    Shrimp Tacos

    Best Tacos in The Valley (Fish/Shrimp) ... The Ceviche is Fresh all the Time... . Customer Service 100%

    Shrimp empanadas. Delicious! And that green salsa is very tasty. Definitely recommend.

    Great mariscos! This food truck offers a tasty variety of mariscos. The cooked shrimp ceviche tostada is delicious and tastes fresh. The shrimp empanadas are some of the best we have had at a seafood truck thus far. And the green salsa they serve with the empanadas is tasty. The shrimp cocktail is like many others and has almost no shrimp. The baja fish tacos are good, but the tortilla can be a little greasy. I really only have one negative; regarding the amount of shrimp in the ceviche tostada PLATES (bigger size ceviche) and the cocktail. Whenever we have ordered that size of ceviche or a cocktail, it comes with a very small amount of shrimp hidden under so many other ingredients (the "pico de gallo" mixture; cucumber, tomato, onion, etc.) Essentially, you are paying a high price for vegetables in lime/tomato juice. We end up ordering the shrimp ceviche TOSTADA instead of the PLATE, since that seems to have more shrimp. Other than that, I recommend this seafood truck. We enjoy their food and so will you.

    This truck dropped into my life like the fairy godmother. Happenstance on my lunch break, I could feel I was in for a treat. The Monday special was great and refreshing. Never have I honored snapper but the combination of flavor in the fish tacos was more than lively on a hot day. It was good enough where after trying just the tacos I felt like everything on the menu had to be good. I also tried the shrimp taco which was also delicious. Next time I'll definitely try the ceviche. I was skeptical of seafood in the valley but I'm a believer now. The fish was fresh and good quality. If you happen upon this fish truck, don't hesitate.

    Botana Roja overall a good plate. Nice and spicy has good seasoning. Would recommend.

    After trying a few things on the menu.... I would've gave a perfect five stars but unfortunately the fries were oily. When the menu is small I expect everything on the menu to have the same standards. Everything else is good worth trying if your looking for something new !

    Botana roja is a flavor revelation..... that's it. Try it or go die with your bland sea food.

    If they make a bad dish I ain't had it yet. I like certain things and when I give something a chance it becomes my new favorite thing...... so yeah, it's excellent

    I only tried the fried fish tacos, but god damn they were delicious. Will be a repeat customer. Green salsa is also really tasty.

    First time here and my experience was overall positive; would give overall a 4.5/5. Despite what…read moreother reviewers said about there always being a line, I was fortunate that there was no line when I came on a Saturday afternoon. The staff were all friendly (from the person who took my order to the person who handed me the order) and my order came out correctly. There's enough seating inside, but me warned that they have no restrooms for customer use (not sure if that's even legal). Anyway, onto the food... 1. Regular Taco (4/5) Going to any taco establishment, it's a must to try their original taco. I got it with carne asada. The tortilla is corn-based and it comes with onions, cilantro, fresh tomato salsa. Overall, not a bad taco, just not the best, best. The overall flavor profile was pretty solid though - you get the beefy flavor from the shredded beef, the refreshing-ness of the cilantro, salsa and freshly squeezed lemon juice. 2. Birria Tacos (5/5) Corn tortilla lightly fried in birria broth; this version is between the regular taco and the dorados. It gets soggy quickly from the juicy, flavor-packed broth, so eat this first and fasssttt! The beef was flavorful and tender. Onions and cilantro were fresh. It not only looked good, it tasted great! 3. Dorados (5/5) This is their "crunchy" taco, which I got with shredded beef (default, but can change to other protein options). That crunchy shell was just sooo satisfying with each bite. Flavor wise, it's pretty similar to the Birria taco described above. I love the fresh radish slices they offer on the side. It's crunchy and a nice palate cleanser in between each taco.

    The flavor of the burrito was really good, and I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, almost every…read moreother bite of the carne asada was nothing but fat and gristle. I ended up having to pick it apart, and eventually it became too unpleasant to eat, so I couldn't even finish it. It's disappointing because the seasoning and flavor were there, but the quality of the meat completely ruined the experience. I hope this was just an off day, because with better-quality carne asada, this could have been a great burrito.
