" Our family enjoyed a great meal at Mariscos El Viejon! The tacos al gobernador are a must-try! The flavors were outstanding, and everything felt homey and inviting. We had a slight hiccup with our order taking longer than anticipated, but the staff was friendly and explained it well. This restaurant has earned a new fan! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this place, but I have mixed feelings. The ambiance is nice and the staff was friendly, but my shrimp cocktail lacked some kick – it was bland compared to what I’ve had elsewhere. The portion sizes were decent, but not enough to justify the cost. Plus, I was also bummed out that they only accept cash. Overall, it’s a decent spot if you’re nearby, but I might try another restaurant for my next seafood craving. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mariscos El Viejon is a hidden gem! The food here is simply delicious and incredibly fresh. I had the marlin tacos and they were some of the best I've tasted anywhere. The atmosphere is casual and pleasant, but be prepared for it to be a bit busy. They don’t take credit cards, which I found inconvenient, but the quality of the food makes it worth a trip to the ATM. I'll be back for sure - there’s so much more to try! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I decided to try Mariscos El Viejon after hearing many friends rave about it. We were impressed from the start. The staff greeted us with smiles, and the service was prompt. The food was fresh, particularly the grilled octopus; it was grilled to perfection. We loved the lively atmosphere and will definitely be back for more amazing seafood! " (*Curated Review*)

" The fish tacos were to die for! You can taste the freshness in every bite. The atmosphere is lively, and I enjoyed the vibrant decorations. The wait staff was attentive, which made the experience even better. It was cash-only, which was slightly inconvenient, but I will come back for sure! Definitely recommended for seafood lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hesitant to go after reading mixed reviews, but Mariscos El Viejon proved to be a delicious choice. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. The highlight was the aguachile; it was tangy and perfectly balanced. The only downside was the slow service, probably due to how busy they were. I will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely dinner at Mariscos El Viejon. The atmosphere was still lively, and the service was attentive. I enjoyed trying the shrimp enchiladas, which were great! However, my partner’s fish plate wasn’t to his liking and he commented about the fish being overcooked. Overall, a good experience but we might explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)
