" My experience at Mexico Viejo wasn't what I was expecting. The timing of service was too slow for a Saturday lunch. The carne asada was decent, but I feel like I've had better at other places. I would maybe try them again but not soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I hadn't been to Mexico Viejo in a while but was excited to revisit. The breakfast burrito was good but felt slightly off with too much cheese. I enjoy their food, but I think some dishes can vary a little in quality. Overall, still a decent experience, and I look forward to trying more! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for authentic Mexican food with a homey touch, this is the place to go! Tacos and burritos are made fresh, and you can really taste the difference. So grateful I found this tucked-away gem in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently took my kids here, and they had a lovely time! They offer a kid-friendly menu, and my picky eaters were satisfied with cheese and meat tacos. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and I appreciated the cleanliness of the place. We all enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mexico Viejo has my heart! From the carne asada burritos to their salsas, everything is always amazing. The atmosphere is casual but inviting. I've brought friends and family here multiple times, and they always leave happy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just okay. I've heard all the hype about their tacos but they seemed a bit bland. The atmosphere is chill, but it’s a bit too casual for my taste. The service was decent, but I wasn't impressed overall. I might try their breakfast options next time; maybe that will change my mind about the place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always thought my family’s Mexican cooking was the best until I discovered Mexico Viejo. The flavors are on point, and it feels like a little slice of home. I can never go wrong with their fish burrito, which is so tasty and fresh. Service is usually fast, though sometimes the place can get a little crowded. Love this place! " (*Curated Review*)
