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?

Went here for a team dinner while in MS for work…read more It's a small Mexican/Honduran restaurant with colorful decor, pretty good parking, and decent hours. The service was ok, and the staff were friendly, but it was definitely not amazing and was quite slow. I had to ask 3 different people to bring me the sour cream that I ordered as well as lemons, and the tomatillo sauce that was given (it's in refillable bottles) was empty so I had to ask for another after they walked away. Now to the food. I got the supreme enchiladas order which comes with 1 chicken, 1 beef, 1 cheese, and 1 bean enchilada with lettuce, guacamole, tomatoes, and cheese on top. The enchiladas were small, and the ingredients fresh, but the flavor was extremely bland, which was surprising for a Mexican restaurant. I mean, I could have had a more flavorful meal at Taco Bell. I ordered rice and refried beans on the side, and while the rice was decent, but nothing to write home about, the beans tasted metallic or artificial like it had been just scooped out of a can; it was not edible. TLDR: I'm giving 2 stars because the people were friendly and were trying hard, and the prices were really cheap (like $11 for my meal without the extras) but the food is just bland, even if the ingredients are fresh.

The ambience is typical Mexican but with more room. The tables provide lots of room. A big change from restaurants that cram in as many seats as possible. The service was good. The food came out quickly and was cooked well. The server even played a little joke when we asked for mare napkins. My wife said it showed he a quick thinker. All things considered it was a wonderful first experience. I'll be back.
