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.

The service at this place was very good. The kindness of the staff & the peaceful atmosphere made our stay very pleasant.
The tacos al pastor didn't really taste like traditional pastor, & they didn't include pineapple, but they did have onions, which added a nice flavor.
Their campechano & Tijuana-style tacos are exquisite, & the delicious horchata water is definitely a bonus ⭐?

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
