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.
Tu sais que tu es dans un restaurant mexicain authentique quand le menu est en espagnol 😁😂. Je dois le dire, les tacos sont DÉLICIEUX, ils font partie de mes tacos préférés (mes tacos préférés étant les tacos de Blancs que je fais moi-même 😜). De plus, il y a des promotions, par exemple du lundi au jeudi il y a tacos à volonté pour 25$. Le service est très bon. La musique mexicaine qui joue rend l'atmosphère encore meilleure. J'y suis déjà allé quelques fois & je vais y retourner souvent!
Je suis venue pour mon dîner d'anniversaire & je ne regrette pas.
Fernando a été très accueillant, patient & chaleureux.
De plus, l'offre de tacos illimités à 25 $ vaut vraiment le détour, car ils étaient très bons!!
La atención de la senorita que atendía excelente, amable y atenta en todo momento (lamentablemente no le pregunté su nombre para felicitarla), pedí unos tacos de tripa bien dorada que sabían delicioso 🤤, llamé antes para preguntar si aún había y me regresaron la llamada en menos de 5 minutos para confirmarme. Excelente servicio y buen sabo
Soy muy exigente con los tacos, pero sin duda ellos me sorprendieron: ¡muy ricos! Especialmente los de cabeza, ¡una delicia! ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? Les quito solo una estrella porque cuando he pedido en línea no siempre me ha llegado todo lo que pedí, sobre todo con extras como cebolla, salsas u otros anadidos por los que pago doble. Aun así, sus tacos valen mucho la pena y las chicas y chicos que atienden son muuuy amables.

If you really know the definition of'good tacos,' you go there! They have a good variety of traditional tacos, such as Cabeza, Lengua, & more. The sauces are perfect, with the perfect texture.
I strongly recommend them as a Mexican who has traveled & tasted a lot of tacos.
Tacos are good, kinda small for 5$ each
So expect 40$ bill with a can of soft for 5 tacos small & you may be still hungry.
I don't know if they give the same portion for all you can eat & when you order like for each tacos, but they should check on that. Otherwise the flavor & service are good
Nos atendió el chico Fernando Aguilar y fue muy amable en el servicio, hay cotorreo y los tacos son buenos la verdad, gracias el viejon, volveré algún dia
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 ⭐?
