We ate at La Viga Seafood & Cocina Mexicana. It was nice. I thought it would be a bit fancier because I saw it recommended somewhere. The seafood dish with different kinds was really good, especially the shrimp. The tacos cost $6 each, which seemed a lot, but they tasted great. The chips were the best part—they were not greasy and very crunchy. They gave us two kinds of sauce; the green one was the best. The cold beer was also really good with the food. Even though I expected something a bit different, we liked it a lot and want to go back to try more dishes.

We had a reservation for 5 but were seated at a 4-top with five placemats at it...not ideal but we made it work. I think they were a little understaffed as it took a while to get drinks, waters, etc. But they were quite busy. The food is excellent...fresh, flavorful, interesting. The service was better on a previous visit when the restaurant wasn't as crowded. I will definitely go back.

Great spot! Ceviches and tacos are on point. Do your self a favor and check it out.

One of my favorite restaurants, ever. Always the same crew, small kitchen, small menu, satisfying food. I love the cochinita pibil because it's not replicable at home and their tacos with homemade corn tortillas. If you're gluten free this restaurant is safe!!! The horchata is more complicated with coconut milk, and the michelada is my husband's fave. The cauliflower appetizer is comforting and vegan!

The food is always fresh and flavorful! We especially like the different types of tacos and the shrimp quesadilla dishes. The Service is always friendly, prompt, and attentive and we love going there for lunches. The only issue is limited parking on Broadway.

The food was tasty and with fresh ingredients, but overall I was not amazed by the meal and dished. 5* to the ceviche and churros. The service was slow and we had to keep on repeating our

Great, creative Mexican seafood, nicely presented. Good sangra, too!
The food was wonderful with seafood and non-seafood options. The cocktails were unique and delicious. We loved the music they were playing in the background...and it wasn't too loud. The staff was so nice - they accommodated all requests very quickly and graciously.

Excellent upscale but casual Mexican cuisine. Everything is super flavorful, high quality, and presented with care without being unnecessarily fussy.The skirt steak is one of my favorite meals in the area, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

The food tasted great. However, some items came out lukewarm and the service was very underwhelming. They messed up our drink orders and made a mistake on the check. Thank goodness we paid attention. Overall, it was OK but not worth the drive since we live on the east bay..
