About El Viejon Seafood & Bar

El Viejon Seafood & Bar is known for its tasty ceviche, including the Ceviche Rojo, and offers a variety of Mexican seafood options, including Aguachile and Pulpo a la Parrilla. Customers can expect quick and attentive service, with great customer service, making it a recommended spot for a pleasant dining experience, whether in a small or large group.

The seafood is described as delicious and fresh, with the Pescado relleno (stuffed fish) being a highly recommended dish. The Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus tea) is also praised for its delicious taste, and the POWERFUL margaritas are highly recommended. The ambiance is inviting and lively, though sometimes the music, such as Mexican banda with bad language, may not be enjoyable for everyone. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing a fun and lively energy to the dining experience.

Customers highlight the authenticity and flavor of the Tacos El Viejón, which feature a cheese crust and are filled with octopus, shrimp, and scallops cooked in butter and arbol peppers. The Huachinango (deep-fried whole red snapper) is also mentioned as being cooked to perfection.

The restaurant is known for its great fresh Sinaloa-style seafood, and the food is consistently good. Customers recommend visiting on the weekends when the seafood tastes much fresher, and the atmosphere is more lively. The grilled octopus and stuffed avocado are also praised as delicious dishes. While the food is good, some items like the botana mix can feel a little overpriced, and the pulpo molcajete may not have much guacamole. Overall, it is a good place if you’re craving Mexican seafood.
