In Short
Stucco walls, ornate iron trellises, and a fountain give it a courtyard feel. Semi-private cubbies with big, round tables are coveted spots for families and groups of friends. The menu has the usual suspects--tacos, burritos, enchiladas--without much heat. Popular dishes are the pollo fundido, a chicken chimichanga covered with sour cream and cheese, and the grande burros: a tortilla stuffed with chicken or beef and veggies, then covered in sauce and cheese.

Never a long wait. Food is AUTHENTIC. My favorite is steak fajita pocket taco enchilada style. The chips and salsa before the meal are phenomenal (because their home made) Quick service, a little more expensive, but still affordable. You definitely pay for what you get at Ol' Mexico!

I had read some reviews on sites like this one that had mixed opinions about the food taste and wait staff attentiveness, but being as we were in the mood for mexican food, we decided to try for ourselves. I took my girlfriend out on a friday night (around 8pm) and there was no wait...probably because the place was so big. We chose to sit in a lounge area surrounding the bar because it had a restaurant feel but also plenty of large tvs for me to watch the game. Our waiter (I think Shawn was his name) greeted us immediately and explained in great detail the vast margarita menu. My girlfriend and I both ordered patron margaritas of the month as recommended by our server and they were large, cold, and fantastic! We then proceeded to order off of the large menu featuring a pretty standard collection of mexican entre's. I chose the chicken chimichanga, and my girlfriend chose the taco salad with beef. The food was delicious! the plate was large and complimented by rice and beans for me, and my girlfriend was very satisfied with he salad (though we recomend using the salsa as a dressing). As far as mexican restaurants go, this is one of the better ones I've been too. And as far as the waitstaff is concerned, our waiter Shawn was one of the most attentive and helpful waiters I have ever had. Now I know this could have been a fluke experience, or we may have gotten lucky in the rotation of waiters buzzing about, but we were very pleased with our service and will be requesting the same waiter when we visit again very soon! Thank you Ol' Mexico!

Tried it 3 times. Bland food. Margaritas are huge to hid fact they are weak. Last time I specifically mentioned we were in a hurry, ordered immediately, got food, and we never saw our waiter again. I had to walk around to find someone to pay. Other patrons were lined up in the lobby trying to find someone to pay so they could leave. The waitstaff just disappeared!
