find a time to go when it's not crowded, like, around 5:30 on a weekday. Otherwise just to go to El Indio up the street.

It sounds simple, but this is the only place in town with good beans. They know how to do it! And I love the tortilla ladies!

Refried beans are Mexican...they create, form, and define awesome Mexican food, and there are none better than those from the OTMC. This became "our place" for my husband and I. Freddie is the best server!!

The best carnitas, chili verde, etc., etc. You almost always have to wait a bit, but the ambiance, the margaritas, the food, is the best Mexican food I've ever had north or south of the border.

True to their style, the food is very flavorful and delicious. Some Mexican restaurants seem to have lost the true Mexican food taste. Way to go and Good Luck!

When I was undergoing some painful shots for my back pain, my reward afterward would be lunch at Old Town Mexican Cafe' while I was still numb. It made it worth it!
