Baja fish taco & Marlin quesadilla

This is easily the best food I've had in Austin, which says a lot given that this city is known for great cuisine! My friend and I went here based on local recommendations and we tried a few dishes - we cannot decide which one was our favorite! You can tell that they use high quality fish and seafood for their dishes, and they can make it as sweet or as spicy as you wish with different tasty sauces! The staff was very kind and hospitable, as well - they are very friendly, and they will gladly advise you if you are unsure what you would like to order. We truly felt welcomed here. We will definitely be regulars at El Marisquero - their food is worth every cent!

We were in the downtown area and decided to try this on a Friday afternoon. I liked that it's very well covered so rain or shine you can go here. We tried two kinds of ceviche and a shrimp taco. the ceviche with mango - it was good but was lacking lime and citrus flavor but overall the choices of seafood was greatly balanced with the red onion and tomato and all. 3 Amigos ceviche - this was really nicely done with the zest, citrus flavor and the combo of all i ingredients. it just happened to be a tad on the saltier side ( may have been just today's batch that had too much salt). Really enjoyed that both ceviches did come with good amount of crunchy tostada. We also tried the shrimp taco. Their house chipotle sauce on the shrimp taco was a chefs kiss and levered the flavor so well.

Food truck only open from 12-7. They have covered area with picnic tables and decent parking. All of the food was really good but the stand out dishes for me were the Baja tacos. 1 per order but they were crispy and had a nice fish portion. The seafood tower was really large and the seafood was fresh. the mango ceviche was another top favorite. It was a little different than the other ceviches since it had the fresh mango and the sushi grade tuna. The soup lacked a lot flavor it was probably our least favorite dish. The fried fish was overcooked and small for the price.

Kids menu. Fish sticks and fries.

This place is a solid 3 for me. I came here hoping to find flavors similar to what I grew up with back home--west of the San Bernardino Mountains--but this wasn't it. At first, I was excited when I pulled up and saw the word "Sinaloense" on the truck, but the taste didn't match the promise. They don't even offer house-made salsas--just bottled hot sauces. As some reviews already mention, the food lacks flavor. Yes, the portions are generous and you'll leave full, but it's not enjoyable when the food is bland and you're constantly swatting away flies. Honestly, this would work better as a sit-down restaurant than a food truck. I suspect the hype comes from social media "influencers." I found this spot through YouTube while searching for authentic Mexican seafood, but if your taste buds are expecting Pacific-style seafood, this place isn't it.

Ceviche de pescado

Fire ! I'm from LA area and moved to Texas an have struggled to find mariscos .... But this joint right here can fit right in to the LA category! Super bomb a must try !!!

I was craving aguachile after having it a few months ago in San Diego. I found this truck after some googling, and the aguachile here didn't quite hit the mark for me, but that's ok. There's a small parking lot adjacent to the seating area, behind the white food truck. There are two of them, one white and one blue. This is honestly probably the nicest food truck set up I've seen in Austin. Dedicated parking lot and structured covered seating. They played music really loudly. We didn't mind the music, but we minded the volume. We thought it could've been turned down a few steps. Food was served quickly after ordering. Service was good! We ordered a full order of aguachile camaron y callo (shrimp and scallops), rojo. That was a mistake lol we should've done verde. I normally like spicy food, but this was so spicy for me that if there were any other flavors, the spice covered it all. I'm actually not sure if there was anything else beyond the sour and spice, though. I was expecting more flavor, like what we'd had in San Diego, but that's not what we got. And after five or so bites, I couldn't taste anything other than spice. The ceviche was good, but I think it had too many onions and tomatoes. There didn't seem to be a balance between the ratio of ingredients. My bf got the baja taco with fish, and he said it was good. Hot, but good. I didn't try it, but I'm taking his word for it since he didnt have any criticism for it. If I'm ever down south again and craving aguachile, I might give this place another chance and order something different.

Grilled tacos left, baja tacos right

I've been waiting for mind blowing food to bring back my yelp and I found it here!!! Order: baja tacos, grilled tacos, quesadilla de camaron, the tres amigos ceviche. Quick review on a couple items: I'd get the baja taco over the grilled taco and the ceviche was plenty! Good flavor and it was fresh! What I really want to talk about is the quesadilla de camaron. OH. MY. GOD! That was, hands down, the BEST quesadilla I have ever had in my life. The flavors were phenomenal. I didn't take a good enough picture that included all of it, but I will buy that quesadilla every time I come to Austin. You will die sad and unfulfilled if you miss an opportunity to buy the quesadilla de camaron from Marisquero Seafood!

Shrimp tacos - the best!
Shairy G.

Obsessed! As a native Floridian, I absolutely love fresh seafood and have missed it so much since moving to Austin. The food at El Marisquero is not only the highest quality, but most delicious seafood I've had in Texas. These people know what they're doing! And out of a food truck?! Just trust it. I've tried their fish tacos, shrimp tacos, tostadas and ceviche. Every thing I've tried has been incredibly impressive and leaves me wanting to try more. The team is also super friendly and seem like great people to support. I love watching this business thrive!

Ceviche 3 Amigos, michelada's and Aguachile Shrimp and Octopus
Bella O.

El Marisquero is hands down the best place to get ceviche in Austin. We came here for the first time and were seriously impressed. The ceviche was the star of the show as it was super fresh, perfectly seasoned, and a generous portion. Everyone at our table loved what they got. There was a bit of a line when we arrived, which honestly just confirmed how good the food was going to be. It's a small spot with limited parking on the side, so plan accordingly. Also, it's BYOB so definitely bring something cold to sip on with your meal. Great flavors, chill vibes, and unbeatable value. We'll definitely be back!

Battered fish taco.
Anne E.

Food truck with diverse fish options. The tacos are $6 each and they are substantial. Homemade pico de gallo, slaw, and sauce. There's an array of hot sauces available to spice up your experience, too. The ceviche is the star of the show. We enjoyed it immensely. For $20, it was enough to feed both of us. Service was solid. It's a food truck, so don't expect a lot from an ambiance perspective, but I sure did appreciate their sun shade and multiple fans running while we were there! El Marisquero, go check it out!

Baja fish tacos (2)
Stephen K.

As a native San Diegan I'm always on the lookout for So Cal style Mexican food as well as good seafood, both of which can be tough to find. Hence my pleasure at finding this place, through all of your recommendations! My main craving at the time was fish tacos, so I got two, which ended up being a ton of (delicious) food. The fried bread fish portions are very generous, to say the least! And it's proper white fish, not Mahi Mahi which you often find in these parts. And the ceviche tasted great as well and is also highly recommended. And prices were very reasonable. One thing to keep in mind is it IS a food truck, though covered seating is available.

This place is a staple in Austin. It's really cute and it's pretty authentic to me. The staff there…read moreis so nice and very attentive. They have a cute indoor seating area along with a rooftop patio, which is really cute especially when the weather gets great. I got a corn poblano soup and I have to say that was delicious. I got the small cup and next time I go back I will definitely get the whole bowl cause that was amazing. I did go during brunch hours so I got two tacos. One of them was the Migos taco, which was delicious. I love that the tortilla chips and they were nice and crunchy still and not soggy. I also got a taco called the Cherrywood, which had bacon cheese, egg, potato, and avocado, and it was delicious. I love that their tortillas are homemade and they're not the cheap American puffy ones. They also give you complementary chips and salsa and both salsa were delicious. I literally combine both of them in my tacos. They do have some great drinks. One of them is the Highlander margarita which is really nice and smooth and they use patron silver. They also had another margarita that I saw a lot of people ordering and it was an avocado one, and everybody kept raving about it. They definitely have a good mix of cocktails and then anything in general that you would want.

I've been coming to El Alma for nearly 5 years now (according to my first review, I first came here…read morein November of 2026). During that time, it has easily become one of my favorite restaurants in all of Austin. I absolutely love the food and the rooftop patio that overlooks downtown/the park, and it will forever be somewhere I continue to go, especially during happy hour. I have tried every vegetarian item on their menu, and while everything is great, my personal favorites are: - cheese enchiladas with mole verde (I get this 99% of the time because they are my favorite enchilada in town) - the chile rellano (it's listed in the sides, but I promise you that it can be a meal in itself) - their rice (comes with many of their plates or inside of their enchiladas) is actually soooooo good and one of the things I look forward to - queso (nothing different about it, but it's just a really good standard queso) - flaquita (spicy watermelon margarita; I don't need to say more) - sangria blanca (super refreshing) Up until a few months ago, I would have given this place five stars, but I've noticed a decline in service that is making me knock it down to a four. For example, they used to give free chips and salsa the second you sat down, but the last three times, I've had to ask them for it (pro tip: ask for chips and salsa!!). I've also noticed slower and less attentive service. Overall, I still love El Alma, and when it comes to food and vibes, it has withstood the test of time. Everyone I introduce to El Alma falls in love (my sister visits me once a year, and El Alma is always on the agenda). Not only have I been coming here multiple times a year for the past five years, but I know I will be coming for as long as they are around.

Once again... THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN AUSTIN…read more If your a fan of trying new things... you've got to try the Las Calabasas as your "side". If you love garlic.. you'll love this side! We tried Esme's creamy potato enchiladas and DANG they were good. The basmati white rice was cooked and flavored to perfection. Maybe a sour cream verde sauce on Esme's would be good, too! My friend got Brian's Alambra plate which was the winner. I've never tasted so much savory delicious flavor in one bite. I couldn't even speak. WELL DONE BRIAN!!! Derrick at the bar took very good care of us. I have never said this: I will try every single item on the menu in the next 10 years. This place should be on Diners Drive Ins and Dives. It deserves more recognition. Texas has lots of great Mexican food, but this place is hands down the best. Please El Dorado make sure it doesn't go to your head.

This is the thinner white queso variety. (3) Delicious salsas. We did the 6 salsa sampler and all here so good. (4) Great house chips. Substantial but also very light and crispy. Perfect for dipping but never feel heavy. (5) Amazing carnitas. Here from California where we have great carnitas and these topped them all. So extremely crispy but still tender. Staff is also very friendly. So glad we stopped in here for lunch.

Arriba Abajo as you walked in just gave me all the vibes of a happening place when you want to hang out with friends and have a great time. We ordered the braised ribs rolled tacos for appetizers. It was so fresh and kicking' with all kinds of flavors. I wish I had ordered another one. The avocado sauce layered on the bottom was just enough to keep wanting more. For lunch I ordered the Carneasada Fajitas with chimichurri and my husband ordered the Carneasada Taqueria. With my fajitas came a side of frijoles, green rice & flour tortillas. Corn flour was the other option. Both meals came in pipin' hot & the smell coming from both was very aromatic, zesty & spice. Amazing taste, flavors, just the right amount of marinade on the Carneasada with a hint of lime. It was so delicious while enjoying the ambiance. Our server was a delight and took very good care of us.

We were happy to accommodate, but then the service was noticeably slow (both for drinks and for food). Price points were high (but, I suppose not unexpected for a hotel restaurant). The spot we were in just felt like limbo between guests enjoying the pool and people inside enjoying A/C and good music. May give it another shot down the road.

ATX Cocina is a whole vibe! It's modern, minimalistic in design and sleek in styling. Also, they have dining, where you have a nice view of Lady Bird Lake.

The tortilla chips tasted homemade and guac was quite tasty with jalapeno slices as a garnish. My friend ordered the Sandia cocktail comprised of Lalo, Ancho Reyes, watermelon, lime, and chamoy. I ordered the Frida Kahlo including Don Fulano Blanco, Jalisco 1562, guava, blood orange, lime, black lava Ssalt. Note to self: Don't touch the black lava salt because it rubs off on your hands.

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
