Tacos El Viejon

This is my absolute favorite Mexican food place. The asada tacos are second to none and they always include Chiles toreados which is my favorite part of the meal. Some places don't do spicy salsa well but tacos el viejon does it really well. Their rice is excellent too. The staff is always nice and welcoming and the atmosphere is super chill. If you want good mexican good this place is legit.

I wanted so badly to like this restaurant based off of their menu, but I just didn’t. It started with the cheese dip. You pay $6 for a tiny bowl that’s barely big enough for one person. I ordered the quesabirria tacos and I liked them okay but the fajitas were simply not good. I am used to fajitas that are heavy on the meat with veggies added in, but their fajitas were essentially a bed of onions with literally 6strips of meat placed across the top. The flavor of the fajita chicken was simply not good. The 3 strips of steak meat was the best part of the dish and it was just okay. The rice was a plate of dry mush…it was weird. As for the atmosphere, flies everywhere! I couldn’t take a bite without shooing a fly away. It was annoying and kind of gross bcuz if it’s that way in the front of the house, what’s it like in the kitchen?? I doubt we will visit this restaurant again. There are too many other options and I’m not willing to risk repeating such a bad experience.

Wasn't my best experience dining out, to say the least. Ordering was slow & awkward. Service is weird. Tip has to be decided right when you walk in. Food was pretty good. Definitely still relishing in the food truck days, as everything was served on paper plates with disposable silverware.

If you’re looking for amazing street tacos, this is the place. My husband and I ordered 4 corn tortilla tacos. Pastor, Asada, Pollo, & Chorizo. Best tacos we’ve found in a long time. Pastor was my favorite. Excellent flavor. Served with grilled onions and jalapeños on the side. Toppings bar excellent as well. Fresh and clean food.

I love the food here but the last 2 times I have been here they forget to add avocado to my torta. Which makes me very mad. The first time they had no excuse, and the second time they said it was bc they have new hires. Which i dont believe. I asked the lady who took my order if there was avocado in my meal for the same reason and she said yes. I got home, and no avocado in 3 meals (tortas) i had bought. Very upset. All they said they could do was give me a meal. And I was like, what about the other 2 two you messed up there order for the second time? I will not be coming back, and will not recommend this place at all. I rather go to taco bell at this point. Just a dry bun with meat, onion and cilantro on it. Oh and they still asked for a tip when I was paying for my food. 😒 We wont be coming back

Currently resides in a food truck outside their soon to be open restaurant. This family is friendly and fast. There is always a line because it is good, but the wait is usually only a few minutes and the food is worth it. The pastor and asada tacos are especially satisfying. It will be nice when the restaurant opens, but the good truck is very convenient.

I paid 50$ for 1 burrito 2 steet tacos and a torta. I ordered online and when I got home and started eating.... magically I have 1/3 of the food I ordered . If you want good Mexican food get it from white restaurants. I'm sure if my last name was Sanchez or Ramirez my order would have been right

Was okay, food was hot- fresh from the kitchen and sweating on the table hot. Only few draw backs, food is pricey and they asked us if we wanted flour or corn tortillas, we said flour, they brought us corn ones anyways.

Tacos El Viejon was recommended by a family member. The service was good chips, and salsa were good, atmosphere was good. Food came out fairly quickly. Would recommend to a family member as well.

Muy buen servicio. Mis padres y yo vinimos aquí por primera vez y nos gustó la comida; los totopos caseros, en particular, fueron excelentes. Mis padres no hablan español, pero el mesero fue muy educado y amable. ¡Vamos a regresar!

By far one my my favorite spots in not just Olathe, but the city. The service and food (tortas are my favorite) are always amazing. Would recommend over and over! The new remodel looks fantastic as well!

Alambre was delicious. My ten year old daughter called the rice "spectacular". Service was also great. Looking forward to making this a regular stop for us!

This new food truck is currently located in front of a restaurant that is being remodeled to soon carry the Tacos El Viejon name. They offer tacos, burritos, tortas, quesadillas and mulitas (with nine different protein options) and a variety of bottled beverages. They do not offer sides like rice or beans. My two pastor (pork) and two pollo (chicken) street tacos ($2 each) were served to go eight minutes after I ordered at the food truck window, where the service was just accommodative. The authentic street tacos were nicely packaged for transport, with warm meat and tortillas packaged separately from the chilled toppings. I also received three salsas with various heat levels - mild, medium and a red sauce with a lot of heat. I liked the generous amount of meat, which was tasty and nicely diced - not too big and not too small - on fresh, warm, 4" double layer tortillas with a good quantity of fresh toppings. I wish they would post prices, and the 4% surcharge for credit cards seems antiquated, but overall, this was a very very good, reasonably priced lunch experience.

Overcharged us and messed up our order, plus the food is mediocre at best. Tortillas were so dry and the meat was bland.

Authentic and delicious. Visited food truck location in north kansas city. Did not disappoint. We had a variety and they were all delicious. Street tacos with spicy salsa hit the spot. The burrito was amazing and flavorful. The torta was filling and so good my son said he wanted to order another. Great food.

ordered nachos but nothing but chips no guaca no sour cream just chips with a spoon full of meat.. SMH

These tacos used to be my favorite, but sinse they took on the restaurant. They're slacking big-time they're trying to do too much and serve too many things in there just letting it go. My tacos were served almost cold. The tortillas were dry. The toppings on the topping table were crap. The lemons were brown and bitter the onion was transparent and this was one hour after they had opened, which means they just had old topping from previous days in there. I'm not joking when I say, I almost felt like I needed to call the health department to report it I'm a big supporter of this place because I love the taste of their food but whoever's managing this restaurant is not doing a good job. Please do better I wanna go back. For now if somebody's looking for a good tacos, go to Bonito Michoacan just down the street. At least they're consistent with their quality. Also this places price for their Horchata and desserts it's just wrong.

Very good authentic food. La Nueva taco truck had the best Al pastor tacos but they recently moved to another location. This taco truck is just as good in my opinion. In fact I'd argue that the marinade for the Al pastor is a little better as it's more saucy. My only gripe is they don't have pineapple for the Al pastor. Seems like a miss especially since there are pineapple graphics right on the truck. That's an easy thing to fix though. I'm just grateful there are some good quality authentic tacos near where I live. I miss all the amazing Mexican food from Chicago but this is at least competitive with what I'm used to. Looking forward to them opening their restaurant. Hopefully they will have good dishes like carne con Chile, chilaquiles, pozole and more. Nice job with the great food and I wish you luck as you open your restaurant. I'll be back for sure!

Dry meat not very tasty would give it a zero if I could it didn't meet my expectations good service and nice people but very bad food wouldn't waste your money or time

Really great tacos. The al pastor and suadero (similar to brisket) are delicious. The salsas are also really good. I ask for the red and green. They have a few different ones. Tacos seem to be $2/each. I order to go and they come with the toppings separate which is nice. I've bought tacos from here three or four times now and they've been consistently good each time. I also tried a mulita which is basically a quesadilla but with corn tortillas and it was also very good.

I live in Lawrence Kansas and drive to get these tacos. There's always a line but it's just proof of how good everything is and is so worth waiting for. I love all their meats so far. Their quesadillas, and tacos are amazing and I love their spicy salsa

I thought I was never gonna find authentic tacos in the Olathe area. A few Mexican restaurants around here. But none of them serves actual street tacos. This place serves tacos, burritos and mulitaas along with some great tasting salsa (the mild and the hot) and steamed onions. We have found ourselves addicted to these tacos and now we don't have to drive all the way down to the middle of the city to get authentic tacos. Thank you very much.

Amazing tacos!! All garnish is on the side which is great! Wish I found this place sooner

Don't order the fajitas. 1st everything was over cooked crispy , steak had no flavor , chicken too salty , shrimp asss, and rice no good . $17 plus tax for it . You will enjoy Taco Bell way more

Excellent, Authentic Mexican cuisine at a great price! I highly recommend trying them out!

I just had tacos from here and it was so good and satisfying. The Pastor is great, the chicken wasn't dry and the chorizo was very tasty. It is located where the old Olathe Downtown Diner used to be. I'll be going back to try a burrito!

Really good Al pastor. Like another post I wish there were pineapples but it's still tasty. We had Al pastor tacos and quesadilla and chicken tacos. All were very good. I'll be coming back to try the burritos! Hope to visit the restaurant when they open.

do not go here. food is overpriced, the staff is extremely rude, and the food is terrible. $8 for a cup of horchata. that was 80% ice and barley any drink. don't waste your dinero here

These are the best Authentic Mexican tacos Ive ever had and cant beat the price. Paid $10 for 4 tacos. I highly recommend it!!!
