Old Mexico

Our first time here. It was so good!! Seriously, on a cold winter day in the future, I'd buy some "to go" for home. Eating inside is so fun. I love the decor and colors. But I can see eating tacos on a cold snowy day at home!!

First time visitor to Caesars Old Mexico. The atmosphere is immediately reminiscent of many restaurants we visited in Mexico. Seating is somewhat tight but accommodating. We were there at the height of dinner time with a large dinner crowd people waiting outside. Patron noise level high as could be expected given time of day. Now to the food: I chose the California Barria burrito, wife the shrimp and chicken burrito. Both were presented appetizing and hot. My Barria burrito was HUGE, well prepared and tasty. A doggie bag carried home my following nights dinner The wife’s meal was said to be enjoyable but not exceptional. Service was adequate and timely. I will return for another try at the Barria burrito as it was exceptional. Given the large crowd waiting outside as we left, noise levels and somewhat tight seating experienced on a Tuesday evening consider your timing options.

If you want authentic Mexican food in Missouri, this is the place to go. Ever tried lengua? Try it in a taco you will love it! Look up what it is afterwards. The staff is great, the kitchen is staffed by Mexicans, they know what they are doing. The food pops and you will love it! Have a margarita, you won't regret it.

Food was delicious, nice flavor and authentic Mexican vibes. Tortilla chips were fresh and the salsa was good. However, prices are a bit on the higher side which may not align with the casual diner out on a lunch date. If you're willing to spend a bit more for tasty food, it's worth a visit!

This restaurant is always busy so they must be doing something right. Food was very good with generous portions. Service was excellent. The restaurant is fairly loud so it makes it difficult to have a real conversation. Overall a positive experience and I plan on returning.

Very tasty Mexican restaurant with visibly vibrant, fresh ingredients. Salsa tastes fresh and not from a jar. Meals were flavored with sautéed and grilled peppers and onions. I have had both steak and chicken here and never wondered what kind of mystery meat was served. Nice tender cuts of meat flavored on the grill with delicious, savory veggies. Cesar's delivers meals you thoroughly enjoy. Guacamole tasted fresh as well as the sour cream. Rice and beans were served hot as well as the basket of warm tortilla chips to dip in salsa. Cesar's delivers fast service by hard-working staff. I had to ask to get any drink reills, but otherwise good service. Noise level still allowed for conversation, but it's a regularly busy place with a bar / seating, and part of the kitchen / grill are just beside the bar. Overall, Cesar's is a real treat for quality Mexican food in Springfield MO.

I’ve previously written a review for this place, but I feel like I need to update it. I’ve continued visiting this place for 3 reasons: The people/atmosphere , the food, and the location. Cesar and his wife Sandy have created a real jewel here. The food is consistent excellent, the service is great, the cooks have GOT to be the hardest working group in town (seriously, go there in the evening and watch from the bar. Best show in town), and all of the staff from Cesar to busboy are fantastic people. This is above all of the kindness and charity Cesar shows the Springfield community. No wonder he has so many return customers with a consistently busy restaurant. If you’re traveling through, or live here and looking for a great experience along with your Mexican food, stop in at Cesar’s Old Mexico. His Chile Verde in incredible, the pozole is excellent, and the vibe is beyond compare. Well done!

Absolutely loved it! I went with a close friend, both of our food was absolutely delicious, huge portions, you can watch them make the food if you sit at the bar! The atmosphere was lovely, and the service was amazing. Definitely recommend!
