The salted fish in the bowl was everything. My friend and I went to grab dessert somewhere and out of curiosity walked around the plaza. We decided to give it a try and no regrets we made room to try some amazing food. Highly recommend

This place has some of the best tacos I’ve ever had before. We ordered the shrimp ceviche and some of their tacos. The octopus taco here is hands down amazing! The grilled fish and Ensenada tacos were also really good. The tacos have a great ratio of seafood to toppings. I would highly recommend the spicy version of these tacos for the spice lover. I would come here every week if I could!

The food here is amazing and authentic! We ordered the sopita with mariscos, aguachile verde, ensenada fish taco, a pulpo (octopus) taco, a smoked fish taco which is real Marlin and very hard to find in restaurants. I would definitely come back again. Service is great and food is bomb!

They put Aoli on their ceviche. Asked to remake it and said no but then gave us a sample ceviche without it. Would of been good customer service to remake it without feeling like we were trying to get one over the business. Won't be back unfortunately.

Fantastic Mexican seafood restaurant. Greasy goodness ???? balanced out with some limey or raw shrimp selections. Tacos are bigger than expected!

First time here, and definitely won’t be my last! Can’t wait to come back when I’m near this area. Service was super fast, very impressed with the wait time. Seating was somewhat limited. But you won’t be disappointed with how fresh and delicious the food is. Their serving portions were very generous. Everything on customers plates looked delicious. We weren’t sure what to order so we went with -El Viejon Seafood Tower. Wow!!! & OMG!!! Yummy and so fresh and delicious. It was more then enough for two people. If we lived near the area, this would be our to-go-spot. Highly recommend.

This place came highly recommended as a new spot for fresh raw seafood in creative Asian/Mexican fusion takes.
We had dinner plans elsewhere but I tacked along an order of fries when someone else in my group was making a take out order, thinking it would just be a snack to carry me over. Its an $18 dollar order of fries - I should have thought more about that. Twas delicious and definitely entree sized. Great mix of seafood and flavors - will definitely be back to sample other dishes.

Amazing fish tacos!! I had the El enchilado and the grilled fish. Both cooked to perfection with added sauce, cheese and cabbage. El enchilado was spicy and perfect. My favorite. Old school music playing and the environment vibe was very chill. Only negative feedback I have is the parking but that's a hit or miss depending on the day of the week. No wait time unlike Kura revolving sushi that had a 2 hour wait time ????

Delicious, fresh, baja style seafood/mariscos centrally located (I don't have to drive to Chula!!). Ceviche, campechana, and birria tacos were bomb. Assorted house made salsas along with several bottled salsas made the experience a treat. Parking is tough in that location due to the other restaurants in the strip mall, there is dedicated parking for order pickups in front of the restaurant.

First time here, been seeing their posts all over IG and have been wanting to try it out for a while. I ended up getting the tower which is like seafood heaven. There was everything from shrimp, tuna, scallops, octopus and more. If you love seafood then you must try this out. Next time I will try the aguachilles. They also have different seafood tacos and even a marisco ramen!
The only negative thing I can say about this place is the parking because it's in a busy plaza with a small parking lot so be advised to find parking on the street and just walk there. You won't be disappointed!
