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

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

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.

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.

Why 5 stars? Because it finally happened and it was glorious…read more --- --- --- It was beginning to be comical how many times I visited Austin, planned to try Briscuits, and then something unforeseen would happen to prevent me from doing so. But at long last, I visited Briscuits on my latest trip. Briscuits is best enjoyed in a group setting where you can share many things. Their menu is full of appeal and it's painstaking to be forced to choose. I chose the Brisket and Jelly Biscuit based on the recommendation from the guy working here, and he was right. It was great. The brisket itself was nothing remarkable, but the biscuit was unreal. And the jelly was a nice touch. I never imagined the jelly + brisket combo, but folks, it works. Also, the day before, my wife showed me the inside out cinnamon roll that they posted on their Instagram story. It looks mind blowingly amazing on IG - I couldn't not try it. But this is exhibit A why multiple people are needed to come here. There was zero shot I was eating all of this. I probably got through 50-60% of it, but that's all I could handle. I made friends with a couple of guys sitting next to me and actually donated a few bites to them because I couldn't stand to toss something so tasty. So briskets finally happened. Hopefully a return trip is in store for my next visit.

This is easily one of the best BBQ breakfast spots in Austin and it's easy to see why they've…read moreracked up countless awards, including a coveted spot on Texas Monthly's Top 50 BBQ Joints in Texas. This unassuming food truck tucked inside Radio Coffee packs way above its weight when it comes to flavor and savoriness. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu but my personal favorite is the brisket, egg & cheddar biscuit sandwich. The brisket is smoky and flavorful, while the homemade biscuit makes the whole thing next-level. If you have more of a sweet and savory preference, they also offer strawberry and blueberry jam options that pair surprisingly well with the sausage and pork belly. They have traditional BBQ plates as well, but you'd be crazy to come here and skip the homemade biscuits. The one downside is the price. You're definitely paying a premium, with a biscuit sandwich easily pushing $20 but the quality is there. They also offer convenient online ordering which makes it easy to skip the wait. Come to Radio for the coffee, but stay for the BBQ breakfast at Briscuits, you definitely won't be disappointed!

I ordered an al pastor taco and chips with queso from CJ's tacos right before they closed at 7pm. The taco was good (a little greasy) but much better once you add the green sauce they serve with it on top. The queso was really tasty, like a better version of the tostitos queso. The food trucks are in a circle and surround a playground in the middle. It is a cool venue and while I wouldn't call it particularly nice, it is fairly clean. After the taco appetizer, we ordered gnocchi pomodoro and the casarecce with basil pesto and tomatoes from Artipasta with tiramisu for dessert. The pesto was good, but lacking in flavor a bit. The gnocchi were delicious, great texture and a wonderful tomato sauce. We honestly should have placed two orders for the gnocchi and skipped the casarecce. My friends liked the tiramisu but said it was a bit different from a traditional tiramisu. We wanted to try a vodka pizza from Day's Pizza but they were completely sold out for the day (no dough left). We tried the paneer entree and aloo paratha from the Desi Spot. The food took awhile to come out and I would have liked a few more pieces of paneer but it was all delicious. Overall a cool spot and a nice way to try a bunch of different food trucks and cuisines at once. Just check the hours for the food trucks you want to try before you go.
