Loved my first time here. Terrific food. Probably some of the best Latin food I have had in a while and I am picky. Great classic margarita with my request for a Repasado. Complex bold flavors from the coconut shrimp and octopus starters through the whole sea bass. No room for dessert. Next time for sure! Great service and hospitality.

super cute restaurant, the hosts were very nice, and the food was marvelous. we only got to the tapas and did not order entrees because we were too full. we will have to go again to get everything else we didn’t get to.

Was in town for work and met up with some friends. No of us had ever been here before – it was such a great place for us to catch up. The food is great and very affordable! Portion size was still big for tapas. Would definitely come back every time I am in town. The drinks were delicious too but forgot to take photos – the Horchata was great and not too sweet.

Very tasty & tender calamari to start and delicious churro to finish. But the true gem was the seafood pasta with a spicy cream sauce! Salmon & Red Snapper tacos were also quite memorable as well. Highly recommend this place!

We ate at La Viga Seafood & Cocina Mexicana. It was nice. I thought it would be a bit fancier because I saw it recommended somewhere. The seafood dish with different kinds was really good, especially the shrimp. The tacos cost $6 each, which seemed a lot, but they tasted great. The chips were the best part—they were not greasy and very crunchy. They gave us two kinds of sauce; the green one was the best. The cold beer was also really good with the food. Even though I expected something a bit different, we liked it a lot and want to go back to try more dishes.

Service team was friendly and bar is great. Food is good 4*, empanadas were really good, bread pudding is amazing. Cocktails were really good. Spent about $60 per person, which seems pricey.

Update Sep 2025:
La Viga continues to fade. The ceviches are bland and so is the guacamole. The tacos definitely are the highlight but even then, the flavors are just not punchy enough. Everything seems to be a blob of bland guacamole mushed with some type of meat. You get better food in Taco Grullense.

Update Mar 2024:
Unfortunately, it feels like the intial glory, character, and vibrancy of La Viga has faded quite a bit. Their initial jolt of energy was no where to be found. No longer was the food “exciting” and punchy but rather a poke or nudge would be more appropriate.
Every plate played it safe and the ingredients did not scream freshness. Definitely still great Mexican food. But it just feels like an average chef is following the original recipies by a creative pioneer.

This joint is a true hidden gem in Redwood City. It’s not even in the main downtown area and rather off the side of the center where the neighborhood might feel a bit less gentrified. But that doesn’t stop it from it being lined up with patrons who are seeking for an authentic Mexican seafood restaurant. The chips and guacamole with fresh feta cheese is right on the spot. Ceviches are fresh and filled with mango and lime. The “paella” is fabulous and tacos try a bit too much with the corn starch wraps but quite delicious. And with the authentic atmosphere, this place is here to stay and thrive. Will return.

This place is always busy, for a good reason. Their food is always on point. Service friendly and they always can make good recommendations.

Boys wanted some Mexican food and I saw good reviews for this restaurant, so decided to try it. After 30 minutes waiting, finally we got our food, appearance is lot better than the taste. The Ceviche trio is too spicy and sour, the tortilla chips is so disappointed…overrated restaurant!
