Latin eatery with classic seafood & comfort eats
"Named for Mexico City's famous seafood market, this local favorite has been around 2012. The dining room keeps things simple with wood tables and high ceilings, but the real draw is that La Viga turns out expertly executed ceviches, tacos, and more that are affordable enough to be in your regular rotation. You’ll want to get the shrimp cocktail, which has little in common with the cocktail-sauce-and-lemon variety other than its plump shrimp. This one comes with a thick layer of sliced avocado and a spicy serrano-cucumber sauce you’ll want an extra side of. You can’t go wrong with any of the tacos, which come on chewy house corn tortillas. We always go for the perfectly charred salmon taco with a sweet mango-avocado salsa." - Gabi Moskowitz

"Named after Mexico City’s massive seafood market, La Viga is a Redwood City favorite for oceanic fare with a Latin twist. Wedged between an industrial area and downtown, the basic but cheerful dining room draws a casual lunchtime crowd here for heaping tacos—soft white corn tortillas stuffed with fried snapper fillet, cabbage and chipotle crema; or crisp prawns with tomatillo-garlic sauce and pico de gallo.At the dinner hour, residents stream in for the famed tallarines con mariscos, a sizable mound of al dente fideos studded with pristine seafood cooked in a spicy tomato sauce. With such fresh ingredients and bold flavors, the low prices and generous portions are particularly pleasing. Don't forget to leave room for a delicate flan to finish." - Michelin Inspector
"La Viga (MICHELIN Plate, Green Initiative), a Redwood City favorite named after Mexico City’s seafood market, and longstanding San Francisco staple Anchor Oyster Bar (Bib Gourmand, Green Initiative), both of which work with the Seafood Watch program to ensure that their delicious seafood specialties come from sustainable sources." - MICHELIN Inspectors
"The Mexican seafood restaurant in Redwood City is offering pickup of favorites like coconut shrimp, churros, and sangria." - Becky Duffett
