El Viejon Cocina y Cantina

We had the fajitas and they did not disappoint. The frozen margarita was good and strong. I loved it! I don't think I could pick a favorite part of the meal. The service was great, everyone was very friendly. Go support a locally owned business!

I wanted to support a new local business, but unfortunately, my experience here was frustrating and disappointing. We waited over 45 minutes for simple tacos, which felt excessive given there were less than four tables occupied on a Saturday afternoon. One of our orders was originally a burrito, but it took the staff 30 minutes to realize they didn't have the larger tortillas needed to make it. How it took that long to even start preparing our food is beyond me.Denton has plenty of great taco spots, and this place just doesn't measure up. Save your money and, more importantly, your time. If this is the level of service happening in the kitchen, I don't see this place sticking around for long. We just decided to leave and spare our time. Went half a mile down the street and was served delicious food inside 15 minutes.

I recently heard of this place and wanted to try it out. There was no wait when we came here, and we could pick wherever we wanted to sit. They have a nice decor with different sentences written in Spanish which makes it feel like they put some thought into what you see as you enter the restaurant.They gave us salsa and chips quickly. I would like the salsa more spicy but my wife liked it.They had a special on appetizers when we were here, 25% off. We got the queso with beef. It was pretty good, it had more zing to it than the salsa.They have a fairly extensive menu, if you like Mexican you will definitely find something that you like. I ended up getting the "pollo con mole". I haven't run across many restaurants around here that serve that dish so I was curious. The chicken breast was nice and thick and even size. The mole sauce was good, it had a bit more heat than I expected of mole. It was also served with veggies and rice and also charro beans. I made sure to save room for dessert and we got the churros with ice cream. It was a good size, enough to share for 2-3 people. Good tasting churros and the ice cream went well with it.Overall it was a really good experience, the service was good, the GM also checked on us to make sure we were happy. We'll definitely return and try some of the other dishes they have.

Food is excellent, has variety of hot sauces. servers are attentive , very informative with answering any questions of various dishes.

I second whoever said this was the best Mexican food in DFW. I had carne asada fries and my boyfriend had the campechano torta and both were extremely good. I just moved here from San Diego and have been looking for Mexican food that compares to the kind i'm used to and I finally found it here. The ambiance is chill and the service was fast and really nice servers. These people know what they're doing and I highly recommend!

It was really delicious! I had a Paloma from and it was super delicious and flavorful, I would have liked to have seen in it in a cantarito cup but that's to each their own . The food was great I had tacos and my boyfriend had a protein bowl. The salsas were great as well. I would like to see this place packed one day maybe live music would be fun ! Super amazing and you could see that the ambiance is perfect and spacious for big events. Definitely going again !
