Reviews highlight flavorful, generous tacos and birria at El Viejon, with favorites like lengua, cabeza and tripa, plus a notably fresh horchata; portions are plentiful and promotions such as all-you-can-eat tacos on weeknights add value. The atmosphere is described as cozy and lively with a warm, friendly staff and a Mexican vibe, though a few guests report mixed service and occasional delays, loud music, and some online order issues or missing extras. While some patrons miss beer on the menu and note occasional inconsistencies, the overall tone praises the food as savory, authentic and reasonably priced, making El Viejon a frequently mentioned favorite worth returning to.
Estuve buscando por varios restaurantes' mexicanos' y por fin encontré donde sirven tacos de los chidos, de puesto de la calle y eso es un halago. Hay de todo lo que extrano: tripas, buche, lengua, etc. Súper súper recomendable.

The best ayce tacos in town. High quality juicy meats & a large selection of tacos to choose from, some of which you can't find elsewhere. The cabeza & lengua tacos were particularly great & cooked well. The waiters were super nice & accommodating. Would definitely come back!
Los tacos estuvieron super buenos, bastante variedad además qué todos ellos entraban en la promoción de todo lo que te pudieras comer.
Totalmente recomendados! El agua de horchata... Buenísima!
Une excellente adresse pour des tacos authentiques !
J'ai adoré mon expérience chez Tacos El Viejon. Les tacos sont savoureux, généreusement garnis & pleins de saveurs mexicaines authentiques. Le service est chaleureux & rapide, & l'ambiance conviviale donne envie de revenir. Mention spéciale pour les sauces maison qui relèvent parfaitement les plats. Je recommande vivement !
This is the best Tacos i have ever tried in Montreal. Every dish is so delicious. The serve & the owner is so nice, they introduced & explained us a lots about the food & Mexico culture. They even gave us free traditional drink & candy to try & get to know more about their country. Such a happy experience!

Ate quesadilla with carnitas. Good amount of carnitas, needs more cheese definitely.. the onions accompanying the dish are delicious. Emiliano's service is very good.
3 things I did not like:
+ No beer (but it is still in the menu. The lost the licence 3 months ago. Menus should be changed). Should be said when you arrive. Not after you got the thirst for it & ask for one & they say there is no beer anymore. Beer is a MUST with tacos & quesadillas & the soups they make..
- too much noise in the restaurant : music in Spanish (I liked it) but they hasld a movie on the huge screen with the volume up, not sure why two sounds at the same time.
- the add outside says All you can eat for x DLLs but it is only Tacos.. should be specified on both sides of the add outside.
Still prefer the classic style of tacos, alambres, sopes & tortas & Mexican'breakfast' on weekends of la Matraca just next to it.
Tucked away below street level they specialize in street tacos. We were pleasantly surprised by how absolutely packed each taco was with very tender, well-seasoned meat-they definitely don't hold back. There are many types of tacos, quesadillas, & more on the menu-hearty, flavorful options in a cozy setting.
The friendly service made our visit even more enjoyable, with the staff being incredibly sweet & welcoming.
My friend & I took a chance with their 25$ all you can eat buffet. I don't know how I keep ending up at such delicious places really. The space is super cute & it gives family vibes, & they also have outside tables.
The food OMGG we were super hungry, & by the end, my stomach was satisfied. We ordered a bunch of different tacos so we can taste all of them. I was missing a few so I'd like to come back & try the rest 😆 My personal favorite was taco de cabeza, didn't remember to take a picture before eating it, I was too lost in the sauce. The food came fresh & hot everytime.
They all tasted great really, & our server was a nice lady, very amicable.
Wow!!! 😍 les meilleurs tacos que j'ai eu la chance de goûter à Montréal . La nourriture est fraîche & servi chaude , de plus les prix sont très abordables 5$ le taco environ. Je vous jure que ça en vaut le détour. L'ambiance est agréable, bonne musique, la journée que nous sommes allés il y avait des mariachis pour la fête des mères & le restaurant était rempli à craquer mais malgré cela le service a été rapide. Je vous recommande fortement de tester ce restaurant si vous voulez goûter des vraie tacos Authentique & délicieux 🤤 vous aurez des choix de tacos que vous ne retrouverez nulle part ailleurs de cabeza, de lengua, de tripa, de sesos… & j'en passe… une belle découverte!! Nous y retournerons !!! Merci encore pour ce délicieux repas!
Tacos were delicious, the salsa that comes along with it is amazing & the perfect amount of spice, lady who took my order was very nice as well. Got the 25$ all you can eat tacos. 😔 demolished 8
