Good amount of food per plate. Update; I have been going for quite some time and I haven't faced any issues. Food is always great, especially the garden tuna OMG what a great plate tuna melts in your mouth the mango was ripe just like I like it avocado was perfect too. What an amazing experience I had. Other restaurants didn't want to reserve tables for us because it was a party of 25 people on short notice and would only serve fajitas. That was not acceptable to me.

Im allergic to seafood but I like coming here for the drinks and the wings are really good. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the drink menu. I’m sorry I can’t try the food, everyone is nice and welcoming.

The food & presentation is consistent at all locations, the service We had at this location was decent, not the best but not the end of the world. The food was outstanding as usual and that's what really matters. We were there with Family from out of town that really enjoyed it! Will be back soon as usual.

I've been to the one in Grand prairie recently and it is really good, great food and service. This location has the same good food and good service. They have all kinds of varietys sea food and drinks to choose from, very good and delicious I recently got a margarita and a tostada de Cameron and pescado, and the tostada came with options on creamy sauces to put on top, oh let me not forget the prices on the menu is fair, plus this location is going to have a drive threw which is really convenient. It's a 10 out of 10 for me. Can't wait for the grand opening in this location this Friday

I had my first visit to El Viejon Seafood Restaurant, and I was beyond impressed! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was so inviting, and we were greeted by a friendly host. Our server made the experience even more enjoyable with their fun and lively energy. I started with a huge Michelada, which was incredibly refreshing. For the main dishes, I tried the Tacos El Viejon—three tacos on corn tortillas with a cheese crust, filled with octopus, shrimp, and scallops cooked in butter and arbol peppers. The flavor was so authentic and delicious! I also had the Huachinango (deep-fried whole red snapper), which was cooked to perfection. Everything tasted amazing, and I strongly recommend this seafood restaurant to anyone looking for authentic flavors and a memorable dining experience. It’s definitely worth a visit!
