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.
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
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
Tres bonne nourriture, tres bon accueil. C'etait l'anniversaire de mon ami & l'evenement etait vrmt incroyable. J'y retournerai avec ma famille & je vous conseille fortmement.
Ps : merci emiliano, très sympathique
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
Je recommande fortement ce restaurant. La nourriture est excellente & délicieuse. Le prix est très abordable si l'on compare avec les restaurants autour. Les vendredis 2 pour 1 sur les Quesadillas. Celle à la viande effilochée est très bonne & savoureuse.
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.
