" El Viejon is honestly one of my go-to places! Their quesabirrias are outright amazing! The meat was juicy and full of flavor, and the tortillas were handmade, which made a huge difference. The service can be a tad slow when it’s crowded, but the quality of food keeps me coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews, but I was slightly disappointed. The tacos were decent but not outstanding, and the service was on the slower side. I appreciate the authenticity they're aiming for, but at times it felt like they were just missing the mark. I hope my next visit will be better! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at El Viejon. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I loved the décor. However, the food fell a bit flat, as my tacos were soggy and lacked flavor. The service was friendly, but it lacked the efficiency that you would typically expect. I might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
