Mexican Food Factory

The ambiance is fabulous. Pictures of Frida Kahlo are everywhere. The nachos come with three salsas none of which are mild. Watch out for the green stuff!!

hi. i've lived in the area for the past 15 years, and have steadily witnessed the decline of the mexican food factory. used to be about 3 stars, after my last dinner, wont return, gave it one star. outdated and dirty restaurant conditions- just check out the public restroom in there if you are unsure. specials are over priced in my opinion, and lack flavor/innovation.slight changes in management have also hurt it here. better places around for the money, value, and cleanliness. i wont be back.

At the recommendation of a friend, 6 of us went to the Mexican Food Factory for dinner last night. We were intially told it would be a 30-40 minutes wait, but this turned into 50 minutes. Not so bad for a Saturday night except several parties who came in after us were seated before us, in the same size table we were packed into. Our wait provided a clear view of the salad station and garbage dump, both of which deserve a visit from the health inspector. Servers use thier hands (no gloves or tongs) to make the salads (including one who sneezed into his hand and kept working) and bus boys scrap leftover plates into the garbage and then set tables without washing their hands. Words can not describe how dirty the bathroom is. Our service was horrible, even after telling the waitress that we had been waiting a long time and were starving she took 20 minutes to bring us our drinks. Repeated requests for missing utensils and refills were ignored. Healthy options do not exist at this place as everything is drowning in butter or covered in cheese; seeming attempts to cover the tasteless dishes they have prepared. The food is overpriced and about as far from authentic Mexican as you can get. The only good thing about the MFF is the chips and salsa but I wonder how often the salsa dishes and chip baskets are being cleaned? Save your time and your money and skip this one.

I have been frequenting this restaurant for almost 10 years and have always enjoyed the food. Recently, in fact (circa 2008), the food was even better than I had remembered. I always enjoy the endless chips (one time charge of only $.50, for those who would like complain here), and the salsa tastes fresh and homemade. I especially look forward to the salsa verde's unique and terrific taste. I have tried and enjoyed almost all of the standards on the menu, and recommend all visitors to this webiste, and readers of these particualr reviews, to disregard the negative comments left by disgruntled jersey folks who dont know the difference between good food and taco bell. Also in response to some naysayers, I find good service comes quicker when I am friendly to those who are serving and wating on me. I actually plan on going to MFF tonight and you should too!!

Set in the heart of this fabulous part of town - I stumbled upon this little gem. The best tasting mexican food I've had yet near Philly. The prices are super affordable. The guac was amazing - my date and I had two servings of the stuff. The service was right on - and on top of that - the staff is hot and super friendly. I am definitely going back to this joint. The crowd was a cool mixed crowd - low key and not haughty taughty. Definitely Best In South Jersey area for Mexican Food !!!!!
