OK...ate here 3 times.
1st time lunch menu: app; the shrimp "coctel" (NOT ceviche) was really good with lots of shrimp. Had coctel in another Mexican & both were about the same; served the same way, etc. OH, but Viejo ran out of cukes. Forget what I had for entrée; it was ok, nothing to write home about.
2nd time: for dinner order the coctel again. Hardly any shrimp (2 shrimp cut up) with mostly juice/liquid, $17.99. Only reason I went back to eat here was for the coctel. App; chicken mole; chicken breast was thicker than the shoe leather chicken at Las Mañanitas/Fiesta Mexicana (both owned by the same people). BUT chicken was overcooked; just more shoe leather. UGH
Why do Mexicans or whoever cooks, overcook everything????
BTW, MY mole & salsa verde (made from scratch & my own tomatillos from my garden) is so much better!!!!
3rd time: Paella; freakin' horrible...!!! The mussels & clams were ok. The shrimp were HARD. NEVER had such hard shrimp before & they tasted like they were about to go bad. I should have spit them out in order NOT to get sick. The tiny 1/2 lobster tail was overcooked, dried out & hard.
AND I found some kind wrapper in my rice...!!!! WTF...!!! $25.99 for sh*t...!!!
Will not be returning.
I do have to admit the staff are very nice. I do NOT like that Viejo charges a patron who uses one's credit card so Viejo is reimbursed by the patron for Viejo's charge by credit card companies. Damn, how cheap can one get...???
OH...FOUND THIS PIECE OF WRAPPER IN MY RICE...!!! WTF...!!!! Viejo should recognize it...I'm sure.
