Taqueria El Viejon is a popular spot known for its authentic Mexican street tacos and delicious tortas. Customers consistently praise the fresh bread and tender steak in the steak torta, which offers a balanced flavor experience. The steak tacos are highly recommended, with perfectly cooked corn tortillas that have a light crisp and well-seasoned meat. The tacos al pastor are especially praised for being made on a "trompo" and done right, providing a magnificent taste with a good kick from the red sauce, which adds a flavorful heat. The variety of tacos, including carne asada, al pastor, pork, and chicken, are all enjoyed, with many noting the amazing seasoning and perfect sweetness and savoriness. The restaurant mainly caters to carry-out, with no tables but bar stools available for quick bites. Service is quick, prices are fair, and the food maintains high quality with consistent excellence. Cleanliness is also appreciated, making Taqueria El Viejon a favorite for those craving authentic, flavorful Mexican street food.
