Outstanding gourmet Mexican dining experience! The menu is creative and fresh with excellent bar service as well. Excellente!

I just found the perfect local taco spot! I've been craving tacos lately, and this place popped up with amazing reviews, so I decided to check it out with some friends today. Wow--these tacos are incredible! They even make their tortillas from scratch, and everything tastes so fresh. The portions are super generous too. I'll definitely be back to try more tacos!

This hidden gem in Redwood City is a fantastic place to visit, whether for groups, date nights, or dinner with friends and family. The service is excellent, and attentive staff provides accurate information. I tried the Ensalada de Otoño, tacos with a side of guacamole, and churros. It was so delicious that I forgot to take pictures! If you're craving healthy and outstanding food, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

3.5 stars rounded up. December 2023: Service was pretty bad- cold welcome and didn't seem like they wanted to seat us (3 people) without a reservation even though their website says reservation needed for 10+ people and there were 2 tables for 4 open. Took a long time to get our bill even though by the time we were done eating, most of the patrons left and it was only my party and another table. The food was good although the portion for the angel hair seafood pasta dish was small for $30. I had the fish taco (one for $6), which was lightly battered and had a mayonnaise based sauce. I thought it was really good but not great or amazing. Their chips and salsa ($6) came with 3 different salsas which were all fantastic.

Pro: Cool decor, good music, mix fare of Mexicana and Spanish food Con: Parking hell, quick services. Came here with local bay area friends, overall a pleasant meal, good shrimp dishes, steak and oyster was subpar. Bisteck Salteado - steak could use more garlic Oysters - tiny little things Camarones al Coco - fried perfectly, sauce wasn't that spicy Doraldo a la Brazas - good simple fish dish Enchilada Plate with shrimp - overcooked shrimp, tons of food Arroz con Mariscos - outstanding saffron rice with clams Plato Vegetariano with chicken - nothing special Michelada - needs more tajin and chamoy Ceviche Trio - much better after we asked for a ton much limes Guac and totopos with all salsas - actually pretty good. Not bad.

It was street parking. We made reservations for here and got seated pretty quickly. I got the tacos, calamari and ceviche. They had a pretty wild variety of the flavors which was great. Food was pretty good, the tacos were a decent size and had lots of meat. The calamari and ceviche were decent size too. Overall great food. One thing was we ordered churros but they never came out and we already got the bill. They were able to take it out so that's good but we didn't get to try the churro out. So probably next time.

Absolutely fantastic spot in Redwood City. This is our go-to for team meals whenever folks are in town who don't have access to amazing Mexican food back home. Everything is good, but some favorites are the: Camarones Al Coco, Cochinita Pibil, Salsas y Totopos, and the Pescado Tacos. The house made chile de arbol sauce is delicious. I never remember to take pictures, but I'll have to do that the next time that I'm here!

La Viga Seafood & Cocina Mexicana is hands down the most underrated restaurant in the Bay Area! This place is an absolute gem when it comes to delicious and flavorful food. My boyfriend and I had an incredible dining experience here. Empanadas de Champiñones Tapas - The empanadas were bursting with flavor and had a perfect balance of ingredients. They were not heavy at all and tasted light, making them a fantastic appetizer to kick off our meal. Camarones a la Diabla - This was the true standout of our visit. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy with just the right amount of spice. But what truly took this dish to the next level was the rice with mixed vegetables. The corn in the rice was incredibly sweet and burst in my mouth with every bite. It was almost comparable to Chipotle, but even more elevated and flavorful. Trust me, words don't do this dish justice. It is hands down one of my top three favorite dishes in the Bay Area. If you're in the Bay Area and haven't tried La Viga Seafood & Cocina Mexicana yet, you're truly missing out on a fantastic dining experience. The food is outstanding and the overall experience is one that will leave you wanting to come back for more.

I was attracted by its seafood noodles at first but im impressed by its taco and chips. The salmon taco is very good. Its a perfect combination of everything. Its very satisfying eating a big bite of the salmon. Also, I love their chips since they are fresh made. The trio chips dipping is ok but i love their mango topping. Its such a fun way to eat with the chips. The spicy seafood noodles is standard. I would totally come again for its appetizers.
