El Viejon Seafood

FINALLY!! Some delicious, fresh, high quality food in Eastlake! Woohoooo!!! If your palate knows flavors outside of San Diego, you'll appreciate what they're doing at this spot. p.s. too busy scarfing down flavor to get photos

We have been to the one on Convoy and decided to try this new location since we were in the area:Here's my food recommendations:- Viejon fries is loaded and can feed 2-3 people people- Their oysters are very fresh - Quesitaco, very cheesy which I like- Chilaquiles gobernadores, also can feed 2 ppl- Michelada and try their different flavored horchatasThe seafood here offers great value for its freshness. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Although the space is small, accommodating around 25 people inside, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will certainly return!GO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES!!

EV is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Everything is made to order. Our go-to's:- Jamaica- Shrimp Ceviche - El Viejon taco - Fish taco- Manalarga w a side of birria consommé The tortillas taste really good and hold up all the meat and seafood they put in it.

I ate and left no crumbs hahah. On a serious note, I'm so happy this restaurant opened up in Chula Vista. It's divine. They made us some of the best seafood tacos I've had in SD. Super fresh and tasty. IMy favorite taco was the el viejon taco. There's a lot going on in this taco, lots of seafood, ingredients, etc...but it was sooo delicious. The cooks do not skimp out on the protein portions either. Shout out to the chefs!I also had the ahi tuna tostada. This is a great option for fresh tuna lovers. They have a kids menu as well, which I appreciated.Andrea helped us out. She was so sweet and attentive. The ambiance is modern and fun. There's a huge disco ball inside, which gives them bonus points if you ask me. There's lots of seating inside and outside. Plenty of parking as well. I'll definitely be back. :)

I really enjoyed this place! I'm so happy this showed up in Otay Ranch. You order your food before sitting down or can scan the QR code from the table to see the menu.We enjoyed everything we ordered except the aguachile negro, it was lacking flavor not spicy at all. The fish taco was good and filling it's pretty big. My husband enjoyed the octopus taco , I thought it to be a bit too spicy. Our favorite was the fish ceviche tostada ! It was flavorful and unique. There's inside and outside seating. Perfect for groups or grabbing a quick bite for lunch. Would come back again with my family

We were happy to hear El Viejon was coming to Otay Ranch as we tried it first in Convoy! This is a great location ! As there is plenty of parking in this shopping center . We stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon and there were 3 people in line (great sign) and the inside was pretty full with only one open table. The great thing about this location is the outdoor seating! We decided to sit outside as it sounded a little loud inside .We ordered 1/2 order aguachirles negros (10/10) they bring in in a molcajete, taco enchilado(10/10 my favorite ) , side of rice, quesa taco(10//10), and a birria taco (8/10) . The service was great , and we would definitely come back and bring our family to try!

I am back for more - :) Everything ordered today was as expected; D e l i c i o u s !Everything tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned .Our order during this visit:- Campechana without scallops - smoked fish taco- Ensenada taco- tostada coqueta - Mangorita - Agua de Jamaica . During this visit we had the pleasure to meet Luis , one of the owners and he kindly offered us to try their pork belly taco which is on the menu and omg it's a must try... this taco is perfectly crispy , meaty - it came drizzled with tamarind sauce , topped with mango salsa and a side of a savory roasted yellow chile ( chile toreado, not just any roasted chile, this one is delicious ) - the flavors in the taco re awakened my taste buds with an explosion of deliciousness in my mouth. Highly recommend you try a pork belly taco , ask for it without mango to minimize the sweetness .Will return soon to try a tripe/ tripa taco !

It's like we stepped into a literal party in here! There was loud, festive music and a LARGE discoball hanging from the ceiling.There used to be a very delicious taquito restaurant here, but I guess this Mexican seafood joint took its place.Anyway, the guy at the door that worked here was very welcoming and enthusiastic about pointing out everything on the menu. The menu was pretty overwhelming! Hubby wanted to try this place out, but I wasn't THAT hungry at the time, so I ordered 2 empanadas. Unfortunately, they were out of empanadas, so I ended up ordering two birria tacos with consumè. Hubby had two fish tacos with rice. Later, the server brought our food to the table and told us they ran out of rice? So, she brought out some pasty beans instead. My two birria tacos and consumè were about $15, while hubby's fish tacos were about $4 each. I don't know how much the beans were, but our bill came out to be a little over $30. There was nothing wrong with my birria tacos; in fact, it was quite good and pretty hefty. The consumè was actually very good, not salty at all and so flavorful, but I wish I had gotten the fish taco instead. Had a bite of the hubby's, and it was more tasty, in my opinion. Loved all the veggies, flavor, and the crispyness. Would I come back? I probably would, but I'd skip the birria and try the seafood dishes. It's a seafood place, after all! Hopefully, next time, they don't run out of menu items.

I tried this new place in the area, took so long to bring the item I ordered, my husband ordered el Viejon taco $13 dlls and I ordered the jaiba tostada $7 (we were not very hungry just wanted to try thanks God!), for what it is is very expensive, my husband said he need to eat 3 tacos at least (yes it's $39 for 3 tacos regular size tortilla ) if he was hungry, and I will never ever will be full with 3 tostadas (the smaller version of a tostada size and $21). Expensive for what it is, definitely will not return.2 stars because flavor is not that bad and not that good. Very slow service (Saturday 7pm) and price is high for what it is.

Nice little cute place, cool seating and they play the music that I like, those remix like the Tropical Cool Vibes kind of remix, Ibiza style. The food is really good, I have to watched my calories because I want to order more but next time again... this place is recommendable, El Viejon always have a good Mexican food, they are somewhat like upgraded, i also visited the one in Convoy.
