El Viejon Seafood in Mira Mesa, San Diego, is a mariscos restaurant rooted in traditional seafood specialties from Sinaloa and Baja California, with a creative Asian twist woven through every dish. Ingredients like daikon radish, sesame seeds, and a peanut-arbol chile spicy oil set each plate apart from a typical Mexican seafood spot. The menu spans raw plates with scallops or chocolate clams, fiery aguachiles, Ensenada-style fish and lobster tacos, build-your-own ceviche, and a full brunch menu with unique creative lattes. Reviewers rave about the whole fried fish, fresh oysters, and the manolarga taco featuring tender octopus and beef. Happy hour runs from 4 to 6 PM and features deals like $1.50 oysters, and the restaurant received its full liquor license in May 2025. The space suits everything from casual date nights to family gatherings and group celebrations, and catering is available for custom events.
El Viejon Seafood is located at 9837 Mira Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92131.
