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 on our table. Her responses were short and hurried.

We ordered drinks to start off and the beer was standard size served in a pint glass. The margarita was VERY small for the $10 price they charged. I would be surprised if it is more than 10 ounces. I will say that the margarita was blended thoroughly and had good strawberry flavor, but little alcohol and not worth $10. I would not purchase again after knowing the price.

The chips tasted as though they were homemade and the salsa was flavorful with just enough spice.

The two cheese enchilada combination plate was a good portion size. The beans were delicious and the red sauce they used on the enchiladas was flavorful. The rice was okay, not very flavorful.

Sadly that combination was the only food we liked.

The chicken fajitas came out on the plate, not on cast iron like many other places. There were very little vegetables and the chicken was bland with no seasoning. It was served with guacamole and two flour tortillas. For the price, the portion size was too small and my husband walked away still hungry.

The order of street tacos were also quite disappointing. We ordered the carne asada. Again, the meat was bland with no flavor and nearly overdone. The tortilla was extremely greasy. There was supposed to be cilantro and onions, but the only cilantro was a few flecks. The onions were green in color, so maybe they dice it up and mix it together. Regardless, couldn't taste the cilantro. It was served with a salsa, but did not provide enough flavor to make the tacos edible. Only one was eaten.

I don't think we will come back to the Old Town Mexican Cafe, there was just too much that wasn't good. We felt that the $80 we spent for two dinners, 2 ala carte tacos and drinks could be better spent elsewhere in Old Town.
