The fresh seafood was too good because my family and I wanted to taste more but ran out of room in our tummies. We had a great time dining out here. Quality was fresh and excellent Portions were generous Service was attentive but not intrusive I’m definitely coming back the next chance I get Please don’t post this otherwise more people will find out about this gem…Just kidding…. But not really 😂

Everything was good, especially the Ceviche appetizer, but I found the beef in the carne asada taco very dry. It was all good but not as good as other times I've been.

La Vega was close to closing when we arrived. But the staff didn’t rush us. They were very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious! We got the trio of ceviche, guacamole, salsa and chips to start. All were very tasty! The we each got a Taco. One of our party got a delicious mezcal drink. They have a great selection of tequila cocktails. Overall, another great night at La Vega!

We always enjoy eating at La Viga. Last night, we had the empanadas and each had two tacos. We had the rice pudding for dessert. All beautifully presented and delicious. Filling, and also inexpensive. Attentive, but unobtrusive service. La Viga closes at 9 on Wednesdays, and we had an 8:30 reservation. Despite being one of the last guests to leave, we were not rushed.
