Beef fajitas
Jenny S.

While exploring the area, we decided to have dinner at Old Mexico. We were greeted and seated right away at the loudest table in the restaurant, right next to the kitchen! The place was not busy at all, so we politely asked if we could move. The sweet staff member helping us did not speak much English, so she had to endure my very rusty Spanish. Somehow, we made it work and scored a quieter table. My friend and I each ordered a house margarita, a Diet Pepsi, and water. We also could not resist ordering the table-side guacamole because, honestly, when it is on the menu, you just have to. The server showed up with a tiny rolling cart and made the guacamole right at our table. Adorable! I got to practice my sad Spanish skills again, but hey, it got the job done. I went with the steak fajitas, which arrived fast and sizzling hot. The sides -- guacamole, lettuce, pico, refried beans, and rice -- were all tasty and standard fare. The fajitas were delicious and the portion was huge. I was doing great until I bit into a fattier piece of meat, and let us just say that texture is not my favorite. After that, I threw in the towel. All in all, Old Mexico is a cute spot with decent food and the best table-side guacamole experience. Definitely worth a visit!

Shrimp Tacos and Street Tacos
Liliana R.

Best shrimp tacos I've ever had!!! They make shrimp tacos feel like a delicacy! Pollo and Asada tacos are bomb!! The meat is cooked well!!

We stopped in for a late lunch on a Summer Sunday afternoon. The place was pretty empty and we chose to sit outside since it was so nice. I can't really comment on the interior but it looked big and well decorated. We ordered a small order of the table since guacamole and it was excellent. A nice potion and very flavorful. I felt bad that I didn't have any cash to tip the guy who made it. I ordered the Street Tacos for my meal and was 4 tacos on corn tortillas. Two tacos were with Birria and two with carnitas. They were served the authentic way with cilantro & onions and came with avocado salsa and salsa verde. The Birria was a little dry and not as flavorful as I'd like but it was still good. Our server was very nice and after bringing my wife the wrong dish he offered us a small discount. We were not al all disappointed in his serve and tipped accordingly.

If you want authentic Mexican food then this is the place for you. With a charming atmosphere, this restaurant is very relaxed, and the waitstaff was both friendly and helpful. The chips and salsa were delicious while their homemade hot salsa had a great kick to it. My husband had the chicken fajitas and they were both savory and plentiful. My daughter ordered the mucho nachos and was barely able to eat half of them. The homemade guacamole was scrumptious! My son and I both had the chicken burritos and we were able to get them made exactly how we like them. The only downfall was that they were out of sour cream. Though it was a little pricey it was still comparable to other restaurants in town. We would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're look for authentic Mexican food.

Table side guacamole
Kristi M.

A couple of must haves IMO are the table side guacamole and the house margaritas. I like to order food that reheats well so I can enjoy the leftovers the next day. A burrito works well in this endeavor and I really enjoyed the shredded beef in the burrito Mexicana - very flavorful. The beef quesadilla was good, too, although surprisingly short on the queso (cheese) so I will be adding some when I reheat it.

Crazy Mexican Time warp. Delicious food
Jeff P.

Outstanding for quality and delicious very unique and distinctive ambience. Best was the super friendly service and attentive manager who checked in with us and made it really great. Highly recommend the LARGE fresh guacamole. Chips are great! Also 'fajitas for two' is amazing and abundant - fresh, tender and tasty meats and grilled veggies, peppers and onions. Can't say enough about how much fun we had. We will be back! Fresh Guacamole Chicken Quesadilla Fajitas

Burrito Al Pastor, guacamole salad
Danielle F.

Standard Mexican fare, and probably one of the best places in Sturgeon Bay if I had to guess! My family and I came in, peckish AF and were grateful for the complimentary tortilla chips (served hot) and salsa. BTW the lunch menu is only for weekdays. We got: - Chile Relleno with a beef enchilada: the Chile relleno was very good, and the enchilada was just OK. - pollo ranchero: great flavor, a tad much on the salt. The chicken was cooked well and was perfectly textured. - burrito al pastor: we got this, having enjoyed our al pastor consumption from the Mission area in SF. While the pork was cooked well, there was a noticeable lack of seasoning and sauciness so we found the burrito quite dry. It seemed more like a plain pork burrito. This was a new menu item so perhaps they are still developing on the recipe. Overall, it was a solid experience and if I lived in Sturgeon Bay, this probably would be my go-to Mexican place.

I love Mexican food and my mouth is watering in anticipation of my next visit as I'm writing this review. I'm from out of town so it will be a long while. Sad for me. If you live here, be a regular, if you're driving thru or just visiting, stop and eat. Service is attentive and food is good. You're seated, beverage orders are taken and chips and salsa magically arrive. Chips are fresh and crisp. Salsa is mild with a hint of heat served in a carafe with cute individual chili pepper dishes for personal dipping. Caution! Don't eat too many chips as food servings are large. We came for lunch. Ordered small (12oz) gold margaritas. A bit sweet but very good. My lunch chicken chimichanga came with rice, refried beans, and a lettuce/tomato salad with guacamole. The chicken was nicely seasoned, moist and tender. Lightly deep fried with a light cheese sauce. My husband ordered the enchilada lunch special with two beef enchiladas rice and beans. They were excellent. Service was attentive, food was excellent. The only complaint I have is you have to ask for water. It's 90 degrees outside. Do your customers a favor and bring them water without asking. I'm old. I remember when water was automatically provided when you were seated. Ah, the good old days.

Pollo en Chipotle
Michael B.

Very large margaritas Not typically a Mexican food fan but really liked this food. Guacamole 2 large avocados. A little creamy. They make it in front of you. Nachos al Carbon - Chicken - good, big Pollo en Chipotle (pictured) mushroom and creamy Music was too loud. Not sure if they turned down

45oz Margarita!!!
Jack M.

This restaurant is HUGE and coincidentally so is the menu and the drinks. It was a great variety of choices; not ones you'll see at the major chains. Food was delicious as was the 45oz margarita. The salsa was excellent as was the service; super friendly. Really enjoyed the experience an highly recommend.

This place was packed, wall to wall for cinco de Mayo. The music and vibe was good. My husband ordered the shrimp tacos which he said were very good. The fries were actually so crispy and delicious. But I ordered the Chili Relleno meal, and the inside was cold, the shredded cheese was still shredded not melted at all. I was trying not to complain because I was having a good time! But I couldn't even eat it because it was literally so cold. So my husband told the waiter, then the waiter said it's supposed to be shredded not melted. I said okay... but cold?? He looked at me and said yes. Hmmmmm... I make chili rellenos at home and trust me I do not serve them cold. We brought this up to the hostess when paying the bill and she agreed the cheese should have been melted, but did not offer to fix it. I'm posting this because I want this place to continue to thrive, Pero Por Favor dame bueno comida.

Rice, beans, chicken enchilada and tamale.  Yummy!

Lobster night with friends was exquisite! The food and the atmosphere and the service is the best…read more The best in town!

Whenever we're on vacation anywhere in Wisconsin, we try to hit up a supper club in the area. We…read morefound that Nightingale Supper Club was closeby to our airbnb and well rated so we made reservations. When we were shopping elsewhere in Door County and a local mentioned that their favorite supper club in Door County is Nightingale, we knew we were in for a treat. An indeed we were! In true supper fashion, we began our experience in the bar for cocktails. I was delighted to find a traditional old fashioned on the menu and so that's what I ordered. It was made with Woodford and in traditional style, no wash. It was pitch perfect. Once we transitioned to the dining room, we ordered whitefish cakes for an appetizer, which were served with a perfectly savory red pepper remoulade. They were delicious. Each evening they have a nightly special. We were there on a Wednesday. The Wednesday special is the Chef Special, which is the chef's choice of unique creation. The evening I was there was a pasta dish with a creamy pesto and a balsamic drizzle. It was divine. Throughout the evening, from the bar to hostess to the dining room, the service was lovely. The prices are very reasonable for a supper club and the atmosphere is all cozy candlelight. Get to it!
