" This was my first visit to EL Viejon, and I had high expectations. The atmosphere was lively and the staff super friendly. I ordered the fajitas, thinking they would be a highlight—but they were just okay. The meat was tender, but the seasoning didn't pop like I hoped it would. However, I can't fault the service or the overall vibe of the place. Judging by the other dishes passing by, I would say this restaurant has a lot of potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to EL Viejon hoping for a great Mexican meal, and it mostly met my expectations. The food was decent but not as amazing as I had anticipated. I ordered the fajitas, and while they were properly cooked and flavorful, I felt that they could have been more generous in portion. The environment was festive, and the service was prompt. I’ll probably give it another shot on a busier night when they have their fullest preparation going on. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at EL Viejon wasn't as positive as I'd hoped. While the ambience was lively, I found the food to be lackluster and not as flavorful as some had mentioned. My order took longer than expected, and the service felt a bit disorganized, though friendly. The highlight was the guacamole, which was fresh and tasty, but the steak in my fajitas was overcooked. I may consider giving it another chance in the future, as so many reviews have been stellar. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a very pleasant dining experience at EL Viejon. The atmosphere was welcoming with a rustic charm. I really enjoyed the birria tacos; the meat was tender, and the dipping sauce was fantastic. The staff took great care of us, ensuring drinks were always full. I recommend trying their margaritas, which were nicely balanced. I'm looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family tried EL Viejon last weekend, and it was an experience to remember. The restaurant was bright and filled with colorful decor. We ordered a variety of items including the quesadilla, enchiladas, and the much-raved-about birria tacos. Each dish was packed with authentic flavors, and the portions were more than enough! We felt welcomed from the start as the staff was attentive and cheerful. Despite a bit of a wait for our food due to the busy night, it was worth every minute. We're definitely adding this place to our favorites list! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience! From the moment we stepped in, the colorful atmosphere and welcoming staff set the tone perfectly. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the infamous birria tacos and the tacos al pastor. Both were bursting with authentic flavors! Not to mention, the margaritas were some of the best I’ve had – definitely worth the price. Our server was attentive and friendly, always ready to help. I could easily see this becoming our go-to spot for Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found EL Viejon to be a great dining experience overall. I appreciated the traditional touches in both their food and atmosphere. The service was quick and attentive, though I wish the food had a little more zest. Nonetheless, I had a pleasant meal and would consider returning! " (*Curated Review*)
