Mom's Old Recipe — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

Very nice restaurant with very good food. The decor is very tasteful and the mosaic light fixtures are beautiful. The music is not overly loud and and it is still easy to have a conversation. The special appetizer of the pork rinds with guacamole was delicious. The chicharrones were freshly made and still warm and crackling when served. The Enchilada trio was delicious. The ranchera sauce was ok, but the mole and Verde sauces definitely made up for it. The menu states that the mole enchilada is with skirt steak, but there was clearly beef of another kind in it as well that was a bit fattier and stringy in texture (this is why the food didn't get 5 stars). The Verde sauce cheese enchilada was incredibly flavorful. It is a bit spicy but not overpowering. The flautas were very crispy, and the chicken inside was well seasoned and tender. The lettuce on the dishes was clearly fresh and crisp. The banana chimichanga was very well done. The tortilla was crispy and the banan was warm. Topped with a drizzle of chocolate and caramel sauce and several with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. It was decadent and delicious. The Mexican hot chocolate takes a little long because it is made fresh and comes with 2 sopapillas. It is very flavorful and well done. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will...

Mom's Old Recipe Mexican restaurant has a spacious dining area. While you wait for your food, they give you complimentary chips along with this a orange sauce that is super hot. Along with it is a nice authentic touch of pickled carrots and cauliflower.

Steak tacos were good, chicken tacos were flavorful... fish taco was weird, with the sauce and coleslaw in it. The one good thing about the tacos was that the corn tortillas hard and soft and moist, which is not usual for corn tortillas

The tequila shrimp taco consisted of 3 shrimps, for $22. The rice that came with it was soft and sticky which I like, and the roasted vegetables that came with it was OK. The shrimp was bathed in butter and cilantro, it was flavorful, but a little bit too pricey for me

BATHROOM REVIEW: Bathroom was in the back. You go past giant basket of potatoes and onions. In the back are two bathrooms one for men's and women's. The men's was not great. It had a lot of expose piping, but a decently clean toilet. Other than that the vibes of the hall bathroom was eh. The bathroom door had a rickety rusty locking latch, that I definitely do not want to touch. Sit or...

Just one word! Freshlysqueezedskinnylimemargaritas!!! My ultimate go to this summer. Thanks Mom's and sorry if anyone gets carpal tunnel cause of this review! Great place for a traditional taco or burrito and awesome place for a sit down celebration.

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...
