They have gone of the best fish tacos and I don't mind the drive to Chula Vista to get them! The grilled shrimp tacos are also on point. I'm sure most of the seafood is delicious even though I don't venture out too far from the fish and shrimp. The guava empanadas are so delicious and not overly sweet- the crust is nice and firm in which it does not get soggy after a day or 2. There are large tables outside for sitting and standing if you're going to eat in the area. On Friday, Saturdays and Sundays, they have the Agua Fresca. There's no restroom, but they provide lots of napkins and all the condiments that one will need when eating. This located near the side of Jack n Box drive thru. read more

Been going to this Mariscos truck since I was a child basically. Right behind the DMV, I recollect when I'd pass my permit test and get food here after. The food was great, and still has that same great taste today. The owner is very cool, I like how he recognizes me even after all these years. A solid South bay set up, benches and tables under a held down tarp, chill area to eat at. Hands down my fav seafood truck. read more

Omg so good. I was around the corner at the DMV for like 3 hours (I'm never moving out of Cali again...) and waiting in the line for vehicle inspection when I said, let me get some food and wait instead... So glad I found Mar Y Tierra!!! Everyone was sooo nice to me even though I had a hard time remembering "sesenta" briefly (when I think in Spanish now, Japanese comes out... it's funny but it's a problem lol) and even though I'm a gringa with a basic order. I just got 1 shrimp & 1 fish taco both with avocado and a jamaica. When I tell you I ate these like I had never eaten food before... Shrimp was incredibly tender and wonderful. The fish was huge, flaky and crispy and juicy. Honestly I ate them so quickly they could've been made of liquid. But they were sooo delicious!! They included extra sauce and the green salsa wasn't too spicy for me which I so appreciate! They also included 2 limes for one of the tacos which made me think someone really loves me today :') I would definitely come back here anytime and try more things on the menu! Very very delicious!! Thank you for the delicious food and taking care of me today!!! read more

Parking is a not the best. But I got the parking fairy You walk in the back and 2 food trucks are in back I alway the mariscos truck.

This was my second time here and they always seem to be pretty busy. they get the food out in a timely manner and they have a free consume for you to sip on while you wait. (careful it's hot!) the portions are quite generous and the seafood is cooked very well. the fish taco was a little underwhelming but i really enjoyed the fried/grilled shrimp combo taco. not sure if i missed it, but they need some hot sauce! read more

Mar Y Tierra - pulpo taco, grilled and fried shrimp taco, fish taco - Food Trucks Near Me - Chula Vista, California

This has got to be one of the BEST taco truck stops ever! It is widely known that when in So Cal, taco trucks & mexican food are plentiful. But this location is a must! So delicious and the set up was perfect if you want quality+variety. The taco trucks include one which is "Mar" (mariscos/seafood) and the other is "Tierra" (burritos, tacos, etc). They have a great covered seating area which is perfect for a hot day in between and you can try a little of both. My husband went with the Tierra truck and had the adobada, asada, birria tacos and I went with the quesabirria (which was a large portion!) and from the Mar truck, a shrimp taco gobernador. We were in taco truck heaven. We were served promptly and spice and flavor of everything was delicious. We were also treated with a cup of extra "consume" from the Tierra truck (broth where birria is made) as well as some of the seafood broth from the Mar truck. Definitely will come back when back in the area! read more

The food is always amazing! Great variety and portions are very generous! The place is always busy but well worth the wait! My favorite is the cóctel de camarón, it's always perfect! Definitely a hidden gem read more

This place is good . El cóctel mixto was really good! Even the quesadilla de carne asada was good just in case you have a kid that doesn't eat seafood like mine lol! La super tostada was so good ! Highly recommended! The mega taco was amazingly good! Man I wish I could have eaten 3 of them but I was only able to fit one taco and the tostada! 2 thumbs up read more

Fish Tacos are the bomb here! Also highly recommend the Fish Ceviche Tostada! If you know, you know read more

So disappointing the amount of seafood was so low a lot of broth, paid $38 dollars for two 7 mares it was just not worth the price go somewhere else unless you want to drink a bunch of broth. read more

I have been coming to this taco truck for years with my husband! Hands down the best seadfood truck , flavorful , fast , and good atmosphere! read more

I visited this establishment on 2/20/2026 and placed a large to-go order for my family and me. We ordered a camarón tostada, and the shrimp had a pinkish-red color, a slimy texture, and an extremely unpleasant taste--resembling dirty water and spoiled cheese. The aftertaste lingered for quite some time. We also ordered the tostada loca, which included scallops that tasted very old, rubbery, and overwhelmingly fishy. Due to serious concerns about freshness and food safety, we decided to discard the entire seafood portion of our order. Lastly, the agua fresca de limón tasted that of artificial flavor and old carton - this was my young daughter's own words. I would strongly caution others to be mindful when ordering seafood here, as I personally would not risk my health again. read more

Ordered the fish tacos and WOW! Very delicious, Crispy and super flavorful! Great customer service too.

The food was absolutely delicious!! We loved everything we tried!! The birria was amazing!!

We have been coming here for years and they continue to improve. We stopped by this weekend and realized they had added an additional food truck where they sell birria, adobada, Asada, aguas frescas etc. This has become a one stop wonder, they have something for everyone. We ordered: fish tacos, shrimp tacos, shrimp coctel, a new shrimp taco with octopus and a chipotle sauce. Everything tasted amazingly and perfectly cooked. The new taco was a great addition. The new food truck did not disappoint. We ordered two birria tacos. They were on the bigger side and priced perfectly for that portion. The cashier gave me a consome cup and it was beyond flavorful. Compliments to the guy who makes the birria, not anyone can get it to taste this flavorful. They did not compromise the quality of the meat. Everything in my taco and consome was pure meat no fat, which I appreciate. The service by both the cashier and the cook was great, they were extremely friendly. We will definitely continue to come back. read more

Hello people if you are looking for a great Mexican seafood spot and this is it... I've brought friends here from Palmdale, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Yuma, San Fernando Valley, SAN DIEGO, Tijuana, and other cities and let me tell you everyone loves this spot.. the prices are great because of the food portions. The quality of the food here is on hit, fire, bomb.. if you ever have a really bad partying hangover. This spot is the cure just drink one of their free courtesy broth. That's all you need..! of course don't come and try and freeload on that. Buy something anything in the menu. Everything is good. You guys could thank me later. Super highly recommend a spot I want to say thank you to the owner and to the staff cooks and everyone that has a part in this establishment. God bless you guys. May you guys live a long healthy and prosperous life. So that you guys could keep making this satisfying food thank you again. read more

Delicious mariscos. Just enjoy it. Every once in a while, solely for your entertain, there's an actual dumpster fire because of the paint store's disposal methods of their cleanup waste of oil based materials. read more

I love it! The fish tacos are delicious as well as the super tostado which consists of fish, shrimp, and pulpo ceviche. Both items were so fresh! The tacos were nice and hot. The free consomme is great as well! I will be coming here every time I visit San Diego. read more

I was there on Tuesday Feb 2nd, I ordered a 7 mares to go, got my order around 1pm. Upon arriving at my hotel and opening my "mares soup" I noticed it had nothing it fish, octopus, and potatoes. No shrimp, no crab legs, no, mussels, no abolony. I paid for a 7 mares and only got 2, truly disappointed. read more

Delicious food! Highly recommend, but come with patience because it's very popular, especially during lunch time.

EST fish tacos in town! Hot, fresh, and perfectly fried. Good portion sizes. The cocktails, tostadas, agua chile, and everything else is superior as well. Known in my family as "location X". read more

While the food looked great, it really lacked in flavor. We got a taco gobernador, arrachera y camaron taco, and taco Hercules. They gave free samples of the fish soup and that was tasty. The salsa verde was good, but the habanero salsa was not spicy at all and just pretty much tasted like lime juice. The service was fast and great and not a long wait even though it was the lunch rush. I will give this spot one more chance and I'll try some of the tostadas, cocteles, and aguachiles. read more

The broth is really good it's complementary , the culichi burrito also is recommended They have a great variety of seafood and customer service is a A plus . One tip is to order ahead because it's always busy. Hidden spot but you will find the food compensating. Also there's another food truck that sells carne asada and other things. read more

Best fish & seafood tacos in National City. Super fast service with generous portions and affordable prices. I like to go right before the lunch rush around 10 a.m. on the weekday. I got my usual huge octopus tostada and a couple fish tacos today. So many items on the menu I need to try. Thank you for improving customer service and keeping the salsa bar full when it's really busy. read more

Everyone knows the best seafood comes from a food truck!!! This one beats any others in the area. Even better than Mariscos La Reyna Mariscos German in southeast San Diego. The fish tacos come with huge portions of freshly battered cod. I love that they use real corn tortillas. They're topped with finely chopped cabbage, cilantro, cream sauce, onions and tomato. I do wish they came with more sauce but they did offer a tiny to go cup but it wasn't enough for the 8 tacos I ordered. The shrimp and octopus cocktail is also a good go to because they come with big plump shrimp and finely sliced octopus. Luckily the sauce was balanced and didn't have too much ketchup. Loved that they included saltine crackers on the side. Highly recommend my go to seafood food truck to everyone in San Diego!!! read more

Always solid! The have consistency in their food and customer service and it's never disappointing. My favorites are the tacos gobernador and culichi. Reasonable prices. read more

Recommended by a friend and I really should've tried it much sooner! Super reasonable prices, fresh food, friendly service and no frills quick bite! Delicious crunchy fish tacos, shrimp tacos and aquachile tostada verde de camaron. These tacos rank in my top 5 fish tacos. Definitely stop by, just off 4th behind a paint store and Jack in the Box. Plenty of parking, the line moves fast. Really worth the trip for a casual meal. read more

The truck is located in a parking lot behind one of the stores so might be tough to find at first. There are a couple of tables for people to stand around/ sit & eat. They offer complimentary soup while waiting for your meal. AMAZING fish tacos!! The fish taco is giant and cheap. The fish is super crispy and cooked to perfection. There is a sauce station on the side or you can ask for pre-packaged ones. Some customers sitting next to us recommended their oysters as they were super fresh! I will have to come back and try. read more

Mar Y Tierra - Food Trucks Near Me - Chula Vista, California

the area is hidden but they do provide picnic tables to sit at. food is good, service was quick.

Mar Y Tierra came highly recommended by a local around Nat City and it for sure was one of the best trucks i've eaten at! There's ample parking around the truck and standing tables! You can't really go wrong with any of the seafood tacos - I highly recommend the Gobernador , the creamy, and the arrachera because those 3 that we ordered were super fresh, the vinegar complements the base seafood taste, and the salsa and guac just make each bite feel complete. The aguachile tostada and the octopus tostada were also extremely fresh, and the arrangement of onion, guac, tomato, lime is just perfect on top of nicely fried tostadas. Since the shrimp here is so good, we tried the shrimp coctel as well and, well, it was good! Highly recommend, there's so much on the menu I have to come back to try the rest of the seafood! read more

There are 2 food trucks with different menus. Each food truck specializes in seafood and cocktails. Their both always crowded with long lines. I usually get fish tacos added with avocado for lunch. The fish tacos are very affordable topped with chipotle sauce and pico de gallo mix. If you're into seafood with lots of flavor and affordable under $12 this is the place. I com here frequently because their consistent with their service and food quality. Overall a positive experience as usual highly recommend it. The food truck is located on a parking lot behind pet grooming business and next to Jack in the Box on fourth Ave right before 54 easy freeway. read more

Great shrimp and fish tacos, maybe some of the best I've had here in San Diego! Also their ceviche is fresh and delicious! All their portions are a good size/amount.

This is a fantastic Mexican food truck (actually 2 - one mostly for ordering seafoods and the one - opposite - mostly for meats). Price point is excellent. We ordered both the baja style fish tacos as well as a grilled fish taco, a quesobirria, a carne asada, a pulpo and their ceviche. The tacos are HUGE and overfilled with proteins. The baja fish tacos were superb. Perfectly fried & crunchy. The grilled fish taco was also super good with seasonings. The quesobirria was so tender and super favorful. We also had the quesobirria from Ed Fernandez (separate review) and the one from Fernandez is not even close... read more

Delicious!!! their coctel the camarón is on point. Im pregnant and I wanted to cry from the satisfaction of the deliciousness.... I appreciate them cleaning their shrimp because that's usually a hit or miss. Definitely coming back here again!! read more
