" A gem of a place. I tried their breakfast burrito, and it was more filling than I anticipated! The service was quick; I barely had to wait for my order at all. It was light, just perfect for my morning cravings. The salsa on the side added a great flavor kick, highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Walking into Mexico Viejo, I was greeted with the delicious smell of fresh cooking. The burrito I ordered was stuffed to the brim, and the flavors were incredible. It was such a generous portion as well! My only complaint was that the server seemed a bit distracted. Still, well worth the visit, and I plan to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food! The chicken tacos I ordered were excellent. Fresh ingredients and authentic taste really stood out. Plus, the portions were generous. The overall experience was great except for the ambiance; it felt a bit cramped. I'll definitely return for the quality food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was quite impressed with Mexico Viejo. The carne asada tacos were bursting with flavor, and the fresh salsa bar was a delightful addition. However, I did find the server to be a bit curt when I requested extra napkins. I would still return for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot express how disappointing my visit was at Mexico Viejo. The tacos I ordered were bland and the meat was overcooked. The service was unfriendly, which added to the frustration. It's unfortunate, as this place has a good reputation, but I won't be returning after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an average time at Mexico Viejo. The food offered a decent flavor, but it didn't impress me as much as I had expected. I particularly found the portion sizes to be good, but the customer service could use improvement. A mixed experience overall – I might consider returning but not urgently. " (*Curated Review*)
