High end seafood quality; complex and sophisticated -authentic Baja flavor. If you want to impress any seafood gourmet connoisseur, this is the place. The Best Octopus Tostada I have ever had!
Good portions. Quality and fresh ingredients. Salsas are authentic and spicy. Parking lot can be crowded.

Loved Viejon Seafood! The fish taco, spicy octopus taco, and shrimp tostada were all incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. Each bite had the perfect mix of spice and texture.
The staff were super friendly and gave great suggestions that made the meal even better. You can tell they care about their food and their customers. I’ll definitely be back with friends next time!

We stopped by El Viejon last weekend, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had chilaquiles del Viejon, ahi tuna tacos, and grille fish tacos. All the seafood (octopus, shrimp, and smoked tuna) in the chilaquiles del Viejon is super fresh. I would opt in for the octopus tacos next time though since the soggy tortilla chips are not to my liking. Otherwise, it’s definitely worth it.

Staff really strives to make sure everything is done well, from flavors to presentation, you won’t be disappointed. Best ceviche I’ve had in San Diego so far. Pork belly taco was perfection!!

The fish tacos are excellent. The batter is so light and fluffy, it’s like biting into a cloud. The tacos were big and two were enough for me.

Best meal I’ve had in a long time. I’m visiting from Chicago and this is now one of my favorite restaurants in this city. I will be back! We had the aguachiles verdes, oysters, al pastor taco, and taco de asad. Yum yum yum! The music was a vibe the entire time. Quick and professional service, too!

This little hole in the wall restaurant sells amazing food. We had birria tacos the serve them with broth on the side. My husband ordered La Torre he loved it. It is pretty big for two people. The parking lot is small so be ready to wait a little.

I’m giving this restaurant a well deserved five stars for an incredible dining experience last Sunday night! We arrived around 8 PM, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting with just the right amount of buzz, perfect for a cozy evening out. The place wasn’t overly crowded which made it easy to settle in and enjoy the meal without feeling rushed.
For my first course I decided to try ceviche for the first time, and it was an absolute revelation. The dish was bursting with bright tangy flavors, perfectly balanced with a fresh zesty kick that danced on my taste buds. The seafood was impeccably fresh and the citrusy marinade had just the right amount of acidity to make every bite refreshing and memorable. It was such a delightful introduction to ceviche and I’m already looking forward to having it again!
Then came the seafood tacos and let me tell you, these were some of the most elite tacos I’ve ever had. I ordered three different ones: a shrimp taco, an octopus taco, and one that combined both. Each was a masterpiece in its own right. The shrimp taco was plump and juicy with a subtle sweetness that paired beautifully with the vibrant toppings, fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and a creamy sauce that tied it all together. The octopus taco was a standout with tender perfectly cooked octopus that had a slight char and a smoky depth I couldn’t get enough of. The combo taco was the best of both worlds blending the textures and flavors in a way that felt indulgent yet balanced. The tortillas were soft, warm, and just sturdy enough to hold all the generous fillings without falling apart.
I ended up eating way more than I planned because every bite was so flavorful and satisfying. This place is a gem and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone craving fresh bold seafood dishes!

OW! Not sure what took me so long to finally eat here, it’s fantastic!(Guess when I’m in Convoy I always end up with Asian food)
El Viejon is an excellent spot for Mexican seafood specialities and of course tacos. Friendly service, and casual but clean, modern and very artistic ambience! It also has decent seating, isn’t chaotic and crowded like The Taco Stand. Though parking is chaotic in Convoy these days.
$4 Al Pastor(pork)…the cheapest taco here is actually 2 tacos! You get 2 per order! The pork is tender and tasty, but the tiny pineapple chunks make it fruity and flavorful!
$6 Surf and Turf is huge! Generous amount of steak and shrimps, and the chipotle aioli sauce. The flour tortilla warm, soft, and lovely.
$10 Ahi Tostada is topped with fresh hearty cuts of ahi tuna, avocado, and more a top a crispy blue corn tortilla

I’m not a big seafoody, but I love this place, says alot. Me and wife ordered El viejon Fries came out very crispy with very light but tasty batter. It had smoked fish, shrimp, pork belly! It may have had scallops too, but it was out of this world. Wife also ordered an octopus plate, she said it taste good, along the pork belly taco, fish taco and cheese birria nachos. Yeah, over ordered! I think this is officially my 3 top Mexican restaurant/ shop in SD being here for 40+ years. My 2 kids had side of fries, demolished it and they are picky. When we left, manager ask how was food, we are coming back soon (=.
