You place your order, wait about 15-20 minutes, and then call once you've parked in the designated spots to let them know you've arrived. We each ordered 3 tacos on flour tortillas: I went with the taco of the month (two taquitos), a pastor, and a stewed beef (Suerdo). Hubby got a Suerdo, a pastor, and a chicken tinga. We also split a $3 side of queso--pro tip: it does NOT come with chips. Good thing we were prepared and muled our own chips just in case. We also brought our own sour cream, because, you know, always be prepared. This is definitely an eat-in-the-car kind of deal, so BYO napkins because it was messy, and none were provided. And maybe a fork if you don't want to go full caveman on your tacos. Now, let's talk flavors--the pastor was incredible, easily worth the mess. And those taquitos? They should be on the menu permanently. Just eat them quick because they're packed in foil with some tomatoes and lettuce, so they get soggy fast. But hey, it's all part of the adventure, right? All that food for $22 plus tip was a steal! I mean, where else can you get a taco feast that tastes this good and feel like you're part of some secret club?

Meh. Overpriced…read more Just opened & attached to the gas station convenience store - which kinda sounded right up my ally - but execution is everything, and this place was pretty disappointing on all levels I care about (service, price and deliciousness). The cashier was pretty uninterested and uniformed on the menu. Without much help (even though we asked for it) we ordered a "taco special plate" (comes with 3 tacos and rice and beans) - we chose chicken (which was literally chicken with ZERO seasoning), pastor (nice pink color, but no pineapple taste to be had) and a Beef Desebrada (the best of the 3, a stewed meat). The beans were dry and the rice was meh. I had a quesadilla with pastor, it was fine, I guess, well grilled. Came with a small smattering of lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. I ate it - but I won't crave it - or ever come back. For my money there are FAR better places to get your Mexican food on, my most recent discovery of "Side Door Tacos" is 100x better and half the price. For $30+ bucks (including tax and tip)??, no bueno!! We were the only ones in there and they were BLASTING the TV so loud that you could barely have a conversation... then the acoustics in there must be horrible, because they started an order of something chopped on the grill, and it was so loud, the guy could have been at the seat directly next to me.

Service was really good. The cook was friendly fast and efficient. They opened at 7 and were…read moreready to go at 7 so that was awesome. The price is pretty good but that maybe because the actual burrito is very average. I thought it was going to be good but when they took all the fresh ingredients and cooked them together with the egg substitute :( it just made this like mushy combination of everything. Basically, if you want to get in and out with a very average breakfast burrito, there ya go. I'm hoping to find a better breakfast burrito out there for sure.

Its a ton of meat for $14. Salsa was not my profile. Service was very slow, especially since there was one front of the house. There was at most 3 other individuals eating on a random weekday and our food took over 25 minutes. Pupusa good, everything else was meh, I would not go back since pupusas are not my personal kind of food.

I ordered the Tour of El Viejon and my husband tried the pulpo. My plate came with four different dishes, and I loved all of them. Especially, the seafood tostada had a lot of shrimps and pulpos, AND full of queso! That was my favorite. My michelada was also great. Perfect amount of seasonings and it was so refreshing. The service was slow, but I understand that the place was packed on the day. Overall, I really liked the place and can't wait to go back and try other dishes.

(English down below)…read more Saliendo del aeropuerto DFW, busqué algún restaurante que tuviera sopa de mariscos; no sé de dónde vino el antojo. Entre varias opciones apareció El Viejón. Revisé el menú en línea y las reseñas, y manejé 13 minutos para encontrarme con una verdadera maravilla. Lo que me encantó: La atención fue excelente. Nos atendió Nidia, quien no solo es muy amable, sino también servicial y eficiente. Adolfo, el gerente, es un tipazo. Lo simple pero importante: Sus vasos de plástico, tan originales. La sencillez y el humor del menú. Los precios son justos para la cantidad que sirven. Lo que me dejó impresionado: La sopa de mariscos. Este tipo de sopas es sencillo: o la sabes hacer o no. Si no, termina siendo como la de Pappadeaux--para llorar. Esta sopa, en cambio, tiene mariscos abundantes (cangrejo, almeja, pulpo, pescado, camarón, calamar, etc.). El sabor es ligeramente dulce y cada nota se distingue con claridad. Muy recomendada. Una sola sopa es más que suficiente para una persona. Esto último lo aprendí demasiado tarde, después de haber pedido también el pulpo a la plancha, que terminé llevando para casa porque era demasiada comida. Mis únicas dos quejas: Las tostadas que ofrecen vienen con un pollo que parece atún, pero sabe a plástico. Mi perrito iba conmigo y ni siquiera él quiso comérselo, lo cual dice mucho. Algo raro ahí. La otra es la música: demasiado fuerte y del mismo género. Si el objetivo es honrar la cultura mexicana, hay muchísimos géneros entre los cuales escoger. Digo yo... no sé. Mejorar estos dos detalles llevaría la experiencia en El Viejón a otro nivel. ¡El Viejón, recomendadísimo! ------------------------------------- Leaving DFW airport, I found myself craving seafood soup--no idea where the craving came from. I searched for nearby options and El Viejón came up. I checked the online menu and reviews, then drove 13 minutes, only to discover a real gem. What I loved: The service was excellent. Nidia took care of us--she was not only kind, but also attentive and efficient. Adolfo, the manager, is a great guy. The simple but important things: Their plastic cups are surprisingly original. The menu is simple and humorous. Prices are fair for the generous portions they serve. What truly impressed me: The seafood soup. This kind of soup is simple: either you know how to make it, or you don't--and when you don't, it ends up like the one at Pappadeaux... something to cry about. This one, however, is loaded with seafood (crab, clams, octopus, fish, shrimp, squid, etc.). It has a subtle sweetness, and you can taste every distinct note. Highly recommended. One soup is more than enough for one person. I learned that lesson too late--after also ordering the grilled octopus. I had to get it to go because it was simply too much food. My only two complaints: The tostadas they serve come with chicken that looks like tuna but tastes like plastic. My dog was with me and wouldn't even eat it--which says a lot. Very strange. The other issue is the music: too loud and all from the same genre. If the goal is to honor Mexican culture, there are so many genres to choose from. Just saying--I don't know. Fixing these two things would take the experience at El Viejón to another level. El Viejón--highly recommended.
