Beer battered shrimp & fish tacos and shrimp empanadas
Carlos Z.

Finally decided to give this food truck a try, as I was skeptical on getting seafood from a food truck. All in all the food was good, not great. This wouldn't be my first choice for fish/shrimp or empanadas. The empanadas were soggy as well with the tacos. However like I said the flavor was good, so I'll be back to try their ceviche

We just moved to the area and saw these food trucks while driving by one night! Made it a point to stop by sometime in the week and we weren't disappointed! I was a little hesitant to try a food truck that had no reviews at all but the shrimp and octopus taco sounded too good to pass up. Their menu items are on the side of the truck but no prices are listed, which was iffy to me. We decided to just order the one item in case it wasn't good. It was $14 and came with two large tacos. The tortilla was grilled to a nice crispiness and there was a ton of hot melted cheese inside. The shrimp and octopus were smothered in delicious grilled onions and came with two delicious sauces, one creamy and one spicy. The only bad thing was that I wish there was a bit more octopus for that price point as there were only 5-7 thin slices of it in each tacos but I guess food trucks always do have that premium. We will definitely be back to try the other items we were eyeing another day!

Beer Battered Fish tacos

This Lonchera has got to be one of the best loncheras I've ever had the experience to try. My husband stopped by this morning and ordered some beer battered fish tacos. The price was really friendly considering the size of the tacos and the exquisite taste. 2 for $7. The service was fast and effective and to top off the food they accompanied the meal with a Chile guerro! You need to try the tacos with the Chile. It's literally the Cherry on top!!

Enjoyed in the car a tostada ceviche camarón and wife a mixto. Nice portions! Careful with shady individuals loitering in the parking lot.

Jaiba tostada
Jose H.

Honestly had higher hopes for this foodtruck, overall it's decent for the price. The tostada Naranjera is not what we expected literally full of jaiba & seasoning wasn't the best. The fish tacos were okay, the best item we had was the empanadas de camarón. The aguachile salsa complemented the empanada perfectly & they were steaming hot so that was enjoyable. Also the cashier with the beard wasn't the most friendliest, I tried telling him I found their truck through Google Maps & he completed disregarded my comment, which felt like he didn't care totally unprofessional for a food business.If you like jaiba tostadas, this is the spot for you.

Tacos Gobernador
Sergio C.

I just finished eating at 420 Mariscos. The moment I showed up, I knew I was in for something special when I saw one of the cooks putting some masa into a tortilla press. I ordered the tacos gobernador and shrimp empanadas. The shrimp tasted so fresh and the empanadas were perfectly fried (crispy and not greasy). This was some of the best seafood I've ever had. 420 Mariscos could change their name to Better than Sex and the name would be accurate.

Beer Battered Tacos 10/10 So good had to get four! Would also recommend the Empanadas de Camarón!

Avilla A.

Not sure why this place doesnt have more reviews, fish tacos were on point, will come here again. Tortilla was legit, fish top notch, and sauces made a great match.

Beer Battered Fish Tacos

YUM! I go to this place pretty often. The beer battered fish tacos are made fresh so they come out super hot and crispy. Each taco has this yummy sauce and cabbage that compliments the fried fish wonderfully. On Tuesdays they have a 2 for $5 fish taco deal. Normally it's $3 per fish taco. From what I see around other places, this is the usual price for a fish taco. They're the green food truck right in front of Haster Basin Recreation center near the intersection of Haster and Lampson. Now, if you're wondering, the food does not have 420 in it lol. Or at least, the beer battered fish tacos don't. Maybe I'll ask them another time why it's called 420 mariscos.

This place is always busy, and they don't take reservations -- but if you have a large party, you…read morecan call in advance and they will put you on a wait-list ... This helped us get a table much faster than we would have than if we had just shown up and waited. We ordered the large family meal, and there were 12 of us. We also ordered the Newport Lobster, fish fillet with black bean sauce, and an extra shrimp fried rice. Overall, I think the food was good, and the prices are reasonable (except the lobster, which was pricey, as you might expect from anything listed as "market price"). Most of us in the group thought the fish fillet with black bean sauce was the best. I thought it was very good, but not necessarily fantastic. (There are other Chinese restaurants that do it a little better.) The sauce was very good, but the fish wasn't quite as tender as it can be. Definitely a solid 4 stars. Other dishes were good. I think the scallop soup could have been great for some people, but my wife and I both hate cilantro, and there was a ton of cilantro. The pork was also good, and my friends thought the clams were also really good. I found the fried rice a bit bland. And for both the lobster and the crab, they could have made them a little easier to eat by cracking the shells a bit more for us. I hate fighting with my food ... And there was a fair amount of fighting on these 2 dishes. The lobster cost almost much as all the other dishes combined. It certainly looked amazing. And the sauce was very good. But I found most of it a bit overcooked. Maybe it was our fault for asking for a big one. Maybe a smaller lobster might have been cooked a little less. The great sauce (along with the fighting with the shell) might have covered up the fact that the meat was actually a bit tough and rubbery. I don't think I'd order this again. The service was very friendly and pretty fast. And, again, other than the lobster, the pieces were pretty reasonable.

Tan Cang Newport Seafood has been around a few decades. We came here a few times many years ago…read morewhen there was a travel agency next-door. Our family joked around and would say let's go to the travel agency restaurant when we had a craving for Chinese/Vietnamese type of food. I recall the food back then was extra tasty and memorable, leaving me wanting to return again and again. However, my recent lunch outing with my girlfriends changed my mind. Our servers were attentive and friendly. I think it helped that my friend was a familiar customer. We came on a Monday afternoon around 11:30 and It was early enough where parking was still available. We ordered the classic dishes, including salt and pepper fried pork chopsand salt and pepper fried shrimp, but the taste this time around left a lot to be desired. These two dishes lacked the crunchiness and flavors that these fried entrees are supposed to showcase. We found the pork chops to be dry and tough, as if it was prepared a while ago and sitting out for some time before it made its way to our table. The shrimp was not impressive either. At least the shaking beef or bo luc lac was good. The beef chunks were tender, and the flavors were on point. Bonus points for the broth that is complimentary during lunch. Also the complimentary orange slices were a nice touch to end our meal. We'd still return for the lobster and noodle when the occasion comes up.

They give you the option of either a 4oz or 6oz, priced at $34 and $49. It's a Connecticut style roll made with buttered lobster on a toasted brioche bun. It also comes with a side of fries and you can choose your seasoning, "Chef's way" or "Maine style." The roll is pretty expensive but honestly worth it in my opinion because of how much lobster they pack into it. The brioche bread was perfectly toasted. The lobster was fresh and buttery without making the bread soggy, even after pouring extra melted butter on top. Best lobster roll I've had.

He claimed that they were not using InKind anymore and couldn't take our InKind payment, even though they were still on the app. The reason why we went here was to use our InKind benefits, which were available here according to InKind. He then claimed that it was my father's responsibility to contact InKind about this issue and that it was our problem??? No accountability at all from the manager. Grow up. The food is pretty good. Our waitress was also great. But there are major issues besides that.

We stopped by here on my birthday for a nice evening dinner. Got there a little before sunset. There's just something magical about eating outside during a sunset, especially at the Orange Plaza. The restaurant has such a cool look and vibe! We started off with the Hamachi crudo, salmon ceviche, and a bowl of clam "chowdah". The crudo was absolutely delicious, highly recommend. The salmon ceviche was really good but a bit heavy on the sauce for me. The clam chowder had whole clams in the shell throughout. That was fun to pick them out! For entrees we got the lean and mean plate with sea bass. It comes with salad and rice, we substituted the rice for black beans. We also got the skirt steak "bulgogi" which was served on top of mushrooms and bok choy with a sweet soy sauce. They accidentally brought out salmon instead of sea bass, but were very apologetic. They brought out a sea bass on the side and comped the entree to make up for it. Great service right there! The salmon and seabass were both delicious and cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and juicy, full of flavor. As a birthday gift they brought out a thai milk tea blondie sundae which was soooo good! Get it if you like sweets. I wish the owners all the best in their future endeavors, they created a great restaurant that many will miss. Thanks to all the servers, hostesses, cooks, and bussers as well for making my birthday dinner so special!

We put our name down on the Yelp waitlist and the wait for a party of 2 was maybe 90 min. Essentially if you go anytime on the weekend expect to wait at least an hour. There is no such thing as "off times" on the weekend. Evidently Boiling Crab is still as popular as ever. We didn't mind waiting. Once our number was next we were promptly seated. First thing I noticed was how great the service was from the host, to the waiters, to the helpers. We ordered shrimp and Cajun fries. Shrimp is $18/pound and it is the only seafood you can order by the half-a-pound. After ordering the food came out in less than 10 min. Besides the initial wait, everything else about the dining experience was very efficient, which tells me the long waits are not a fault to slow service. I think they are being as efficient as they can. The dining experience was pleasant. They supply bibs, gloves, etc for easy clean-up. There are TVs showing sports. We were out of there at $45 for two. A pretty good deal considering the unique dining experience. I can see why Boiling Crab remained popular after all these years.
