El Viejon
4.1 / 5 (143 reviews)

Description

This lively Mexican spot blends festive live music, photogenic oversized cocktails and friendly staff with inconsistent food and service. Standout dishes — like a juicy chicken chimichanga, chorizo tacos and a well-spiced menudo — sit alongside underseasoned entrees, dry sides and poor chips and salsa. Drinks are a draw, but guests report long waits, missing orders and occasional billing issues. Great for a spirited night out or cheat day, but expect uneven execution and possible delays.

Fantastic food and drinks! I really enjoyed my Margarita and Chorizo Tacos. The portions were just right, and there was a live band playing. The staff was very friendly, and our waiter made sure we had everything we needed—I truly appreciate great customer service. I will definitely return! Food: 5/5

I've been noticing this place on Instagram, and I finally decided to visit. The food was truly outstanding. Additionally, there was a live band performing while we were there, which added to the atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the wide selection of drinks. Food rating: 4/5.

The food was good, and the service was satisfactory. My only complaint was that I prefer to have all my drinks served at the same time. Overall, it was quite impressive, but I found the place to be mediocre considering all the hype surrounding it.

My friend and I came across this restaurant on Instagram reels and decided to give it a try. We really liked the way they presented the drinks, and the large sizes are perfect for sharing between two people. As for the food, we ordered the Alambre and nachos, which were decent, but next time we plan to try their seafood—it looked delicious and seemed to be a popular choice among other customers that evening.

I ordered the Molcajete and Menudo, and to be honest, I somewhat regret getting the Molcajete. The meat wasn’t seasoned well, the beans served with it tasted old, and the rice was quite dry. However, the Menudo was good and had a nice spice to it. The Michelada was just okay. Overall, I would rate the food a 2 out of 5.
