Mexico Viejo Restaurant - Mexican restaurant in Encinitas - 1465 Encinitas Blvd e, USA

You can always tell a Mexican food place is pretty good because they have a salsa bar with options. The food was a great portion and delicious. The star was super friendly and helpful. Lots of options to choose from too.

This place. Oh my gosh. This place has by far the best rolled tacos on the market. The craftsmanship is exquisite. Each bit has equal part guacamole for cheese and the last sixth of each taco is left bare so there is a place to grab them to eat. As you bite, the crunch factor is incredibly high where you are rewarded with a delectable shredded beef interior; all for under $6. Absolutely mind blowing. Add this place to the list men, it will bring warmth to your soul.

A group of 6 of us went there for ther first time. Ordered menudo, machaca, carnitas, breakfast burrito, among other items. All was fresh, tasty and generously portioned. The salsa bar had a great selection of mild to spicy salsas, condiments as well and pickled carrots and onions. Not a fancy restaurant, but clean and comfortable. Most of us had leftovers to take home!

I went in this morning for a breakfast burrito. There were 5 employees working (only 1 customer) and none of the employees were at the counter. The manager saw me waiting and continued to eat his meal. Finally, someone came to the counter and took my order. He seemed very upset that I was bothering him. He then went on the make the worst breakfast burrito I’ve ever had - using soggy French fries instead of fresh potatoes. Definitely a 1 and done for me.

Great fish burritos! Just simply good food! Kid friendly as well: they made a plate of just cheese and meat for my picky niece when she was little.

Enchiladas didn't have much flavor. The people were nice.

Wow, lived around the corner for a year and finally tried this place. Wish I hadn't waited so long! First off this is one of the cleanest restaurants I've ever been in and the while time I was there they were constantly changing which is quite unusual these days but makes the food taste even better I think. Just came for a breakfast burrito which was fantastic with chorizo. The salsa bar is great and they actually bring the heat which is the perfect touch on a burrito. I'll be back soon to try out more of the menu.

First time here soft pollo asada taco excellent I will return
