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 SofÃa fue excelente. Nos atendieron de inmediato y después de pedir comida recibimos nuestro pedido después de 15 minutos, sÃ. ¡La tostada mixta era dulce y tenÃa un delicioso sabor picante que disfrutamos cada bocado! ¡También pedà el molcajete de camarón súper delicioso y fresco! Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar !Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sebastian R.Long Beach, CA21417Jan 25, 2024
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.

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.

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.

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!!

Every time my little family and I come here it never disappoints. All the waitresses are nice, the food is delicious.
I went ahead and added the menu for you all and myself to check it out when I postmate food from here. The only unfavorable thing I will say is that it doesn't have a changing table, that's so important. You can't have high chairs and no changing table lol That's it! I have no unreasonable demands or expectations from this local Mariscos spot.
Enjoy!!

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 !
Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0May 1, 2021Previous reviewTheir scallops are so good , simply the best. I have them at least 2-3 times a week and they never disappoint. Always super fresh and a nice chewy bite. I've had them other places and i never end up going back because they are just not as fresh. I love them here the most. I don't eat much of their other items but I can defy recommend the scallops .
Oct 30, 2019Previous reviewThis is my favorite restaurant in the world! Their Avocado is always amazing!!!! So amazing, so fresh! The closest Sinaloa style seafood in all of America! I am obsessed if I could eat here everyday I would! Their "callo de hacha " is incredible! So is their ceviche! Limonadas omg I'm drooling just typing this! Defy recommend! Their service is very nice and prompt as well! Go try now!

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!

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!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
