You will not get what you order 60 percent of the time , much like room service in an all inclusive hotel . The food is basic not as good as La parillia, not as bad as la Hacienda. I will give them a few starts because their alcohol drinks are great. If you are going for a cocktail and nachos your in good hands . If you expect your salad dressing on the side or have a dietary restriction stay away. The place is fine, but has a really weird bleach & Fabulosa smell .

Due to a language barrier we could not get her to understand we wanted "one" - uno combination to share between two people. Not two plates, uno! We got two full plates. We asked for a cheese dip. She brought the menu and asked, "you want guacamole or queso dip". We pointed at the queso dip and thought it was clear. Nope! We got beef queso, which was nowhere near the location of regular queso on the menu. $11 for a sort of large dip. Way overpriced and not what we asked for. My wife went and spoke with the manager and we ultimately gave up trying to explain, paid the bill and just won't be back. We will just go get steak for this price.

Some of the dishes walking by me looked good. they had plenty diners during lunch. the guacamole was yum. the tacos were flavorful. I'll come back. Only complaint is the price on menu is not what I was charged. Check-out price per item was higher.

Large crowd came just as we were wrapping up. Restaurant is nicely decorated in authentic Mexican designs. We enjoyed their homemade chips and salsa while having our beverages and waiting for our food. I didn't have any alcoholic drinks so I can't comment on them but the selections on the menu sounded delicious. The chips were light with a nice crunch just the way I like it. My friends commented the spicy and mild salsa were flavorful. I ordered the Steak and Shrimp Fajita which came out sizzling hot and tasty - seasoned well. I substituted rice for fries and a traditional salad - no guacamole or pico de gallo. My friend's Pineapple Fajita was not only cool looking but also tasty from the few bites I tried. Our other friend enjoyed his steak tacos. Overall it was a great experience. I unfortunately forgot our server's name who was extremely nice. She was familiar with the menu and gave me perfect recommendations along with making substitutions. We all appreciated her timeliness with checking on us and offering refills. Her excellent service made our experience even better. Highly recommend them whenever in the mood for good Mexican food.

The tacos were mediocre and my drink must have been a virgin because I didn't taste any alcohol. The waitress only took my order, brought the food and returned later with the check. She never came back to the table to check on us or to offer anything else. When I went up to the bar to pay my bill, I was charged $25.90 and I left a $4.10 tip since she didn't do much. July 2nd, I checked my account and seen that I was charged $71.90 instead of $30!!!! I called up there immediately to discuss the matter. I was told that it would be best to come back and bring the receipt. I returned on July 8th and asked for the manager. I was told there was no-one there to speak with me. Well I explained to the waitress what the issue was, showed her a copy of my receipt that I scanned in using Fetch and my bank statement. She went to the back to show the manager (who I was told wasn't there). She came back and said that I needed the original receipt . I asked her to see the signed copy of my receipt and was told they no longer have it because it was last week when I came in...lol. They kept making excuses so I sat at the bar and called my bank. While I'm quietly waiting on hold, an officer walked in. A lady came out to meet him and they spoke in Spanish so I'm not sure what was said. She showed him a receipt that was in a zip lock bag . He then came over to me and asked what was going on. I explained it to him as well. After I finished, he informed me that they didn't want me here. I sat at that bar trying to rectify the issue for almost an hour and now all of a sudden they didn't want me in their establishment. I didn't yell or acted out in any type of way while I was there from 5pm-5:50pm. I walked out with Sgt. Ortiz Ramos who was not in a marked police vehicle. I disputed the $41.90 over charge with my bank. I'm pissed from the way this was handled. So many red flags so I know something underhanded was done. Why you couldn't show me my signed receipt and why was it in a zip lock bag????

I'm always on the hunt for a good Mexican spot, and I've found one that feels like an invitation…read moreinto someone's home. El Viejon is a family-run operation. We're talking Abuelita in the kitchen, cousins out front, and a husband-and-wife team keeping everything moving. It's warm, inviting, and authentic; this isn't your standard Tex-Mex. The Spread The menu is expansive, offering everything from all-day breakfast to specialized street snacks like esquites, quesadilla, wings, and burgers. Chicken Tamales (Green Sauce) $4.50 each: We kicked things off with these, and they were good texture. The masa was soft and steamed, with shredded chicken which means every bite has a little of everything. The green sauce added a bright, tempered acidity that really elevated the seasoned meat. The Tacos $2.99 $19.99+: They offer both Mexican (corn tortilla) and American (lettuce/tomato) styles. While the American version is an option, the traditional corn is much better simple, and flavorful. Choripollo $18.99: This was one of my fav. It's a grilled chicken breast topped with smoky chorizo and seasoned potatoes. I loved the balance here; the chicken was lightly seasoned, allowing the rich, savory chorizo and potatoes to lead the flavor profile. The potatoes were lightly crisp and seasoned. Churro Cheesecake Pancakes $10.99: You don't usually see a full breakfast menu at a Mexican spot, so I had to try these. They were light and fluffy with slightly crisp edges, but the Cajeta (caramelized goat's milk sauce) absolutely elevated the entire dish. It was rich and sweet but perfectly balanced and not overwhelming at all. Drinks: The tamarindo juice is a must. It's got that signature sweet-yet-tangy kick, and for the price, they bring you a full 32 oz pitcher for $4.50. The margaritas, starting at $8.99 16oz were equally refreshing and well-made. Other Items Tried For dessert, we also tried the Tres Leches. While the flavor was there, it was my least favorite of the spread simply because I prefer my cake fully soaked, and this version was a bit drier than I like. I also sampled their Mole; the staff was kind enough to give me a taste, but the flavor profile just wasn't for me. Service & Value The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. You can feel the "all hands on deck" family energy. However the staff tries to be attentive but sometimes appear to scramble and forget items, needing reminders. They haven't been open a year so lead with grace. The prices are reasonable and comparable to other restaurants.
