History

Established in 2012.

Over eigth years ago, the idea of La Viga Seafood & Cocina Mexicana was conceived by answering a simple question: Could we create a dining experience that would be something both familiar and exciting for our community and fellow food explorers? The answer is infinitely more complex than the question, but we're so glad we invested the time to do it because we discovered was a huge opportunity to innovate and create in ways not yet seen. To achieve this, we foster a vibrant and relaxed environment where you're able to enjoy your special time with your friends, family, and peers; experience surprisingly delicious flavor profiles and dishes; and receive personalized and professional service from an engaged and knowledgeable staff. La Viga is part of the La Viga Culinary group that is behind LV Mar and San Agus restaurants in the Bay Area.
