El Viejon Birria and Seafood

Fish taco 2.50 Tuesday. Comes with pico, cabbage, Chipotle, sour cream, and salsa.I bought one fish taco while waiting for a to go order at a nearby restaurant.This one $2.50 fish taco was 1000% better than the $60 worth of food I bought elsewhere.Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

Hola. Espero este mensaje sirva para mejorar en unas cosas que son importantes para el crecimiento de el lugar.Somos de Bonita y hemos estado probando la comida de este lugar, la comida está bien, pero faltan muchas cosas importantes que aquí se las describo.1. El servicio de las personas que trabajan enfrente tiene que mejorar, van alas mesas y no recogen los platos sucios, no se adelantan a que necesitas, uno tiene que estar revisando todo porque siempre se les olvida algo.Por ejemplo.... Acabo de ordenar una tostada el viejon y no me pudieron tostadas, no pudieron tenedor etc, cosas básicas.La penúltima order que hice adentro olvidaron darme un taco que ordené.La mesera le falta mucho.... Otra cosa no pueden trabajar con las camisas todas sucias y manchadas dan mal aspecto..Espero tomen en cuenta que este mensaje es con el fin de ayudar y que mejoren.Saludos y seguiremos apoyando

Favorite fried fish tacos in SD! They have a great Taco Tuesday special, with $2.50 fish tacos. They're delicious and really large. Their other tacos are also great - my favorites are smoked tuna, marlin, and fried shrimp in addition to the fried fish tacos. El Viejon has easy parking and lots of seating also.

Stumbled upon this restaurant looking to try new restaurants in the area. I had the Birria tacos, fish tacos and shrimp ceviche tostada. Birria was very flavorful was definitely a must with the consume. The fish tacos not bad and are $2.50 every Tuesday. The winner here was definitely the Shrimp ceviche tostada. The tostada was fresh and crunchy. The ceviche had the perfect balance of flavors. If you try this spot out, I recommend the Shrimp ceviche tostada. Will definitely be back.

New spot in town. Been here a couple of times.Tacos: We ordered the gobernador (shrimp & cheese), spicy octopus, breaded shrimp, and breaded fish taco. All were good. The breaded shrimp was my favorite of the bunch as the shrimp was plump and flavorful. The tacos were portioned well. We thought it was interesting that all of their tacos are topped with accoutrements (plenty of cabbage, sauces, etc.), not just their breaded/fried tacos. Moreover, the gobernador included some sautéed red bell pepper and sautéed red onions. It was our least favorite. Birria Ramen: Very tasty. Plenty of meat. Wish there was more of that delicious broth. We ordered this as takeout. They did not package the noodles separate from the broth, so our noodles ended up on the softer side. If you like your noodles to have more of a bite, consider eating this at the restaurant. Birria Quesedilla: The same wonderful birria that they use in the ramen, but without the noodle problem. Flavor is excellent. Portions are good. ___A M B I A N C E___Interesting. It's like a casual space that is trying to be a cute spot. The dining area is decorated with some artificial plant wall panels and neon signs. The restaurant itself was much more spacious than we expected. ___E X T R A I N F O___-If you want birria, get there earlier during service. One time, we arrived late afternoon and they already sold out. We were told the next batch wouldn't be ready for a few more hours. -Minimal parking up front. More parking in the adjacent lot. -Restroom was clean.-Alcoholic beverages coming soon. -No complimentary chips.-No salsa bar, but they do provide a couple squeeze bottles and lime wedges. Sliced radishes came with the quesabirria and birrira ramen.Overall, this is a nice addition to Bonita. Their tacos, while good, are not as good as the other place down the street. What you really come here for is the birria.

This location does not have the same food or ownership as the Viejon location in Kearny Mesa. They were out of fish and cheese which they announced to us when we arrived- great. There was hardly anyone there on a hot afternoon - red flag for me. No beer at this fish taco and ceviche joint - red flag number two. We ordered ceviche and aguachile- they were warm (not cold) and didn't look "cooked". The flavor wasn't good and I didn't eat more than a couple bites - it was gross. The shrimp was grayish brown, not white. I really think they just tried making it after we ordered and luckily we didn't get sick after eating this. Worst ceviche and aguachile I ever had. We won't be back. This is not the same as Viejon in Kearny Mesa - don't make the same mistake we did.

Fairly new & a hidden Gem in Bonita & now one of my fav Marisco spots in SD, El Viejon. And you get the best of both worlds here, Mariscos & Birria, so if the kids don't do Mariscos get them Birria tacos. The Birria broth & tacos are one of the best in SD & portions are good, get Birria Ramen & you can feed 2-3 people no lie. I'm about those Birria queso tacos & so are my kids, their Botana of shrimp & Octopus is also amazing & can feed up to 4 people. I love how they cook the octopus here, near to perfection & that's why I love their Taco De Pulpo (octopus) enchilado it's amazing! Also a big fan of their Marlin & Shrimp Enchilado taco. Their customer service is great in here, very attentive & friendly & fast, clean restaurant with a great Mexican vibe to it with great paintings of Mexican icons. Now let me tell you about me & my wife's favorite item here & the main reason why we keep coming, it's that Smoked Tuna Taco, it's ORGASMIC! I ain't lying, my wife even blushes as she bites into it! One of the best tacos in SD & that I ever had here or in Mexico & I eat a lot of tacos in many places. I hear soon they gonna have micheladas, it's game over when that happens I can't wait. They have a loyal customer in me & my family, my siblings, cousins & parents all come here & will continue to come. Keep up the great work Viejon, see you soon & keep that Tuna smoking amigos!
