Food tastes ok nothing special.. got ceviche both shrimp and fish.. the main item to try is the taco gobernador

Sea food was delicious we went with two large shrimp ceviches trays n they were fire will definitely come back

This was my first time coming here, and I wanted to try a new Mariscos spot. I regret it. I originally wanted camarones a la Diabla, which is not on the menu. Then I asked for camarones a la chucaracha but it doesn't come with rice is more like an appetizer didn't want that. So I just ended up getting the cocktail De camarones. First impressions count this doesn't look too good beside that has no flavor whatsoever completely disappointed. The michelada so not worth it. read more

A co worker of mine recommended this place so I took my siblings here for my brother's birthday. I was excited cause I am a big fan of mariscos, unfortunately there was nothing special about this place. We walked in and waited there was loud music playing and we didn't know we could sit down on our own until the waitress just yelled across at us to sit down. That there already made me feel a little off but I gave it a chance cause the food might be good. I ordered ceviche (fish) tacos de asada/shrimp and cheese , aguachiles, cocktail de Camarón and lastly shrimp. The only thing we all like was the tacos. The ceviche tasted old like it's been sitting for a while, the portions were ok. And lastly tips are cash only, very inconvenient for those who don't carry cash. Food was ok. read more

This is my first time and the restaurant. they recommended it! The food was good not great service was awesome by this lady Esmeralda. The only bad bad thing on this place was the receipt, it says tip not included but when you get the receipt there's not a line to add a tip for her. You guys need to change this because she's giving a service and she deserve it!!! only for that I'll give you one star read more

We were a party of 5, and I got to sample a little bit from everyone's plate. We got a dozen oysters, aguachiles with shrimp and scallops, mojarra, rib eye steak, shrimp ceviche, and guacamole. Everything was delicious! The only complaints I had were that the music was too loud and they overcharged me $100. The staff is helpful and kind. read more

I love the micheladas here. And the ceviche with callo soo bomb!! Must have and good vibes

Fast service, great makeup, and good food. I tried their famous VIEJON TACOS. I'm not a big seafood person, but I like these tacos! you can taste the flavor of the carne, shrimp, and sauces mixed together... YUM! My bf got the MIXTA, and it was good too. He said it was spicy. I think this place is pretty popular among the seafood community! read more

The food is delicious. The service is good as well. The ambiance is always good even if they are crowded.

The place is very bright makes you feel alive after a really bad hangover lol ! We felt very welcomed the customer service provided by Sofia was great! We got served right away and after ordering food we received our order after 15mins yes. The tostada mixta was sweet and had a delicious tangy taste we enjoyed every bite! I also ordered the camaron molcajete super delicious and fresh ! I highly recommend this place ! El lugar es muy luminoso y te hace sentir vivo después de una resaca muy fuerte jajaja. Nos sentimos muy bienvenidos, el servicio al cliente brindado por Sofía fue excelente. Nos atendieron de inmediato y después de pedir comida recibimos nuestro pedido después de 15 minutos, sí. ¡La tostada mixta era dulce y tenía un delicioso sabor picante que disfrutamos cada bocado! ¡También pedí el molcajete de camarón súper delicioso y fresco! Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar ! read more

Too expensive. Down the road at a comparable establishment tacos are $1.50 cheaper of the same size. Micheladas are $12.00!!! and they don't even have shrimps in it. Leave your card at home. Cash Only. read more

Mariscos El Viejon - $12.00 for this ???? - Seafood Near Me - Paramount, California

Favorite spot for mariscos! Bring your whole family, you won't be disappointed, absolutely delicious!

fui a comer al viejon y no estaba tan buena la comida, no recomiendo y el servicio no estaba al cien.

Restaurant is a descent size and they have a parking lot and available parking in the street. Our waitress was very nice and on top of it. After placing our order food came out pretty quick but after reading on the hyped reviews on the food I was not impressed. The tostada de Jaiba did taste better than it looked but still lacked flavor along with the Ceviche de Pescado (tasted too fishy) Ceviche de Camaron was good. The Coctel de Camaron was better after adding ketchup in it which the server (not waitress) looked bothered when I asked for ketchup. I hate feeling like I insult ppls food when I have to add more S&P or anything to give it more flavor but if I'm the one paying for it. Anyway.... the coctel was ok. Taco de Marlin was a win. All in all I wasn't impressed but to each there own. If you're a seafood fan like I am I say give it a try. read more

Been a big fan of El Viejon since their original location was basically just a tent. The service here is always good. Food portions are always big. The tostadas they give beforehand with the mustard are great too! I really like this new location to take my brother to when he gets off of school. It's spacious and they have tvs. Can't wait to come back again. read more

Callo de acha always fresh, aguachiles are delicious and the limonada mineral preparada (lemonade with mineral/club soda ice blended) just hits the spot! Always go for either the Maleficio (pictured the full dish don't mind my husbands half devoured Chalupa) or the Chalupa which is same except it also has pulpo (octopus), abulon, cucumber, and tomato Can't go wrong either one... if you love callo de acha like me, call ahead to make sure they have it so you don't get disappointed when you try to order and they're out (happens often but not often enough that would prevent me from coming, I just call first) read more

El viejon is the daddy of all mariscos restaurants. Best seafood in the game. They literally have someone drive to Baja every week to bring Marlin and scallops. True quality you can taste. Worth every penny . I highly recommend. My family and I have been coming here since I was a kid and now I come to this newer location it's slightly closer to me and still as good as ever. If you like seafood you must come here. The BEST. My favorite are their callos de hacha a signature from my hometown and their avocado always so picture perfect omg amazing ! read more

The food was okay, service was good. The location is close to shops and local stores.

Food: 5 STARS Location: 5 STARS Customer Service: 5 STARS Bathroom: 2 STARS Parking: Available Every time my little family and I come here it never disappoints. All the waitresses are nice, the food is delicious. The menu has been added for you all and myself, so I can check it out when I postmate food from here. I have only one complaint about this place: it lacks a changing table. From this local Mariscos spot, I have no unreasonable demands or expectations. Enjoy!! pa que les voy echar mentiras read more

El Viejon is one of my favorite places for mariscos. Both locations are excellent. Their signature taco Viejon is my favorite thing by far! My mouth waters just talking about it. Their shrimp ceviche is amazing too. I also recommend the asada tacos, shrimp taco, aguachiles and the French fries. The consome is great for a hangover. Don't forget it's cash only! read more

The best mariscos restaurant in Paramount, hands down. There's plenty of parking and seating inside, it's a chill place to stop by and get good food. The service is okay, they do get pretty busy so it's understandable why they might not be available the whole time. Highly recommend coming here but you definitely can't leave without trying their tacos el viejon, super bomb. read more

Food was tasty, I will give it that. However, I ordered the shrimp and octopus cocktail. There was no octopus in there, diced like onions. Not cool. Then they brought me a glass that was only 3/4 full. When we brought our concerns to the waitress, she brushed it off. After that we were ignored for the rest of our visit. Not a pleasant experience. Maybe they realized we "weren't real Mexican" so they treated us differently. They have like 10 employees, yet no one can check in and ask how we are doing? Instead of standing around chitchatting. Extremely bad experience, Sophia read more

The best lemonade! Perfect for a hot day. Friendly excellent service! I love the mojarra and ceviche de pescado.

I always order to-go. And the guy that helps me each time is the best server. He is always smiling and friendly. And very helpful. I ask for extras condiments and he always gives it with a smile. The food is super tasty. I always get ceviche with tacos with shrimp and carne asada. I promise you, you won't regret the shrimp taco. The only thing that sucks is it's cash only. They have an ATM but it's still annoying. This is my new go to spot for ceviche! read more

We dine in most of the times. The place is always clean, well ventilated, the service is friendly, and the food is great. Yesterday we had a small gathering -8adults and 3 kids. I decided to order something for the family, I ended up ordering 20 el viejon tacos and two small trays of seafood -cooked shrimp, octopus, and scallops with the veggies. The only thing is, I wish they could have explained the sizing or portions better, when the person on the phone said "containers" I thought she meant the ones they use for regular "to-go" orders not the big aluminum foil trays. We couldn't finish one of the big trays; so much food! It was fairly inexpensive for the amount of food we were given. I just felt bad that it'd go to waste. The employees are always nice and kind, our order included tostadas, extra limes, salt and pepper packets, napkins, utensils, mayo,and new tapatío sauce bottles. For the tacos lots of small salsa containers. Excellent, excellent service as always. read more

Food is good, but I don't recommend if you're going to be picking up your food not looking at your order making sure you got the correct order even though you repeat it your order twice on the phone to the person taking the orders it's pretty frustrating when you have to drive 15 minutes to get there 15 minutes back to realize your food is wrong and you have to go back read more

Was a bit skeptical about this place because there isn't many reviewers but the servers were nice & the food did not disappoint :) read more

Was invited here by my cousin. And let me say this place is one of the best mariscos places around. It's cash only they do have an ATM inside so be ready for that. The mayo has chilpten chile mixed in with it. It taste last so it throws every thing over the top. So good. Had the agua chiles so flavorful. Shrimp were cleaned and tender. Salsa was perfect with the right amount of heat. Taco el viejon was cooked over a fire so it had the nice char to it. Took it out of this world Camarones chuckle nice. Are butterflied and dipped in a sauce then cooked over fire. Served on a bed of rice. Can't even explain this taste. So good. Ceviche especial there is a sauce that comes with it on the side. Add that thank me later. The heat does build on this one but it's so worth it. read more

The Mariscos are delicious. We had the shrimp tacos, shrimp ceviche, and a shrimp cocktail. The food was great. The staff is friendly and quick to serve and check on you. I will be going back again. read more

Best mariscos around good shrimp tacos as well good service and nice atmosphere only downfall is cash only

I'm a returning customer . I alway come here this is a spot me and my girl always come to after to a night out of drinking . I've never had an issue till today . I arrived and everything was going fine until they were taking longer than usual which was fine but when I got my tacos they were just plain cold , when I addressed it to to one of the girls that was our server she immediately took the plate without hesitation and not a word was said . I continued to wait and when she came back I noticed All they did was microwave my tacos which was a disappointment honestly , I then confronted them and told them if they can make me some new tacos , when they came back . I noticed all they did was put the same tacos they gave me from the start on the grill . Total disappointment. Horrible service read more
