Excellent staff, and food. Their quesidillias are especially good. Only negative is getting to it. You either have to drive through the gas station parking lot. Or go up to the next block, and drive through the back, where employee parking is to reach it. read more

Food was delicious, fast, employees were professional and polite. We got the fajitas mexi plenty of food we were able to share, chips and salsa was very good a little tangy. Restaurant was clean nice decorated read more

Our first visit...the only complaints I have (and they're super minor) are that it took 20 minutes to get our chips (the cheese dip was already cold) and the taco salad was on a plate that was too small. Like I said, minor. Both meals were outstanding: I had the shrimp chimichanga and my husband had shrimp fajita taco salad. Service was fine. The atmosphere was relaxing and tastefully decorated - it's a cool place. We will definitely be back! read more

Good quick lunch today with the wife. Just a fast in and out because we were running errands. I've eaten here before and enjoyed it. The chips and salsa are really good and the service is fast and friendly. Big menu with lots of choices and they get your food to you quickly. Good meal, mine was a little greasy, but it had chorizo in it. Thanks for the food, we'll come back! read more

Fantastic margarita made from scratch. The food was plentiful, but the chicken was absolutely tasteless. Chips and salsa were very good.

We are return customers. Each time we get another opportunity to drive up from the Gulf to see friends, go on an adventure, etc we stop in. The customer service is good. The food is great. The atmosphere is Excellent. What more could you look forward to? Make it part of your vacation plans. Enjoy read more

After being pleased from previous meals at Old Mexico, I decided to try something totally new from the Autentico side of their menu. Their Torta Suprema has now set itself apart as the most flavorful sandwich I've yet tried. It is a "branded" torta bun with grilled steak, carnitas, chorizo, and bacon. Just outstanding and well worth the extra $2 to make it Suprema. The chains will never set their bar high enough to compare!! read more

Old Mexico Cantina & Grille - Suprema Torta, tastiest sandwich ever! - Mexican Near Me - Gadsden, Alabama

The staff was super sweet but, we got a to go order that was fajitas nachos with chicken, steak, and shrim. The steak and chicken was over done and there was only 5 total shrimp. Also not a lot of chips for my "nachos". This was one of the worse "Mexican restaurants" I have eaten at in a while. Unless you want to just have tacos or a bean/beef burito, or chicken chimichanga or something like that. read more

I found this to be a completely underwhelming dining experience. I had the fajitas. Meh. Upcharges for a single jalapeño pepper and more tortillas. At least my waitress was polite and quasi-responsive. I'm not going to be back. read more

I wouldn't come again. Received cold stale chips. took forever for our food to come out. there were soggy clumps of seasoning in my steak and onions. it was loud and too much going on. the prices are too high. read more

Fun and yummy! Great big restaurant with a big parking lot right off the highway. Stopped here for a comfort and light lunch. Left stuffed! Hubby and I shared a four item plate that really was too much for us. Chips and salsa are also good. Service was fine . Ambience casual with good music playing. I would definitely return. read more

Love this place! Came here on the way home from a road trip with my family and loved it! Food was great, service was great, and it was pretty cheap! Also liked the overall look of the restaurant as well. Definitely recommend read more

We stopped in on our way home from a terrific vacation and found this hidden little gem out here in Alabama. Every little bit of this place is good. The chips and salsa, the decor, the atmosphere, the appetizers and tacos and soup and just everything. If you're passing through Alabama, yet somehow curried a taste for Mexican, here ya go! read more

My second time coming here and it's still the best Mexican food I've found. Last time was a year ago. My wife and I travel here from South Carolina to play bingo and will always eat here every time we visit read more

Associations. We all have them. Peanut butter and jelly, Bonnie and Clyde, or Las Vegas and gambling. For me, I can add: Old Mexico and Fiesta Dip. Like Pavlov's dog, my taste buds react before I even arrive at the restaurant. My boyfriend suggested we get some fiesta dip today to tide us over until our early dinner and let me tell you: he didn't have to ask twice! It's like the best rotel queso dip you ever had. I didn't get a good picture because as soon as it lands on the table, it's chow time! They do have good entrees as well, but you are doing yourself a huge disservice if you do not get the fiesta dip! read more

A little torn on my review, they are a really solid 3 star or a light 4 star. Going to lean to the 4 star side since it's only one visit. Late night, they were still pretty packed when we came in. My girlfriend told me as soon as we were seated we needed to get the loaded queso, which comes with beef in it. Spot on with that order and to be honest that swayed me to the 4 star side of things, Creamy and perfect proportions of all the ingredients. To be honest, you could make a meal out of this if you wanted to. For my main course I went with the Chimichanga with cheese sauce on the side. Ordered with shredded beef. As with most Mexican restaurants the food was out really quickly. Slicing into my Chimichanga it was fried really well, and the beef looked good, no fat visible. But tasting it was another story, it was really bland as far as a Chimichanga goes. The cheese sauce helped, and I kind of think that they don't intend the queso on the side, as it helped to disguise the lack of overall flavor in this dish. Staff was quick and attentive and made sure that our drinks were full and brought us all the extras we asked for, quickly! Really the only thing that wasn't really good was my entrée. I would come back here again and would order the loaded queso again, and would for sure order a different dish for my entrée. read more

This place was so good! We loved that they offer various vegetarian options. The food was wonderful.. We both had guacamole dip and the vegetarian fajitas. They were delicious and the portions were generous. I would definitely recommend this restaurant especially if you are looking for vegetarian dishes. read more

They should name this place Taco Bell. That's basically what this food was. I'm not sure how this place has gotten 5 star reviews to be honest. I'm from Chicago and now Mexican food well and trust me this isn't it! I ordered the vegetarian meal #2 I believe. It was refried beans in a tortilla with sauce and some cheese melted on top. A chalupa which is actually a tostada with more refried beans, lettuce, some tomato and drop of guacamole. Then there was a quesadilla the best thing on my plate. My aunt ordered the regular meal #2. It was a cheese enchilada, a chalupa aka tostada and taco. Also a joke! read more

We try to stop at this restaurant every-time we pass through the area as we drive to Louisiana. This was unfortunately, not a good visit. Food was mediocre and the service not very good. We love Mexican food, and hope our next visit will be better. read more

I love this place! Street tacos are great -- but the hidden gem on this menu are the carnitas! Also - the jalapeño margarita is really good and very spicy! They also know how to make a proper michelada! Staff is always gracious and friendly and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. read more

The food bought for a business they enjoy. They were very happy. They only thing they need someone the speaks English to help out

This place was on point, everything tasted good. I had a Corona michalada and the Carnitas, it was off the hook. Only thing I didn't like was the entrance was hard to get to, you have to go through the Circle K parking lot. read more

I Will Not be coming back after my experience . I came in earlier to eat with my husband after a long day . This was our first time here we looked at the reviews before coming and it seemed like they had great service and a great atmosphere. When we got there we were sat down and I asked the host with the blonde piece in her hair what she recommended she gave me a dirty look and told me she wasn't my waitress and then gave me a smirk .she tossed my napkin and silverware in front of me but she laid my husband napkins and silverware beside him. I don't understand what I did for her to treat me like that . I have never felt so disrespected thank you old Mexico . Everything else was okay the server was nice and the food was good and priced well . Please be nice to customers read more

This place is AWFUL. I have been here twice and both times the service was the worst service I have ever received. The waitress, Jennifer M. Was extremely rude tonight. Could not crack a smile or say a word, forgot half of what we ordered and never asked if we needed anything then just threw our check down at the end saying nothing. The worst part was she was in the corner with the rest of the staff in plain view talking while we waited for her to come get our check for about thirty minutes. The drinks tasted like straight juice and no alcohol. Overall I would never recommend this place to anyone and this waitress should be fired. read more

Birria tacos was amazing. I order every time I'm at the Petro in Gadsden ! Must try !

Very good food and service. We enjoyed the Gaby and Rosie. Portions were huge. We could have shared.

We had stopped in town on the way to another location. It has a very weird location and you can only get there by driving through the gas station parking lot or from the back of their property from the hotel section. It's so weird- why are they not allowed a decent entrance??? I like the ambiance inside here and how they designed it. There are lighted metal stars in clusters everywhere. Friendly staff and our service was good. Our food was good, not outstanding. The chips really need to be replaced with a better quality. They were almost stale. But the margarita made up for it. I had a frozen one ; my husband, on the rocks. The rim salt was very fine and yummy. This was not a typical Mexican restaurant margarita that tastes like some weird neon green rocket fuel. Seriously good!!! It's got to be a special mix they use. read more

Great food, service and even the prices were good. Will definitely eat here again when we pass through.

I found my meal to be quite good, you could have fed two hungry people with my fajitas! Huge plate of side too. I had to accept defeat and leave some uneaten. Chips and salsa were fresh and spicy as well. Very polite help on a very busy Friday night read more

Old Mexico Cantina & Grille - You won't eat it all, - Mexican Near Me - Gadsden, Alabama

I don't recommend this place under any circumstances! The food was cold , the waiters rude , the food was inadequate at best , and the alcohol tasted more like juice than a cocktail, 10 dollar drinks and you couldn't even tast a drop of alcohol. This place a horrible and unprofessional. Please do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere read more

Really tasty food, good margaritas and fair prices. It hit the spot for me. I enjoyed the carnitas fritas.

I went in not expecting a lot to be honest. Figured it to be similar to the far to numerous chain Mexican restaurants, all of which are boring, bland and certainly nothing close to Mexican food. And yes I've been to Mexico numerous times. Well it's not really Mexican food it's a very good Americanized interpretation of Mexican food. I enjoyed it quite a bit at three tacos with three different meats & each was very good, very well presented and obviously very well prepared. I was a teetotaler tonight so I can't comment on the drinks; a good margarita would've been a great compliment to the tres tacos. Salsa was not great but was good, very good & considerably better that most. The one area of improvement that I'd recommend is with the tortilla chips - some were just a tad on the stale side & in general, came across as just generic, mass produced chips. I'll be back to try the fajitas. Or tamales. Or enchiladas. Or ... but with a margarita or three! read more

we got there right at 11:00 and the staff is very friendly, but the music stayed blaring, no refills on drinks and the rice was too dry..
