Location on a corner lot behind a gas station across the street from Perez market

If it's your first time can be hard to find. But they have a phone number and they respond quickly. Great portions for the price and quality was is good. Would recommend and especially for party or family gatherings have family size or platters.

Shrimp boil. It was a little too salty. But otherwise good.

My family and I had to go to Riverside to pick something up. So I jumped on TikTok and this food truck popped up! And once we got to our family member house. This food truck was only 12 min away from them. So it was meant to be! I'm so glad we tried this sea food truck out! Because it did not disappoint us. My husband and I were in seafood heaven! The guy taking our order was super nice. Gave us suggestions. If I'm ever on the area again... I will definitely come back here.

I have heard this place was really good and have been wanting to try it for awhile now... So I finally went and honestly I was not impressed with this place... I ordered a variety of things to try and the food was ok... Not as good as I was expecting it to be. The pricing is reasonable but the portions are a bit small... They have a variety of items on the menu so you have the option to be healthy or be a fatty... lol, I was on a diet so I had to go with the healthier options... I ordered a tostada de aguachile, tostada el erick, tostada super mixta and tostada de ceviche de camaron... I went during the week so it wasn't busy and there was no line to order, the customer service was good but I did have to wait about 15 mins for my order to be ready... They also charge of fee if you use your card for payment... I've had some pretty good mariscos so this place has a lot of competition that's why I thought is was ok but it's not one of my favorite...

Tacos de camarón

Literally the best In the I.E. we had to try a little bit of everything from the tacos de camarón the cocteles and ceviche were all so delicious. even the way they packaged our to go order was efficient and service was friendly. Can't wait to be back

Easily the best fish tacos in the IE. Great customer service!!! Instagram @mariscoselbigoton

This is only one taco of a 2 taco plate.

Seriously really good food! This food truck has excellent seafood meals! I've had the shrimp & fish tacos and they are amazing!! I loved the crispy texture of the shrimp and the tender fish with all of the delicious toppings! Be sure to squeeze the limes on your tacos! So. Dang. GOOD!! Mmmm! The photo I included only has 1 taco of a 2 taco plate. I couldn't even wait to take the picture because it smelled so good I took a bite and before I knew it I ate a whole taco! Can you say "YUMMY?"

Food is good and reasonably priced. My husband enjoyed the tacos dorados and camarones empanizados tacos. Shrimp ceviche was decent, but shrimp pieces were too tiny. Wish I could give them 5 stars, but I was not happy about having to ask a female worker to maintain a social distance as I was placing my order and she was waiting behind me to be done so she could enter the food truck. Mind you I was wearing my own mask (clue #1) and other patrons were too. Upon asking her to step away from me she had her own mask (clue #2) hanging below her chin and she seemed to be caught off guard by my asking her to keep a social distance. The guy taking my order wore his mask, the young dude handing orders to customers from the pick up window did not. We're still in the middle of a pandemic and the staff did not appear to enforce that other patrons wear their masks as well. It was about a 50/50 ratio between people who did and did not wear a mask. As a result of the above, will be back post pandemic, but not anytime soon.

Trying this out for the first time .

Coming all the way from Northern Nevada, my husband and I had one mission while our San Diego trip:…read morefind fish tacos. We absolutely lucked out with this place! We walked in on a bustling Friday afternoon and were instantly hit with good energy. The decor is vibrant, fun, and modern--bright colors, beautiful mural-painted walls, and marbled blue floors that have a coastal vibe. The menu had a great variety of both land and sea options, ranging from birria tacos and shrimp cocktails to fresh ceviche. Here is what we down. I ordered one shrimp taco and one fish taco. Husband ordered the fish taco plate, with well-seasoned rice and beans. Our meal hit the SPOT. The fish and shrimp were freshly fried to order in a delicious, crispy batter that wasn't overpowering the seafood. Also, they feature a green salsa packed with chunks of onion and jalapeño, alongside a traditional creamy fish taco sauce. That fish taco sauce is FIRE. It packs a much bigger spicy punch than the watered-down sauces you usually get at most restaurants, and it was delicious! If you are in the area, this is a must-stop. We will 100% be back the next time we visit San Diego!

The shrimp and fish tacos were the stars of the show. The shrimp were nice and plump, while the…read morefish was flaky and tender. The batter-to-filling ratio was spot-on, with just the right amount of crunch without feeling heavy. And the fries deserve a shoutout too! Well-seasoned, golden, and crunchy without being greasy -- exactly how fries should be. The prices are pretty reasonable, especially for the portions. We got 6 fish tacos, 6 shrimp tacos, 1 carne asada burrito, 3 birria tacos, and 3 drinks for $84.54. Not bad at all! The atmosphere is very casual, and most of the staff work behind the counter. The tables could use a little more attention between customers, but nothing a few napkins and a quick wipe-down can't handle. If you're looking for fancy ambiance, this probably isn't the place. But if good food at a reasonable price is what matters, definitely give it a try. They also have daily lunch specials from $6.99-$8.99, which is a serious win these days. Hard to complain about that!

I'd like to preface this review saying when I can give them another try the review may go up to at…read moreleast 4*, but based on the first dining experience, a 3 might be generous, which I'll explain below. First, I arrived shortly after they opened on a Tuesday, which is important to highlight because they're closed on Mondays, and I suspect one dish I tried had the texture of leftovers (from the weekend). Part of me wants to try again later in the week, and day to see if this was a fluke. What I ordered was a rice bowl with braised pork belly and daily vegetables. Everything was good except the pork was dry and tough, clearly not braised that day or heated all the way through. I forget what my first choice was, but it wasn't available that day. My other item was the wonton soup, which also disappointed me for a few reasons. Portion size is good, but the broth tasted really thin, watery, and the wontons were overcooked and falling apart. The cause was they were forgotten about and the pot boiled over. Generally, you cook these below the boil to prevent the cloudy mess from disintegrating skins. The filling tasted fine, but again, overall flavors and balance was marred. I did, however, enjoy the lenon tea that comes with every combination meal. And, the employees are very nice, but the food didn't make the cut. They have a big menu and I've seen the skewers and hot pots in action so I know there's potential.

My latest visit here was my best. I opened with an appetizer of Coconut Shrimp and a Bowl of…read moreManhattan Clam Chowder, which is difficult to find in landlocked areas. The plump shrimp was very tasty, and the soup a superior rendition of Manhattan Clam Chowder. Complimentary fresh-baked Sourdough Bread and butter were slow to arrive at our table, but when they did, the bread was excellent and addictive as usual. My brother polished off the majority of the Coconut Shrimp, and Diane liked her Yaki Butterfish, which was a form of Black Cod anointed with Teriyaki Sauce. I decided to splurge on Alaskan King Crab Legs, which are sold here at Market Price. It was $125 for 1 pound on the day I visited. This is still a good price compared with the Las Vegas prices I am used to. Two tools were provided to disassemble the crab legs, but they were enough to get the job done. Served with Drawn Butter, the King Crab Legs were sweet and divine, with a medley of garden vegetables and Cheese Potatoes as suitable accompaniments. And the portion of crustacean I received appeared to be bigger than 1 pound. I happily gave away some big morsels of crab legs to my brother and Diane (making them happy as well), and still had plenty of crab left for me. Service by Nicole O was commendable, and table seating comfortable in the large dining room. I expect to return soon, and add a dinner salad to whatever entree of several fine ones offered here that I choose.

I'm not a fan of big chain restaurants but Market Broiler is an exception. From…read morethe moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted by warm and accommodating hostess staff, this definitely set the tone for a great dinning experience. Our lead server was polite, attentive, and was nice enough to go over the menu. She made constant visits to check on his, fill out drinks, and to make sure we had everything we needed. As far as the food, every dish we ordered was an incredible blend of textures and flavors that transported our tastebuds to various levels. The ingredients being used were fresh, this showcased the chef and managements' commitment to high quality cuisine. Market Broiler succeeded our expectations, we'll definitely be back and highly recommend!

I love that they don't service you a common basket of chips with salsa, no they bring you whole fried tostada tortillas and crackers of course you get salsa too. I had the small "chico" shrimp cocktail and I got to add my ketchup to my taste. They gave you a choice of sauces on the table. My shrimp cocktail was by no means Chico, it was generously packed with shrimp and the veggies that are typical to a Mexican cocktail. I saw some other items I can't wait to try. The prices are compassionately priced but the serving are generous considering I have paid more and received less in other places. The servers are very attentive and sweet. La Cruda reminds me of the little places on the beaches in Puerto Rico. Instead they are on the shore of the 91fwy in Riverside. Check them out for a simple tasty seafood cocktail. I have been driving past and overlooking for much too long. A new personal fav for me! BTW, I took the picture after I ate more than half that meal.

There was so much meat packed into each taco that two were more than enough for a filling lunch. For under $10, especially since they also included chips and salsa, I thought it was a really good value. The steak was tender and juicy, but I actually liked the lengua even more. It had a really rich beef flavor and wasn't dry at all. My only complaint was that the lengua still had some of the outer skin attached. The texture honestly gave me a little bit of goosebumps while eating it . I really wish they had removed it completely. Other than that, the lengua itself was delicious. Great flavor, generous portions, and a very satisfying lunch for the price.
