About El Mexico de Ayer
El Mexico de Ayer is worth considering for a Friday-to-Sunday meal in Ojinaga, especially if staying local matters more than chasing a documented chef-led format. The main practical constraint is timing: it is listed as closed Monday through Thursday, so plan around the weekend window and use lunch for a calmer meal.
El Mexico de Ayer is a weekend-focused option in Ojinaga. The verified schedule is narrow but clear: it is closed Monday through Thursday, then open Friday, Saturday, Sunday from 12:30 PM to 12 AM. That makes it most useful for visitors who can plan around the end of the week rather than for anyone looking for a midweek fallback.
The safest way to frame a visit is simple: choose it when the Ojinaga location and the Friday-to-Sunday hours fit your plans. Verified public details are limited beyond the schedule and smart-casual dress code, so avoid assuming a specific cuisine, menu format, price point, reservation setup, or special service style before you go.
Weekend-only hours make this a timing decision
El Mexico de Ayer is not the place to keep in mind for a Monday-to-Thursday plan. It becomes relevant from Friday through Sunday, with service listed from 12:30 PM until 12 AM on each of those days. If your plans are flexible, the key decision is simply whether that weekend window works for your group.
Because verified details do not include price, cuisine specifics, named dishes, dietary accommodations, or service format, plan to confirm practical questions directly before ordering. The grounded information supports a direct planning approach: check the day, note the hours, dress smart casual, leave room for decisions once you are there.
Use it as an Ojinaga anchor, not a substitute for every trip plan
For readers mapping a wider trip, start with the Ojinaga plan first and then decide whether the meal should stay in town or be compared with other options beyond Ojinaga. If you are considering alternatives, compare El Mexico de Ayer with other dining choices such as 12 Gage Restaurant, Bordo, Convenience West, Jett's Grill, Marfa Burritos without assuming they serve the same role or sit in the same city.
The verdict: go if the Friday-to-Sunday schedule lines up and staying in Ojinaga is the point. Skip it for a midweek plan or for a group that needs detailed verified information on menu, price, dietary handling, or service format before deciding.

How El Mexico de Ayer Ojinaga compares with similar nearby venues.
Where to go if this does not fit
If the weekend-only schedule does not work, look at Marfa Burritos for a lower-commitment casual meal or Jett's Grill for a hotel-restaurant setting. If the group wants a more deliberate dinner across the border, Bordo is the more natural cross-shop.
How it compares around Ojinaga and Marfa
El Mexico de Ayer is the convenience-first choice if the night needs to stay in Ojinaga. Convenience West and Bordo are better cross-shop options when the group is already leaning toward the Marfa side and wants a more destination-minded dinner, but they require more travel planning from Ojinaga.
Marfa Burritos is the better casual fallback for a low-ceremony meal, while El Mexico de Ayer makes more sense when the meal should feel like a proper sit-down stop in Ojinaga. For a hotel-restaurant setting, compare against Jett's Grill or 12 Gage Restaurant; those are stronger fits for travelers who want the predictability of a hotel dining room.
Booking difficulty looks easiest at El Mexico de Ayer because the main constraint is the Friday-to-Sunday schedule, not a known high-demand reservation system. Choose it for local convenience and a weekend meal; cross-shop the Marfa and hotel options when ambiance, trip routing, or a more structured dining plan matters more.
