★★★★★ 5.0 Jimmy Benfield · Mar 2026

Jose, met me immediately upon entering and the service never stopped. I started with the Ceviche, which for myself was a bit over powering at frist from the lime, but i quickly adapted. I had the 4 Asada tacos with Spanish rice and Charo beans. I finished my meal up with a enormous slice od homemade Tres Leches cake. I travel now full time and i truly encourage anyone who is looking for real home cooked fresh delicious Mexican to give these fine folks a try.

I have been waiting to try this place for a while and finally decided to try it out and I was so disappointed and the food was not worth 50. I ordered 2 enchiladas plates and a menudo. Starting with the plates the sauce that they use looks and tastes like can sauce and was more like tomato sauce. Next with the menudo I was so excited to try it when I got home and saw that the meat was black. After that I couldn’t eat it so the whole thing went in the trash. I do not recommend this place at all.

What can I say other than this place has some absolutely DELICIOUS food! Went here for the first time and my wife and mother-in-law were in agreement. The salsa is homemade by this lovely older lady, whose son is the chef! The chips and salsa was great! The green salsa is their spicy one, it had really good flavor, but my spice tolerance withstood it very well. The red salsa was mild, but flavorful. The queso was also delicious! The steak fajitas were absolutely amazing and tender! And even their beans and rice is delicious! I cannot recommend this place enough! Absolutely delicious! UPDATE: They were amazing and brought out a dessert for my mother in law for her birthday, but she couldn’t have it because she can’t do gluten. It’s also apparently not on the menu yet. But, they apologized

My husband took me here for dinner, our first time here and I have to say it's absolutely delicious!!! Our waiter was very professional, kind and welcoming, checked on us several times if we needed anything and brought us whatever we need it right away. . Large portions, very friendly staff, big nice restaurant, big parking lot, lots of parking. They bring you chips and salsa when you first sit down. Today they had a special when you buy a beer love your choice you get free michelada. We ordered fajitas for two and let me tell you it was plenty of food, we even took food home. We also ordered chicharron with guacamole as an appetizer. ! Bomb!! Definitely would recommend this place! We will be back!!!

I had the pleasure of being blessed by the sweet family who owns this fine establishment by making me the perfect batch of chicken tortilla soup when I was sick with the flu. They were kind enough to customize the order and make sure the soup would be nutritious and healing and it did the trick! The food at El Viejon is delicious and the service spectacular. They have a wide variety of food options as well as a very welcoming atmosphere. There is plenty of parking and it is a great place to meet with a group or any special gathering you may wish to have and are open late. I can't rave about this place enough - definitely worth the stop and the hype! <3
