Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had dinner there tonight: chicken chimichanga and chicken enchiladas. Both were very good and served hot and quickly. Margaritas were excellent. A little pricey for Mexican food but inexpensive overall for Copenhagen.

Mediocre. I can do this better at home Containers so small, they were too small for the chips to dip in. But since the amount of salsa was so small it is a good thing that I could only dip the tip. The extra micro...bowl guacamole was made of not quite avocados. All in all a very underwhelming experience. The tomato salsa tasted strongly of Passata, you know the cans from the supermarket and it looked like it. A tiny bit of taste added… nothing spectacular. It said “home made” on the menu. That home must have low standards. It was eatable , pleasant enough to finish, not good enough to repeat the order. And I hate these Scroogy , tiny amounts of salsa or guacamole. I felt like I needed to budget the sauce or I would be without dip in the end. I ordered a Mexican shrimp cocktail. The shrimps strangely tasted like that sugary chili sauce from the supermarket with some added cayenne pepper. I must have misunderstood the menu. It said mango salsa, but the sauce element was not there at all. Maybe I misread and it said mango salad . Presentation was cute, but served in a very stale tortilla eatable container. I was also missing the crème fresh but I found it in the end, a whole spoon full in the back , bottom of the not so eatable container. It came in handy. I had a bunch of lonely chips looking for dip. Was it bad? No, not really. Was it good? Not really. The service was friendly.More

I really enjoyed my experience in El Viejo Mexico. They serve Mexican dishes with danish twist which is fantastic option if you’re looking for unique culinary experience in the heart of Copenhagen. I especially recommend trying their chicken fajitas in combination with some of the...amazing cocktails. You’ll not be disappointed!More

Amazing! I’m a very picky person but wow, this restaurant was just something else. I had the chicken wings as appetizers(amazing). Later on I had the chicken fajitas which was one of the best dishes I have had in my life. The staff was so...sweet and the bartender made amazing drinks ( I recommend the mojitos). I thought I was in Mexico. Recommend highly!More

Nice enough food, but quite expensive for small portions and very little variety between the dishes. The cocktails are especially pricey for a lukewarm product.

I have been to this restaurant twice and both times we had a magnificent experience. Staff was friendly and responsive, some allergies and preferences were clarified. The food, it was amazing! The best mexican food in my life, combination of tastes and the spices make...it unique. I recommend to visit that place with your family and have a nice, cozy evening or come with friends on a Friday night to enjoy some Margaritas.More
