in our family as the best Mexican restaurant we have eaten at (Mexican is our "go to"). Excellent job! read more

Bring ear plugs, because it's no joke what people are saying about the noise level. The food lacks much to be desired. Chips and salsa were horrible. One and done. read more

Walked in on a busy Tuesday evening. Was seated at the bar overlooking the cooking area. This is the cleanest, most efficient prep area I have witnessed. Orders were taken and food arrived fresh and hot in less than 10 minutes! This was the best presentation of an order that I can remember. If you are looking for a quality meal, fast service and impeccable execution, Cesar's Old Mexico is the place! read more

Cesar's Old Mexico - Fajita-Rito with guacamole salad. - Mexican Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

We were seated promptly, 2 people, and our server arrived with chips and salsa, small bowls, and silverware. She took our beverage order (2 margaritas, on strawberry and 1 lime and 2 waters) and brought them back promptly. Our meal requests were for the same food item, chicken chimichanga dinner (so with rice, refried beans, guacamole, pico, sour cream and cheese. The meals were brought before we finished the chips and we were warned about the hot plates, which were extremely hot. At one point, early in eating, I was afraid that I had dropped some food on my shirt because I felt a very warm spot on my skin, but when I looked at the shirt it was clean. The heat was reaching me from the plate a few inches away. The food was warm and delicious. My margarita was good, but it tasted like it had a lot of alcohol, and burned my mouth in spite of the strawberry. I was glad I followed my wife's example and ordered a glass of water. Our server checked on us regularly without hovering over us. My wife felt like the atmosphere was noisy, but it was obviously a young crowd that was there and there were a couple of larger groups that tend to be noisy. Overall, definitely recommend Cesar's for a good, reasonably priced meal. read more

Food great Service great Ambiance horrible. The restaurant is SO noisy, that you can't hear yourself think. You certainly can't have a conversation with people across the table from you. I would go and try the food, but not when they are busy. read more

We went here because of the high google reviews. I will not trust any google reviews again. The shrimp cocktail tasted like pure ketchup! I even had the guest we brought along to try it & that is also the 1st thing they said. It must be the alcohol & atmosphere that makes people think it is good. After ordering several dishes, I can tell you that we prefer our food seasoned. I really hate to leave a negative review for anyone but I also hate for anyone to be deceived & take their guests there. Save your money read more

Never had better mexican food, whole group liked it. Large portions for great price, would recommend:)

Stopped here for lunch on a Saturday. The place was packed and we had a short wait. The restaurant has a fun, vibrant vibe and was quite noisy, but we didn't mind. Chips and salsa were brought immediately and were very good. I ordered the sopusa (a Mexican style Salvadoran Papusa). It was very tasty with lots of meat. My husband and daughter had various tacos, which were also generous on the meat. Everything was great with excellent prices. Service was a little slow, but they were extremely busy. Overall, a very good experience and recommended. read more

Food was very good. However it is a very over stimulating environment. Tons of people and tons of Loud noise and conversation. Hard to have a conversation with your own dinner guests or even hear what each other is saying. If you're sensitive to a lot of commotion this probably would not be the best place to go. read more

¡Guau! Amazing does not begin to describe this place. The food was so good that I found myself back there four times in two weeks while in Springfield. Yes, it is a bit loud but it adds to the fun social atmosphere. Service is fast and friendly. Don't miss the papusas! read more
