El Viejon Seafood is a restaurant situated in a strip mall, known for its delicious seafood and lively atmosphere. The small size of the restaurant makes it less suitable for large groups, but it is an excellent spot for lunch. The menu features unique dishes, such as the Las Aguachile, which comes in a black sauce that is as hot as the devil's soul. This dish combines cucumber, red onion, radish, lime juice, and shrimp, served with a side of avocado.
Another popular dish is the Manolarga, a queso birria taco with an octopus tentacle, lightly fried and perfectly seasoned. The tender pulpo blends well with the Birria in the taco. The restaurant also offers smoked tuna taco and smoked fish taco that are must-tries, along with shrimp tostadas and whitefish dishes.
The prices are a bit higher than other restaurants in the area, but the freshness of the ingredients makes it worth it. The lively Mexican regional music ambiance fits the place just right. Parking can be a challenge, with limited space as in all of San Diego, but there is ample paid parking behind. The service is excellent, with staff being patient and helpful. The restaurant-made salsas are a highlight, and they also serve a large, delicious guacamole served in a molcajete that’s super fresh and citrusy. Overall, El Viejon Seafood is a great place to try authentic Mexican seafood with a punch of flavor.
