" Mariscos 'El Viejon' has the best friend shrimp I've ever tasted! I went there with my family for a special occasion, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was lively, and although it was packed, we felt taken care of. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, and I appreciated the recommendations. The pricing is fair considering the quality. Would definitely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an awful experience at Mariscos 'El Viejon'. The service was dismissive, and we waited over 30 minutes just to place our order. The food was underwhelming and lacked the flavor I'd anticipated based on all the great reviews. I am afraid I will not be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited after hearing rave reviews and I can say it was worth it. I had the best fish tacos I've had in a while. The place is lively, and even though it was crowded, we received attentive service. Pricing was reasonable, especially for the quality of food served! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great time at Mariscos 'El Viejon'! The camaron cocido was delightful and flavorful, and I loved the blend of spices in the ceviche. My only complaint was that the place got a bit noisy with the music. Still, the service was prompt, and the staff were very welcoming. I highly recommend this spot if you're craving authentic seafood. Can’t wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was alright but left a bit to be desired. While the seafood was fresh and tasted good, my meal was served significantly later than my companions' dishes. The restaurant's vibrant environment and live music make it a fun place to visit, but it could benefit from improving the timing of food delivery. I would consider returning but might choose a quieter time. " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely little spot with a cozy atmosphere! The food is fresh and delicious, but the service could be faster. I tried the fried fish and really enjoyed it. They also have a decent variety of cocktails. I might give them another chance, especially if I crave fish. " (*Curated Review*)
