I had the pollo en mole, what a treat!!!! The mole sauce is fantastic. Everyone in the Restaraunt was extremely helpful, friendly and professional, very attentive staff.

Love this neighborhood spot. Went twice in the last couple months and was blown away both times. Margaritas, fajitas, enchiladas, and mole sauce are all made perfectly. Staff is all super friendly and accommodating for our very active kids. Highly recommend!

Great! The Enchilada Trio, Garlic Tequila Shrimp, sopapillas and a banana chimichanga dessert were delicious. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Look forward to returning!

My husband and I stopped in for drinks and dinner. The overall service, food, and margaritas were top notch! The decor in the restaurant was beautiful, equally matching the quality of customer service and food. We will defiantly be coming back.

OMG, the Grilled Salmon is killer and the Fajitas are nicely charred to perfection. Mom's really takes such care for the flavors, the freshness, and the quality! This place is a great value! Can't wait for full seating again so we can enjoy the tasty Margs while munching on an app! I've been Mexican all my life and can guarantee Mom's Old recipe is super authentic with a classy flair!
PS, I would share pics but the food looked and smelled sooooooo freakin good, I snarfed it all down before I could grab my phone! Seriously, I lost my mind I couldn't think of anything else while eating. Thanks Mom's!
Fast forward to March 2022 and I just had some fab braised and stewed pork called cochinito which is phenomenal slow cooked in Mexican spices, some mild, some moderate but all savory. Skirt steak cooked to perfection and mole to die for. MOR keeps us coming back for more!!

I have been coming here for years. I always take my friends and family here when we go out. I was the second person or so to order grubhub from them when they started doing delivery. I have tried most of the menu and I keep coming back for the enchiladas. They are awesome! Overall, the staff is friendly and attentive, they give good and fast service and if they make a mistake (which they usually dont) they quickly remedy it. Check them out, you will not be disappointed.

What a hidden gem. I've have heard about this place from many people and have driven past it a handful of times...we finally were able to experience what everybody was talking about. The service was excellent and the host is super sweet. Service from everyone was great. Their homemade salsa was so good.. we even got some to go for a friend that knew we were there, that's how popular it is. Their red sangria had cherries and chopped apples..one of the best sangrias I've ever had..and their margaritas were so good! you can tell all of the ingredients were fresh. We had the steak chimichanga and I had the chicken flautas..5 stars for sure. We will definitely be back!

This is definitely one of those places you should give a shot. Chose the place on the recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed. Everyone at my table thoroughly enjoyed what they ordered. Salsa was the bomb, service was not stellar, but doable. Prices were good. We went on an off night, but looking forward to returning when the place is busy, the music is playing, and the vibe is electric.

Great home cook Mexican inspired food. Tortas are large enough to share. The tacos from the dinner plate are filled with ample meat to satisfied. Dinning in Mom's Old Recipe is both cozy and delightful. Parking is on the street. They serve takeout. The price is a little more then the average Mexican restaurant, but this isn't your average Mexican food. It's fresher, plentiful, and delicious.
