El Viejo Mexican Restaurant Reviews

Everything was authentic and delicious. My husband's Al Pastor tacos were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. My fajita quesadilla was perfect! I suggest that if you are in search of a quaint, comfortable restaurant with a nice atmosphere & delicious food, then El Viejo is your place!

Wow! What a find. The staff was welcoming, friendly and attentive to our table. The food was second to none. Flavorful and fresh. Salsa was out of this world. Can’t wait to return.

One of the best atmospheres for a restaurant. They are having a good time serving you, are very attentive, and always tell you "see you tomorrow" when you leave. Food is good and comes out quick. Love this place!

The menu has many good options. The portions are large and at fair prices. We had multiple people check on us and everyone had a smile and made it pleasant to be there. We had Vicky's burrito and vegetarian fajitas. I appreciated the variety of vegetables included that you do not normally get elsewhere. Highly recommend this place!

The best servers if you know a little Spanish. Very friendly and the best margaritas. The food serving is well worth the price I always have leftovers.

The two waiters were rather preoccupied, but I have to give this Grace we were in to eat at like 3:30 on a Sunday afternoon. Beyond that the food was good and the drinks were yummy

This place was AMAZING and one of the best mexican restaurants I've been too. All this food was about $18! The staff came to my table many times to check on me. Decor inside looked neat too. A+++ Bonus that I could walk to it from my hotel room.

Working on moving across state for work, needed someplace open later than most to grab dinner on a preparation trip. Food was good (not Iowa good, proper good) and the people were great! And the prices were very reasonable. We stopped two weeks in a row! Will definitely be back.
