    **Mexico Viejo in Elkin, NC** is hands-down the ultimate fiesta for your taste buds! From the moment Eduardo welcomed us with that warm, infectious smile, we knew we were in for a treat. The Chimichanga? Crispier than my Wi-Fi at home and stuffed with pure joy. The Birria Tacos? Juicier than the latest gossip at a family reunion. And the Molcajete? Oh, it was a sizzling cauldron of deliciousness that made my mouth sing Mariachi! To top it all off, we enjoyed top-shelf liquor and beer that made our spirits soar higher than a piñata! The service? On point and faster than a taco truck on a mission. Eduardo and the team at Mexico Viejo deserve a medal--or at least a round of applause! If you're in Elkin, don't walk, run to this gem!

    The service was great. Very kind and friendly staff. There is limited seating for parties over 4 because the restaurant is small so we had to wait a while for our party of 6 to be seated. The food was delicious. Will definitely go back.

    Chips /salsa was very sweet with a side of (wtf ) sweetened ranch dressing! I could not fathom ranch dressing on Mexican food!

    Oh how we wanted to like this place. New owners, new decor, New menu seemed very promising. We came in on a Saturday afternoon. It was busy with out of towners. We got our seat pretty quickly. Service was good menu was diverse. Food was very chemically processed. I think I got chipotle MSG sauce. They served a spiced ranch dressing with the salsa (gag) . The wife got a weirdly sauced and processed carnitas plate like carnitas from spam. We both spent the better part of the afternoon a little queasy one of the first giveaways should've been that they were serving shots in a restaurant with about 60 seats. And multicolored margaritas were flowing on all sides. they don't have a bar so they're making them from a mix and the go for a neon Saturday margaritas are not the same crowd going for quality Mexican food. If you want ranch dressing and chips , neon margaritas and shot specials this is the place for you! I wish them well but not my place.

    Clean, nice people, good food. Elkin is on the up and up and new shopping areas are being developed near 77. This restaurant is in the Walmart shopping area next to Dollar Tree. The salsa is good, chips fresh, and typical Tex mex food. Nothing special but fair prices.

    This place is huge! If you tell someone you are meeting them there, you better specify specifically…read morewhere, because there's an outdoor area, a downstairs indoor that is more like a pool hall, and multiple upstairs areas. Anyhow, I found myself here after a hot day of golf outside of town, and this was the perfect place to please everyone, get a cold drink, and something tasty to eat. Beverage wise, I was too dehydrated to jump into beer, so I just pounded a bunch of water while there. Food wise however, we had lots of tasty things. The hot chips app that comes drizzled with bbq sauce and ranch is better than it sounds, though I preferred the pickle chips for sure. To me, the star here were the wings. They were nice and large, plump with plenty of meat. I had a korean sauce and a hot honey sauce and thoroughly enjoyed all 10. Maybe even had a leftover drummy or two from some of my companions. Would come back here for more casual eats and drinks again!

    Walked in on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated right away. The vibe was great and the decor was…read morespot on. The hostess and our waiter were very friendly and helpful. The draft list was only accessible by scanning the QR code. Not normally an issue for me but it was a little annoying since my cell service wasn't great in this area. I finally got it to pull up and asked for the Angry Troll PB Porter (I forget the name), the waiter asked if I wanted a sample first and I was so happy he did because it was not very peanut buttery to me. I decided to try a can of Docs: Pumpkin cider which ended up being a MUCH better choice for me. It was delicious. We started with some cheese curds as an appetizer. The kids split a kids cheese pizza (it comes with fries) and my bestie and I split a Philly Cheesesteak pizza. The cheese curds were amazing! I didn't try the kids pizza although the fries seemed a little over seasoned, especially since they were served to kids. My Philly pizza was not great though. The primary taste was banana peppers. Not meat, not cheese...the vinegar-y, sour taste of banana peppers. I was not a fan. Then the bill comes....I guess I should have asked for the price of the cider (NONE of the beer has a price listed.) My CAN of Doc's cider was $9.50. Not sure if that's normal in this area but in Durham, that can would have only been $6 (MAYBE $7.) TLDR; service - good, drinks - expensive, food - hit or miss.

We had carnitas street tacos, rice, beans, guacamole, and flan. The tortillas and chips are made at the restaurant and are amazing. The guacamole was excellent!

At first when we found out it was karaoke night (Friday) inside we were a little put off BUT when lots of Latins/Mexicans started arriving and the music inside started, I was lifted into a fun foreign country atmosphere instead of small town America! What a treat! GREAT food, GREAT service, fun drinks, very reasonable prices....not your run of the mill Mexican food or ambiance. Highly recommend the Shrimp Ceviche, probably one of the best I've ever had - would include an order of rice with that. We also had the single Chile Relleno with meat sauce, $6 and nice portion, excellent taste and value! Absolutely worth every penny.
