    Good overall...tortilla soup was mid at best. The fajitas were good but pricey for what you get. Nice place.

    I liked this place way back when it was Acapulco, so I was hoping it would be good in this new iteration. It is. We had fajitas and carnitas...both delicious! Service was courteous. Drinks were tasty, although on the small side. Maybe go for the pitcher

    Our server was pleasant and efficient. The food variety was good, but not hot, some items barely warm. Omelette station was very good. The desserts not good, boxed cookies, very mediocre pie and brownies. I guess they saved me some calories. Not bad for the price though.

    We didn’t know it was a buffet only when we made the reservation. The food should have been “fresh” since we sat down shortly after they opened but it was dry and cold. Just not good and not what we were expecting. They had fajitas but no tortillas lol… what?! Just a really odd experience today. $45 each and I think it should have been $20-25 each instead.
    Old Town Tequila Factory Restaurant & CantinaResponded on January 5, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Aaron. We truly regret that our Christmas buffet special did not meet your expectations. This is definitely not the standard we aim for, and we’ll work on improving these aspects to ensure a better experience for future diners. Since the menu and offerings on that day were part of a holiday special, we hope you’ll give us another chance to try our regular menu. We’d love the opportunity to make things right and provide you with a much better experience and meal!
