El Viejon is widely praised for authentic Mexican flavors and generous portions, with a standout lineup including cabeza, lengua, tripa, birria, and al pastor, and tortillas that arrive hot and flavorful. The all you can eat tacos promotion is repeatedly cited as a great value, though a few notes mention extra charges for toppings or cheese and occasional discrepancies with online orders. The horchata, salsa textures, and sauces receive frequent praise, and the meat is described as juicy and well seasoned. Atmosphere is described as lively and welcoming, with friendly service and a lively Mexican soundtrack that contributes to the vibe, even as some find the noise level high. A few reviewers mention slow moments or delays to place orders or fetch drinks, but many say service remains strong and attentive. Compared with other Mexican spots in Montreal, El Viejon is often ranked among the best tacos in town, celebrated for authentic flavors and a family friendly, convivial dining experience. Overall, guests leave satisfied, noting flavor, value, and hospitality.

Ordered on Uber eats the birria was amazing. Absolutely packed with meat, 6 corn tortillas & bag full of cilantro onions & limes. $20 could feed a small family. The salsa came in bags which made it weird & awkward to pour out that's my only gripe

This place is surrounded by multiple other Mexican restaurants & still manages to stand out. Ive tried almost everything on their menu since they opened & I havent been disappointed once. The staff is friendly & kind & will accommodate for your needs & the all you can eat from Monday to Thursday maintains the same quality as a la carte. Highly recommend. My only complaint would be needing to pay extra per birria for cheese. I would be fine if it was a part of the cost by default & was 6.50 instead of 5. Other than that, fantastic restaurant.

Tacos were ok the birria was my favourite I didnt like the flavour of the chicken ones however, THE HORCHATA is the best one i have ever had & have been craving it since! So delicious fresh & light get that! Prices on menu are also not the real prices so beware of that

This newer Mexican restaurant is one of the better ones I've been to in Montreal, & that's a list spanning over 20 restaurants so that's saying something! I thought it was funny that I got consomme with my Cabeza tacos as they weren't birria. Ended up being very wet when I used it as these tacos aren't meant to be dipped in that but I tried it anyway. Salsas are proper, great quality food overall & didn't take too long. I got a bit of an awkward greeting at first but service was ok afterwards. I went for the Dabest special.
