| - We were walking around Old Scottsdale, trying to settle on a place to get a relatively quick bite. When our first choices were further away than anticipated, we opted for Old Tortilla Factory, thinking from the description that it might be a tad kitschy. When we saw the patio, we thought, "not too bad" and decided to stay.
Unlike the other reviewers, our server was friendly and helpful and attentive to our requests. I was not, however, terribly impressed by the food, even those famous tortillas.
We started with the queso fundido, which was very watery, and not nearly as flavorful as I'd expect. This was served along side some red pepper tortillas with jalapeno butter. The butter was good. The tortillas were ok, a little on the dense/doughy side for my liking. Admittedly, I prefer corn, so I was biased from the start, but they tasted just like any other flour tortillas I could find at a supermarket.
For the mains, we got the chicken calabacitas and the pork chile verdes. The sauce on the chicken was the highlight of my meal - creamy, garlicky, full of flavor. The chicken underneath was moist, and the accompanying relish was quite tasty. The pork chile verdes was disappointing. The pork was dry, the sauce was watery, the potatoes undercooked. Definitely not worth it.
The drinks were good. The patio atmosphere was relaxing. But the food wasn't worth the cost.
