" Disappointed after trying their highly recommended tacos. While the flavors were good, they were not as outstanding as I had hoped. The place did feel cozy and inviting, but the service was somewhat slower than I would have liked. Would maybe consider coming back to give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Could be better. The food tasted alright but nothing wowed me. The service was friendly, but they seemed a bit flustered when the restaurant was busy. I had the Birria platter but it was somewhat bland for my taste. I might give it another try since I heard other dishes are better, so here's to hoping! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally made it to El Viejon, and it was worth the wait! The menu has a variety of seafood dishes, and my fish taco was huge! The batter was crisp and the fish was tender. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of food for the price. I would absolutely come back again. Great job! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! The seafood at El Viejon is top-notch, with their shrimp tacos being especially flavorful. I was worried about portion sizes, but I was pleasantly surprised by the generous servings. Service was also top-notch, as the staff was attentive and accommodating throughout our visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stop raving about the seafood here! Everything feels freshly prepared, and the flavors are always lively. The ambiance is perfect for a casual outing or special occasion. My family had the Torre de Mariscos and we were amazed at how decadent it was. Can't wait to bring more friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I celebrated a birthday here, and El Viejon did not disappoint. The atmosphere was lively, and the service was prompt. Each dish was vibrant and full of authentic Mexican flavors. The ceviche was a favorite among us, and the kids devoured their fish tacos. We left feeling satisfied and will definitely return for future celebrations. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to place for a casual but flavorful meal. The portions are generous, and they always serve the food hot and fresh. I particularly enjoyed the Marlin tacos; they were tasty with just the right amount of seasoning. The owner came by to check on us, which I thought was a nice touch. A fantastic spot to enjoy some good seafood! " (*Curated Review*)
