We looked forward to trying the Cafe after reading some of the reviews. Sadly we were very disappointed. From the hiring sign... out front, it is possible they are short staffed, but the server we had seemed like she would rather be anywhere but waiting onour table. Her responses were short and hurried. We ordered drinks to start off and the beer was standard size served in a pintglass. The margarita was VERY small for the $10 price they charged. I would be surprised if it is more than 10 ounces. I willsay that the margarita was blended thoroughly and had good strawberry flavor, but little alcohol and not worth $10. I would notpurchase again after knowing the price. The chips tasted as though they were homemade and the salsa was flavorful with justenough spice. The two cheese enchilada combination plate was a good portion size. The beans were delicious and the red saucethey used on the enchiladas was flavorful. The rice was okay, not very flavorful. Sadly that combination was the only food weliked. The chicken fajitas came out on the plate, not on cast iron like many other places. There were very little vegetablesand the chicken was bland with no seasoning. It was served with guacamole and two flour tortillas. For the price, the portionsize was too small and my husband walked away still hungry. The order of street tacos were also quite disappointing. We orderedthe carne asada. Again, the meat was bland with no flavor and nearly overdone. The tortilla was extremely greasy. There wassupposed to be cilantro and onions, but the only cilantro was a few flecks. The onions were green in color, so maybe they diceit up and mix it together. Regardless, couldn't taste the cilantro. It was served with a salsa, but did not provide enoughflavor to make the tacos edible. Only one was eaten. I don't think we will come back to the Old Town Mexican Cafe, there wasjust too much that wasn't good. We felt that the $80 we spent for two dinners, 2 ala carte tacos and Read more

After our visit, wouldn’t recommend patrons sit in the bar area of “Old Town Mexican Cafe.” Food was good, beer was cold,... atmosphere pleasant. Our Sunday late morning visit came at one of the busiest times (according to our server) for “Old TownMexican Cafe.” Line for tables was long and weather was warm, so we took the staff suggestion to sit in the bar area. Weenjoyed a mariachi group performance while we waited +- 20 minutes to speak to our server. Clearly, our server and other staffwere doing their level best to serve a ‘full house’ during our visit. Our server was very responsive when we saw him. Wewere grateful to have a place to have lunch and revive. However, at times it felt as though no one knew we werethere. Considering the numbers of guests served, the food was good, and prepared well, but not exceptional. In spite of this, Iwould recommend “Old Town Mexican Cafe” to visitors to Old Town. Read more
