Deceptive, Unethical Practices – I had a crazy experience dining tonight at the Mexican Food Factory - a place I had formerly thoroughly enjoyed. Things had gone decently well and when we got the bill, I looked over it a bit more carefully than usual. My wife had guessed that our bill should be $5 less than it turned out to be. Did they overcharge us for our son's meal (who, by the way, they asked if we were dining with 2 1/2 tonight and also asked if the baby was joining us. He's not a baby. He'll be 4 soon.)? It turns out ... read more

A landmark declines – I was a frequent diner at MFF back when Paul S was the owner. 80's?? Recently took my kids there, trying to break the same old DPablos, OTB grind. I told the kids I always loved this place. Wow, it has deteriorated over the years. Today I tried one last time to order take out and get the order correct. They did, but not without a cockroach walking across the counter where the hostess and cashier stand. The employee was over at the little window looking in to the kitchen waiting for the order when I look... read more

Hadn't been there in awhile and won't be back – We were excited to use a gift certificate for lunch on a Saturday afternoon foolishly thinking we'd pay lunch prices and have a yummy meal. First disappointment...no lunch menu or specials on Sat. Dinner prices at 1 pm! The rest of the family opted for a meal but I got ala carte. Margarita was small and tasty including the suggested upgrade tequila and price. $1. for mediocre chips and blah spicy pico de gallo. Salsa was good. Food came out lukewarm and the chili relleno had a ... read more

Not What It Used To Be – The Mexican Food Factory has been a family favorite of ours for at least 25 years. I cannot remember a time when we had a meal that was not outstanding. Maybe once in all those years did we experience an 'off' night, and that may have been that the food was lukewarm or the service was slow, but never about the flavor and quality of ingredients. We dined there recently after not eating there for a few years and what a huge disappointment! Same charming atmosphere, but what happened to the food? Everyt... read more

Great Place... oh, I'm thinking of somewhere else. – I read reviews all the time but never once added my 2 cents... heres a quarter. I always heard how good this place is and now I can say that it is one of the worst places I've eaten (and I eat out a lot). Right out of the gate, my drink had black flaky pieces in it and the waitress looked at me like I was crazy when I told her. She was holding the glass up to the light on the way to get me a new one because obviously it was all in my imagination. My girlfriends' glass came... read more

mice in bathroom – Last time I was there I saw a mouse in the already disgusting bathroom. If the bathrooms are disgusting with mice..what is the kitchen like...Never go back. Left before I ate my dinner.

My Favorite Restaraunt – I am surprised by the bad reviews for this place! I have been enjoying this restaraunt for 10 years and have yet to be disappointed! The first time I went I was skeptical, due to the outward appearance, but I quickly changed my mind! The wait staff is very nice and attentive. If you go after 6 on the weekend you will likely have to wait. But you're going to have to wait at any place on the weekend, so stop complaining and eat at home. The food is great. My favorite are the chicken flautas. They are d... read more

My favorie Mexican Restaurant in NJ – I read the bad reviews. Every place has a bad day. I have been going there since 2007. The food has always been terrific. Everyone has different taste so if you have not tried it then it's worth the risk. For the bad comments, I have not seen those conditions. I go there frequently and will be there next week for lunch. Their Guacamole Dip is the best I have had in NJ and Philly. :-)

Used to be good – I hate to talk bad about these guys because they used to be really good when I was younger, but they have gone downhill. The last time I went there, about a year ago, the food was old and nasty. The refried beans were cold and had the consistency of library paste. I work in restaurants and I must say that the sanitation practices are atrocious. I did some digging and found out that these guys have been cited for numerous health code violations. The chips and salsa were good, but that was about it. The servi... read more
