A newly discovered gem of Mexican food in the square of Rensselaer, on W Washington St (Rte 231)…read moredirectly opposite the entrance to city hall. It's difficult to see driving by due to signage restrictions on the square. This is a family restaurant with hosts and chefs Maria and husband Julio, two very gracious people who source all ingredients locally and cook everything in house. They love mingling with the patrons and said nothing is purchased from food distributors premade. The result is fabulous! For perhaps the first time in my eating career, the rice and beans were not dry. The two beef tacos were ordered one Mexican style and one American style and both were great. The chicken taco salad was overloaded with tasty meat, and neither plate had any hint of 'seasoning from a bottle'. And you know what? I've been a critic of over feeding at Mexican restaurants. The plate is sure to fill the hungriest growing teen and adult with some to take home but without leaving a huge amount to waste. Opened in March 2025, decor is very simple, very attractive and extraordinarily clean. Seats were very comfortable for our bad backs. Plenty of free parking from the front door to a block away. It feels very good to be able to write something good about a business. Go there. By the time you read this they will have alcohol, with five sizes of Margaritas up to a bowl size 60 ounces with several options ! You too will have a new favorite Mexican Restaurant.

I was treated like I wasn't welcome from the minute I walked in. I was seated, I was only one in the place. I was rushed to order, even though I told her twice I would like to have my margarita and chips and salsa,....she kept coming back. Then when I finally did get my food, they were cleaning up around me and soooo rude anout it. One worker was even on his phone while he was cleaning. I don't know about you, but I love listening to people's conversations and smelling harsh chemicals while I'm trying to enjoy a quesadilla and marg. ‍ I really wish they would've just said, " Hey lady, we're closing early tonight" when I walked in the door. Could've saved myself $30, 30 minutes and a sh*t ton of aggravation. Anybody here in town know who owns that place?

The restaurant is located in the town's restored old hotel right near the town square. Upon entering, there's delightfully cozy seating and a candlelit interior--we were seated in the library room that contained a few intimate tables. The service was amazing. Jill is attentive yet gave us space for conversation. She recommended the tenderloin special, which paired with the blueberry gastrique and parsnip purée was a nice mashup of flavors. The soup of the day was a rich, creamy lobster bisque. My husband ordered the salmon grilled and said it was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. We ordered a dessert to share (turtle cheesecake), and they thoughtfully plated it with a starburst of whipped cream for each of us! The owners came around and checked on everyone briefly. They were very kind and hospitable. Overall, the Old Colonial Inn was a delightful experience and a hidden gem.

In the very back is a mini international grocery store with 4 or 5 aisles and a refrigerated section. We ate here for dinner with our kids on a Saturday night. We were seated right away. The food overall was good--chips & salsa was pretty standard, carne asada had good flavor but was a little chewy, but the best was the pupusas. They were so delicious! We tried chicken, pork, and birria pupusas. The server was so kind to our kids, too. We plan to return in the future to try more menu items!
