" The food was far from bad, but it wasn't mind-blowing either. The burritos are a good size but taste more generic than authentic to me. Atmosphere was cozy though, and the service was polite. If you’re hungry, you might find satisfaction here, but I don’t think I’ll be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" The place was nice enough, but the food wasn’t what I was hoping for. The flavors didn’t pop, and overall it felt like they were trying too hard to cater to a generic palate. If you want something truly authentic, I would look elsewhere. Service was okay but did not make up for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a cozy spot with authentic flavors, look no further than Mexico Viejo. The tortas I've had are phenomenal! The bread used for the tortas is soft yet hearty, and the fillings are fresh and generous. I particularly enjoyed the machaca torta, which was spiced perfectly. It’s always bustling during lunch, so prepare for a bit of a wait, but it’s definitely worth it. Can't say enough good things about this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic find! I visited based on a recommendation, and I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional quality of the food. The spicy shrimp tacos I ordered were bursting with flavor and came with a delightful side of guacamole. The restaurant has a friendly vibe, and I definitely plan on coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Mexico Viejo exceeded my expectations! I loved their breakfast burrito with potatoes and bacon. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. My only complaint is that it can get really busy, so I recommend visiting before peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved my experience at Mexico Viejo! The staff was incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home. I ordered several tacos to share with friends, and they were so fresh and delicious. The colorful salsa bar is worth mentioning - it added a nice kick to the food. I'll definitely be a regular here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Mexico Viejo and was referred by a friend. I was very excited to try their carnitas based on all the recommendations, but I was slightly disappointed. While they were incredibly tender, I found the flavor a bit lacking compared to what I've had in authentic taquerias. The service was quick, but I felt like they could have been more friendly. Overall, it's not a bad spot, but I believe they could improve on authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)
