This was our first visit to El Viejon Fortside and it did not disappoint! We ordered outside and got our buzzer. We went in and enjoyed Fortside while we waited. It didn't take long and our food was ready. I had an assortment of tacos. The shrimp taco and the fried fish were my favorites. It was great they have the salsa bar, I like the hot salsa option, it really brought it all home for me! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, great service, great location![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We got food while at the taphouse right behind it. The prices are good, and the food was fresh and hot. At first I was uncomfortable about 8 bucks for chips and salsa....until they told us the salsa was for a group (they give you a lot) and it's made fresh. I hate to say it....but I'd pay for the salsa again (the chips are only two dollars per bag). The empanada was amazing. By far my favorite thing I tried. I also loved the fried oyster tacos. My partner got the Pollo asada tacos and said they were great (he got pickled onions on them as a side). I highly recommend trying all of their salsas. Great flavor (especially the habanero) read more

I've heard a lot about this spot, the tacos are good. I wouldn't say amazing, but it's because I've eaten lots of tacos in SoCal. They give a lot of filling for their tacos and the corn tortillas taste delicious. Orders came decently quick and I could tell each order was made fresh. The staff suggested some of the popular seafood tacos people order and so I got those - the fried rockfish taco and the el gobernador. The el gobernador is something I haven't had before, lots of cheese stuffed in what seems to be two tortilla with lots of shrimp and there's some sauce. It was pretty good. The fried rockfish taco had freshly fried rockfish. Crispy, juicy, topped with cabbage, pickled onions and a sauce. I also got the carne asada and al pastor which was okay. Good amount of meet to toppings. I also got a Jamaica not pictured which was a nice refreshing drink. Based on their location, they are outside a brewery so you could also get other drinks. There's decent amount of parking here and there's indoor and outdoor seating. Overall good experience, definitely recommend their seafood tacos. read more

The crew at El Viejon make THE BEST tacos we've ever had! This is their second food cart, located next to the good folks at Fortside Brewing (their other food cart is located next to Vice Beer). Their entire menu of tacos, burritos, quesadilla, empanadas, ceviche, & their own twist on ramen is delicious, but we especially love their seafood options for tacos. And bonus points for having grilled fish tacos as an option so it can be gluten-free, yay! The owner & his team are really wonderful people, too. I recommend following them on Instagram for updates on soecials, and for drool-worthy pics of their tasty offerings. read more

Fantastic Mexican food. Yelp says they aren't open on Monday, but I am glad that is wrong. We are visiting from out of town and wanted to go to a food truck - we don't have them around us. We went to El Viejon and I had a chicken quesadilla and my husband had the shredded beef burrito. The homemade tortilla was a treat. My chicken was perfectly cooked, and the portion was huge. I took half back to the hotel. Hubby has a good appetite and he took half the burrito back as well. The mild salsa was a bit too fruity for me, but I liked the mild that came with the chips so that came along for dinner as well. Service was friendly and fast. I would definitely go back if I lived here. Thank you, El Viejon! read more

The sign that he has that states special of the day "brisket sandwich" $12.95 and does not state anything about plus tax at all. So that was a surprise. The other thing the sign does not say it comes with a small bag of lays chips either. I guess the chips he gives you is consolation for the fatty, salty, chewy, fatty small two pieces of brisket he puts on the sandwich. Plus who adds lettuce to a brisket sandwich anyways. I took two bites. The first bite was full of fat and tough chewy, salty brisket. The second bite the whole piece of fatty brisket came out from between the buns and the sandwich eating part for me was over. I left the bun, lettuce and pickles on the to go container and tried to choke down a bite or two of some of the salty, fatty, undercooked brisket that remained.

Sad that they deep-fry the potatoes even for a short amount which takes away from what could be amazing flavor of the bit of rosemary. Croissant was small and flaky not so much buttery. As a person who has traveled Europe many times just wish the cute ambiance translated to the table and service.

Chipotle Chicken Salad- no chipotle flavor was detected though...

Since the closure of one of my favorite Indian restaurants in Vancouver, I have been on a search…read morefor a replacement. I read that an Indian supermarket opened near the Vancouver Mall recently and offered home made food in its premises. The kids and I decided to try them out two days ago. The inside is small but clean. The front portion has about 10 tables for dining. It reminded me of any mom and pop Asian grocery/bodega store. The menu has the usual offering. We ordered the Royal lamb curry, goat kosha, the butter chicken thali, an eggplant side dish and their garlic naan. We were helped by a very friendly server/waiter/cashier. The food itself was AMAZING! The lamb and goat were tender, the sauces on all the dishes ordered were on point. The naan was warm, buttery, garlicky goodness. The kids loved the mango lassi drink. On our way out, I picked up some items from the grocery store and some samosas to go. The crust on the samosa was so good, the fillings delicious. I highly recommend this place. Since it's located in a mini mall, there's plenty of parking. Did I mention there's an eye brow threading in the same location? I believe it's also owned by the same people. No worries, it is contained in a separate area away from the food.

After hearing about this one for a while, I finally got to try it. I chose the butter chicken,…read moregarlic naan & chicken hakka noodles. I was also very interested in the desserts in the case, so I asked for recommendations from the gentleman behind the counter. We didn't wait long till our food was ready . Took everything home to eat & wow! The rice it came with was so fluffy, servings huge. The chicken had really good flavor & there was enough to eat again the next day. The flavor of the noodles were so different then I've ever had before. The garlic naan was perfect dipped in the butter chicken sauce. The desserts were really good, not super sweet & were comparable to something I've had before in other cultures desserts. Service was great & quick. Definitely will be back for more.

El Viejon is an amazing taco truck and definitely worth the stop! Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and packed with flavor. The tacos were made with well-seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and warm tortillas that brought everything together perfectly. The portions were generous, the ingredients tasted high quality, and every bite was delicious. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and you can tell they take pride in what they make. If you're craving authentic street tacos, El Viejon is a spot you don't want to miss. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu! read more

Order online via their website to save on the up-charges. I placed a big order and the site responded that it would be ready in less than 10 minutes, and it was. It was packaged very nice abc orderly with everything tasting fresh and delicious when we got it home. Lots of canned sodas and fresh Mexican drinks options on the menu. This food truck is parked in the lot of the Main Street Dispensary and there's always been plenty of available parking.

For only 5.95 each they were pretty large. The pupusas themselves were cheesy, satisfying, and flavorful and paired great with the tangy, fresh slaw on top. I appreciated how they provide a huge container of slaw and delicious hot sauces.

However, I wish it was bigger considering they charged $16+. We very much enjoyed the bean and cheese pupusas that were fulfilling enough to have 1 for each person. We ordered 3 and the cabbage was enough for 2 people. I recommend ordering extra if your 3rd person wants some as well. The place appeared clean and the workers were kind. Despite the cashier accidentally charging more and the price of it being higher than other spots we have been to, I would say you pay for the quality of the food. Other items can be overcharged (i.e a small fountain drink was $7).

Everyone enjoyed their meals. The menu was simple and dietary restrictions were clearly marked on the menu. There was also a cocktail menu with tequila based drinks and mimosas. Several food options were marked as gluten free. I had the chilaquiles. They were a good balance of crunchy and saucy. I would have loved some pickled onions or something to deepen the flavors, but the ingredients were fresh and tasty. They come with one egg, I paid extra to make it 2. One friend had the torta and enjoyed, and another claimed the elote pancakes were the best thing she's eaten in years. Overall a great meal and I wouldn't hesitate to go back.
