" I decided to try Mariscos El Viejon because I heard great things about their ceviche. The ceviche lived up to the hype! It was incredibly fresh and zesty. The only letdown was that the atmosphere was quite chaotic; it was packed! I understand good food gets busy, but it was hard to enjoy with so many people around. I’ll definitely return for the food, just perhaps on a weekday " (*Curated Review*)

" If I could rate this place higher than 5 stars, I would! From the moment I walked in, the scent of fresh seafood drew me in. The shrimp tacos were heavenly, and I could eat them every day. The service was a bit slow at times, but the food makes up for it. This is my new go-to seafood place in town, hands down! Just make sure you bring cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was not as remarkable as I expected. The service was decent, but the food lacked seasoning. The micheladas were great, but my main shrimp dish was just average. I liked the cleanliness of the restaurant, and it was quite spacious, but for the price, I hoped for more flavor. I may visit again, but next time I’ll choose something different. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a great time at Mariscos El Viejon last week! Started with their botana de camarón, which was superb. My wife loved her shrimp tacos, while I had the grilled fish plate – both were bursting with authentic flavors. The staff was very attentive, and they made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy authentic seafood in a fun setting. The only downside was that it was a bit crowded, and we had to wait a little longer for our food. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic mariscos, Mariscos El Viejon is the place to be! I was truly impressed with the quality of fish they serve and how well it was prepared. The ceviche had the right acidity and freshness. The atmosphere is also friendly with a relaxed vibe despite being busy. My only regret is not getting the botana platter which I heard is fantastic. Next time! " (*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*)
