Very nice Mexican Grill, Trio Enchiladas was dynamite, rice was perfect, chips warm and fresh, salsa top notch and the cucumber ranch dip (or whatever it was) was amazing. Probably one of the best if not the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been too. Pricing is very very fair if not under priced.

Probably one of the nicest and best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been too! The service was amazing! Food came quick and hot! Beautiful inside! And everything even down to the chips and salsa was perfect! I WISH I lived closer to South Boston cause this place would see me everyday!

It’s actually really beautiful in there and the service is really fast and incredible. I actually noticed that almost everywhere we went in Virginia had incredibly friendly service and fast service. My issue with it is that I ordered Carne Asada, and it was pretty much flavorless…
I also got steak nachos and the steak on. It was really really good, but I had very little cheese.

Nestled in the heart of South Boston, VA, Mexico Viejo Mexican Grill boasts an impressively large seating area that invites diners to settle in and savor the vibrant atmosphere. As soon as you step inside, the colorful decor and warm lighting envelop you, setting the stage for a delightful culinary adventure. Whether you’re dining with family, friends, or that special someone, there’s a welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home.
One of the standout items on the menu is the Supremo Burrito. When it arrived at my table, it was a sight to behold—its generous size wrapped in a warm, soft tortilla, glistening with a hint of sauce that promised a burst of flavor. The first bite was a fusion of fresh ingredients and zesty spices that danced on my palate. While I found the rice a tad overcooked, it paired nicely with the burrito, which, despite not being as “supremo” as its name suggested, was still a satisfying experience. The flavors were spot on, and I appreciated the freshness of the ingredients.
Accompanying my meal was a beef tamale I had ordered, only to receive a chicken one instead. While I had my expectations set on beef, the chicken tamale turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It was crafted differently than any tamale I had tried before; the texture resembled a formed cornmeal rather than the traditional corn dough. It was intriguing, and despite the mix-up, it was delicious and hearty, served alongside rice and beans that complemented the meal well.
The staff at Mexico Viejo are friendly and eager to help, though I did find them a bit forgetful. My orders needed to be repeated several times, and I ended up with the wrong tamale. However, their enthusiasm and willingness to accommodate made the experience feel more personal rather than frustrating. They genuinely care about your experience, which adds a layer of warmth to the dining atmosphere.
The building itself is beautiful, with its open seating arrangement creating a sense of community among diners. It’s the type of place where laughter and conversations blend seamlessly with the clinking of dishes, adding to the overall charm.
In terms of value, Mexico Viejo offers a solid dining experience for a mid-range price. It’s perfect for families looking for a casual night out, couples wanting a cozy dinner, or food enthusiasts eager to explore flavorful Mexican cuisine. The complimentary salsa and chips were a nice touch, with the red salsa being particularly enjoyable, though I wasn’t a fan of the green salsa, which had a mayonnaise-like texture.
Overall, if you find yourself in South Boston, VA, make sure to swing by Mexico Viejo Mexican Grill. It’s a place where good food and a warm atmosphere collide, making it well worth your visit!

The atmosphere of this place is awesome. There was a lot of money spent to make this place look extra cool inside. Staff was very friendly and professional. Menu is large and has many things to choose from. We ordered our food and it did not take long to get our food. Food tasted great. If I am in the area, I would love to eat dinner here again.

The food and service was absolutely fantastic. Our waiter, Diego, was the Best and took super good care of us from the time we arrived until we departed the restaurant. We ordered the Texas Fajita and the Fajita Mexicana, Table 14, Order Number 6047. The chips and salsa with two tall cold Strawberry Margaritas were on point, preparing us for the main attraction. We even enjoyed quickly showing our car to a few of the workers who had some questions. It was another great visit and meal as we routinely cruise from Richmond, Virginia, to Mexico Viejo for authentic Mexican Food and Ol’ Skool-like family service; thanks again, and see you soon. v/r, Dr. & Mrs. King.

I enjoy this restaurant. The atmosphere is great, the food is usually good, and I adore the Dia day Los Muertos decorations. Our waitress was the sweetest thing you’ve ever met, but she was so glassy eyed, and unorganized, we started to wonder if we would ever get to place our order. She would pop up, ask one question, then wander around a bit, and pop up again. It took her longer to take our order, than it took to cook our food.
The food was good, myself and my step mom both ended up with to go boxes, as the portions are generous. I did want a to go drink, but our waitress vanished after dropping off the bill. We spent quite a long time at the restaurant, thankfully we were not in any hurry.
