El Viejon Mexican Grill

This was our first visit to El Viejon, and overall we were very impressed. I ordered the chori con carne, which was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. My wife had the Quesadilla Texana, and it was just as delicious, packed with flavor and very satisfying. The restaurant itself was very clean, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. The fountain Cokes were especially crisp and refreshing, which is always a plus. The only small drawbacks were the lack of white sauce and the salsa, which wasn’t chunky at all and tasted like it may have come from a can. That said, the food was authentic, the prices were very reasonable, and we would definitely come back again.

I have to say I was so very happy for El Viejon to open in Bowling Green! I was not disppointed. It was a delicious, flavorful meal! We spent $45 for drinks, queso and 2 entrees. Staff work3d together calmly, nicely to make sure all guests were taken care! We will be back. It was Great!

Picked up a to go order today. Paid over $60 for 4 meals. The meal portions were kind of on the small side. The chips and salsa that was included had half a bag of chips (actually quite stale tasting) and three 2 oz. souffle cups of salsa. You really don't get much bang for your buck here, but the food is decent, although I had to add salt to my consumé for the quesabirria tacos since it was flavorless broth. The music is very loud and this is coming from someone used to their grandpa blasting mariachi music in his basement. But if you are lacking in the melanin dept. this restaurant is good enough for you. You probably wouldn't know the difference, but my grandma is from Texas and my great grandparents from Mexico City. Believe me, we know.

Great experience! Food was great. We had the chicken faquitas and birrias. The happy hour was great too!😃$5 dollar margaritas and $3.50 drafts, 7 days a week. The salsa could use a little more spice but the taste of the food out weighs the salsa. The waitress was great too, great conversation. Will definitely eat there again!🤩

Let me start by saying the food is good here, no complaints. Just do NOT order a sweet tea or unsweetened tea at this establishment. They have absolutely no idea what they are doing. On several occasions, my table received what looked like glasses of water when we ordered tea. Several occasions, like three visits in a row. Can the employees not see that the tea is clear like water? Is there a nationwide shortage of tea bags? Are we cutting costs by using two tea bags instead of the 20 required? In all seriousness, get it together. On my last visit, the tea was watery and the restaurant didn't have any C02 for the fountain soda. So Mexican cokes in the bottle had to work. The food here is very good, but it's a shame that you can't get a decent glass of tea at this place. Very frustrating.
