" This was my first time at Mariscos El Viejon, and I’ll admit I was nervous about not being able to use a card since I rarely carry cash. The food was worth the hassle, though! I had the fish plates and it was delightful. The atmosphere feels authentic, and the service was commendable. A few of my friends loved it as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about Mariscos El Viejon and finally gave it a try. The food was superb, especially the nachos with seafood topping. However, the waiting time was quite long, even when the place wasn’t busy. The interior is simple, nothing fancy, but clean. Overall, I’d say it’s worth it for the food alone, but be prepared to wait a while. " (*Curated Review*)

Each time I order their mixed tacos, I'm blown away by the freshness and the rich flavors that remind me of my trips to Sinaloa. The staff is always friendly, and the place has a cozy, welcoming vibe. Make sure to try their signature micheladas — they’re the best in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love authentic seafood, you must visit Mariscos El Viejon! The camarones al mojo de ajo is a dish that blew me away. Rich flavors, cooked to perfection. Service was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The only downside is that it's a cash-only establishment, but the quality is absolutely worth it. I’ll be returning for sure!

" Mariscos El Viejon has a reputation for quality seafood and it's easy to see why. Their grilled fish is simply divine! The surroundings are nothing fancy but cozy enough. Just be aware of the cash-only system when planning your visit. A reliable spot for great seafood! " (*Curated Review*)

" Truthfully, I wasn’t expecting much when I walked into Mariscos El Viejon, but I was blown away by the tacos. They’re incredibly flavorful, and the shrimp were so fresh. The service was also very welcoming, and the prices were fair. Just a little hard to find parking, but definitely worth the trip! " (*Curated Review*)
