Jose, met me immediately upon entering and the service never stopped. I started with the Ceviche, which for myself was a bit over powering at frist from the lime, but i quickly adapted. I had the 4 Asada tacos with Spanish rice and Charo beans. I finished my meal up with a enormous slice od homemade Tres Leches cake. I travel now full time and i truly encourage anyone who is looking for real home cooked fresh delicious Mexican to give these fine folks a try.

I have been waiting to try this place for a while and finally decided to try it out and I was so disappointed and the food was not worth 50. I ordered 2 enchiladas plates and a menudo. Starting with the plates the sauce that they use looks and tastes like can sauce and was more like tomato sauce. Next with the menudo I was so excited to try it when I got home and saw that the meat was black. After that I couldn’t eat it so the whole thing went in the trash. I do not recommend this place at all.

What can I say other than this place has some absolutely DELICIOUS food! Went here for the first time and my wife and mother-in-law were in agreement. The salsa is homemade by this lovely older lady, whose son is the chef! The chips and salsa was great! The green salsa is their spicy one, it had really good flavor, but my spice tolerance withstood it very well. The red salsa was mild, but flavorful. The queso was also delicious! The steak fajitas were absolutely amazing and tender! And even their beans and rice is delicious! I cannot recommend this place enough! Absolutely delicious!
UPDATE: They were amazing and brought out a dessert for my mother in law for her birthday, but she couldn’t have it because she can’t do gluten. It’s also apparently not on the menu yet. But, they apologized and brought her out a flan that looks and tastes absolutely amazing! PERFECT flan! Wonderfully creamy, beautifully balanced flavor and sweetness! Oh my goodness I’ve found my new favorite Mexican restaurant!!!

My husband took me here for dinner, our first time here and I have to say it’s absolutely delicious!!! Our waiter was very professional, kind and welcoming, checked on us several times if we needed anything and brought us whatever we need it right away. . Large portions, very friendly staff, big nice restaurant, big parking lot, lots of parking. They bring you chips and salsa when you first sit down. Today they had a special when you buy a beer love your choice you get free michelada. We ordered fajitas for two and let me tell you it was plenty of food, we even took food home. We also ordered chicharron with guacamole as an appetizer. ! Bomb!! Definitely would recommend this place! We will be back!!!

I had the pleasure of being blessed by the sweet family who owns this fine establishment by making me the perfect batch of chicken tortilla soup when I was sick with the flu. They were kind enough to customize the order and make sure the soup would be nutritious and healing and it did the trick!
The food at El Viejon is delicious and the service spectacular. They have a wide variety of food options as well as a very welcoming atmosphere. There is plenty of parking and it is a great place to meet with a group or any special gathering you may wish to have and are open late.
I can’t rave about this place enough – definitely worth the stop and the hype! <3

Hands down best tacos we’ve had anywhere in Denton, the pastor specifically was tiers above all others. The salsas and queso we had were also all very good.
What stood out the most was how nice everyone was to us and the level of service. Our bartender Jose made some amazing margaritas for us and took the time to get to know us a bit. The owner introduced himself as well and everyone was very welcoming. We’ll definitely be back for a mariachi night!

My boyfriend and I went here tonight (Wednesday) an hour before closing time. We were served by a wonderful dark-haired young lady with the cutest little tattoos on her arm who provided excellent service, but the real treat came when our food was served. Never have I been so impressed and enjoyed EVERYTHING, from the chips and salsa to the main course. The salsa was unique and incredibly flavorful, and my carne asada torta was out of this world. From the meat to the sauce used, it was an absolute delight consuming this sandwich and a memorable experience. My boyfriend’s shrimp cocktail was phenomenal, with a fresh burst of flavor from the use of some kind of fresh herb or spice, no doubt. And the atmosphere was so authentic! My hispanic boyfriend was singing along to every song. Thank goodness the place we planned on going was closed and we were able to try this place! I will be telling everyone I know about El Viejon Cocina y Cantina. You will thoroughly enjoy this restaurant.

Hey! Red from Render Texas Delicatessen , yesterday I saw someone mention El Viejon and posted food that looked like I needed that NOW. Mind you l was doom scrolling at 2am so food had to wait….
I have been absolutely non-stop thinking about runny refried beans, you know, the kind that takes up half the plate and runs into everything. Exactly what the picture showed and the queso looked 10/10. I went to bed thinking about this place
I made sure Chef and I went for lunch.
Oh. My. God.
-Salsa was perfect with chips that pair wonderfully (I got a bag to take home with left overs)
-Queso was delicious and HELD ITS HEAT! Sorcery is the only explanation. It’s flavor profile gives a peppery white american blend.
-Asada Corn tacos (I believe you can mix up the meats if you wanted)
Heaven, I died and went to heaven. I loaded those bad boys up with the fixins and I could drink that green sauce if they would let me. I swapped the charro beans for the refried beans and they did not disappoint, exactly what I was looking for
-Chef practically licked the bowl clean on the Fajita Chicken Protein Bowl.
We WILL be back. I could not be happier with this restaurant. Immediately went and added them to my voted for list for Best of Denton while I was waiting for the check.

This place was fantastic when it first opened but something has happened. It takes an act of congress to get service. The queso and protein bowl tastes like a garlic salt block. Our burps and farts were smelling and tasting like garlic even into the next morning.
