What Julie Sullivan likes about Mom's Old Recipe Mexican Restaurant:
I can’t say enough nice things about this place. If you go, ask for Ernesto’s section. He’s amazing...I was debating on what to have and he is amazing at recommending items. Maragaritas are So good!!!! The guacamole super fresh and the mole....ohhh the mole...I wish I could slather it on everything!!! Great music!!! Family friendly and romantic for date night!!
