" Had a very good dinner with family. It's a sit-down restaurant with good service and the food was flavorful and abundant. The only little hiccup was the slight wait we experienced for our food, but it was worth it when it arrived. I can definitely see us making this a regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pleasant surprise! The food here is authentic and full of genuine flavors. I particularly loved the shrimp enchiladas! The service was good, though it got hectic when the restaurant filled up. Definitely seeing myself come back here more often! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mom's Old Recipe has become a staple for my family! Each dish we've tried has been delightful. Quite literally, every single dish has exceeded our expectations. We really enjoy the homey environment, and can't wait for our next family dinner here. Highly recommended for those who cherish genuine Mexican flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely time at Mom's Old Recipe. I really enjoyed the flavors of the enchiladas and the friendly service. The ambiance is warm and inviting. However, the wait times were longer than I expected, especially with a full house. Still, I'll return for the delicious food and welcoming vibe! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem for sure! I've been searching for authentic Mexican food, and Mom's is exactly what I found. The tortilla soup was full of flavor, and my main dish, cochinita, was divine. It's comforting home-style cooking, which scores big points for me. The only drawback was the slow service at peak dinner time. But overall, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you like authentic Mexican food, this is a place you should visit! The mole was exceptional, full of rich flavors, and the enchiladas were so comforting. I felt like I was home having a meal made by family. The only downside was that I found the dessert options a bit limited. Overall, a great culinary experience and definitely a place I'd recommend to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful experience at Mom's! Their fresh salsa is among the best I've ever had, and it paired well with the tortilla chips. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, and these were packed with flavor. The service was friendly and quick—that made the experience even better! The décor is charming, and it's a cozy spot to dine in. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
