Mexico Viejo Mexican Restaurant

Very clean atmosphere, staff is very attentive, and the food is always delicious, this is one of my favorite restaurants. I always enjoy myself every time I come in. Always a pleasant atmosphere.

Stopped in on a cold, snowy Tuesday evening. Seated fairly quickly. Good menu selection, and I selected the fajita burrito. We got a serving of hot chips and salsa while we waited on the food. The burrito arrived and was warm. The white cheese sauce was good but would have preferred a red salsa. The burrito was good and was a large serving. Service was good, and Juanes was attentive to us. Overall, it's a good, solid Mexican restaurant.

I really liked this place. Not sure why the ratings are so low. The food was fresh and well prepared and the servings were generous. Service was good. Ask for the hot salsa when they bring your chips - very spicy and addictive. The chicken soup was rich and full of meat and veggies. Great for cool weather. Squeeze plenty of the accompanying limes into the soup. Yum.I stole bites of rice and beans from my tablemates - well seasoned and definitely worth stealing. The Diablo shrimp was prepared well but not as spicy as one would expect with a name like that. Good ceviche tostada - fresh and not fishy at all. Only complaint was the house margarita, which was a little sweet for my taste. Not bad, just not great. More lime would probably fix it. Recommended.

The food was amazing. I had the Hawaiian Fajitas and it was so large that I couldn't finish it all. Everything was served fresh and there were no complaints from any of my party.

Part of the La Huerta group of restaurants. Has a nice location and large serving area. They are one of the places where you can have Official Razorback shaped chips with your salsa. Service is usually good and efficient. Margaritas are good and in a large glass. Usually pretty busy during peak hours but large enough to handle a crowd. Love their refried beans which taste like they are cooked traditionally, with lard. Never had a bad meal there and I've been going since they opened about 25 years ago.

SOS. HELP. Don't step foot in this "restaurant"Mid way through my meal I began to regurgitate my food and crawling for the bathroom. The staff were not helpful at all and the service was terrible. The chick working the counter was very rude and unpleasant. Appeared my food was infested with a feces like liquid substance. Just don't cum here.

Mexico Viejo might be just the best Mexican food and restaurant! When we walked in we were seated immediately and were asked drinks right away. As soon as she came back our server was very kind and on point! I got the Speedy Gonzales and it was the perfect portion and was great! And just like in the name everything was very speedy and we got the check right away! The ambiance and vibe in the restaurant was great and it could not be greater the place is great and hopefully it stays that way!

Very neutral in my option, it wasn't bad or good the ambiance was ok and the staff was present but seem lacking. Like i said just neutral.

I had the steak fries, they were pretty good. Not San Diego good , but the best I have found in the area.

The food was ok. The salsa was way watered down. The guacamole was great. The chicken, spinach, shrimp dish was ok but the chicken was cut to be 1/4 inch thick and tough. The shrimp was great. The carnitas fajitas had good flavor but it was so dry it pulled moisture out of my mouth. The lime Margarita had zero alcohol and tasted like cleaning chemicals. Oh wait that was the horrific smell of Fabuloso they used to clean the tables. The only server was totally amazing and nice for being the only one there working her tail off as the hostess, waitress and bartender.
