Hey y’all! How’ve you been?? It’s been a little while since we last reviewed a restaurant for you, but last Friday we got to attend a special tasting for Viejo’s Tacos Y Tequila and we wanted to tell you all about it!
First of all we sat at the most incredible table of people, and had an amazing time chatting with everyone and making new friends. Viejo’s definitely knows how to throw a good party! Our server was so sweet, and very accommodating. All of the members of the staff were so eager and excited to serve us, we really felt special! We got served 5 courses from start to finish and to drink they served us what will be their house margarita. (Oh boy, is it a kicker!) So we started with a fresh ceviche that was made with Tilapia, and garnished with fresh tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, and lime juice. I’m not a huge fan of fish, but gave it a taste and actually I found it really yummy. The fish was fresh, (I HATE a fishy taste, if it smells fishy I won’t eat it!) and it looked beautiful too!
Next came the tacos, and we got to try 4 different kinds. They served us a Carne Asada, a Chicken, a Pork, and a Fish taco. Everything had amazing flavor! My absolute favorite was the Chicken, but it does have a bit of an after bite to it, and will kick you in the pants if you aren’t careful! The Pork taco was served with a fresh mango salsa which was amazing! They’ll be making a couple of tweaks here and there before their grand opening this June, but overall the flavors they have created are unique and delicious! Viejo’s will be a great little tapas bar, serving mostly tacos and finger foods with a great bar filled with local Tequila. We can’t WAIT till they open, and will be there with bells on every chance we get!
Basically, they are tortilla chips soaked in enchilada sauce, baked, and then they sprinkle cheese on top. I remember watching Diners Drive Ins and Dives one night, and Guy was trying Chilaquiles…I was like “What???” Chips soaked in Enchilada sauce?? Sounds like MUNCHIE food to me, and umm…fattening?? Well…what can I say?? Yes…yes it is but it’s also delicious! We went to Jalisco’s Taqueria as soon as it opened and this was the very first thing I tried on their menu, it’s absolutely sinful! The chips are always tender but not soggy; the enchilada sauce is really tasty and just spicy enough. They sprinkle Queso Fresco on top. it comes with refried beans and potatoes, and you can get the perfect bite with one full swipe of your plate. MMM
