This place is a true gem! Nestled in the heart of the Convoy district (in the Shanghai Saloon strip mall, next to Jasmine - IYKYK). Parking is minimal (as are most places on Convoy), so keep that in mind.
The food quality, taste and presentation is second to none! Seriously some of the best fish tacos in town! Thick, tender, flaky fish beautifully coated in a crisp, tasty beer batter and topped with fresh, crisp cabbage, micro greens, cilantro, sprinkle of pico de gallo and drizzle of tangy (chipotle?) crema = perfection!
Yes, the fried fish tacos were wonderful, but the other star of the evening was their octopus (pulp) taco! This taco was loaded with tender chunks of pulp and drizzled with a light drizzle of their house special crema...well worth the $7 price tag! Another worthy mention would be their french fries! Seriously, don't sleep on these tasty, golden fried gems! There's like some type of coating on their fries making them not only taste amazing, but having the perfect texture a well! So good!
In addition to their delicious tacos, we also had their refreshing campechana cocktail -- loaded with fresh, plump shrimp, tender chunks of pulpo and sweet (grape-sized) scallops, topped with a healthy scoop of creamy avocado chunks! My one and only "complaint" would be that their cocktail sauce was a bit too thick (like V8) and had too much of a kick (like it had been topped off with Tapatio). True cocktail juice/sauce consists of tomato juice, clam juice, lime juice & a squirt of ketchup (this way is always the most tasty & refreshing).
All that said, give El Viejon a try -- don't forget to try their fried fish tacos!
