Fast service, delicious tacos / seafood, and Friendly service try it all Hidden gem Large food portions
If you're in this area and are looking for something cheap, fast and delicious, come grab a fish taco at this food truck. $2 fish tacos! You read that right. And they're pretty darn good too. Tortillas come out warm, great pico on top, tangy sauce on the tacos and flaky beer battered fish. My only complaint is that the fish to batter ratio was off. That batter is thickkkkk. But for $2, can't complain much. The employees are hard working and very friendly. They are generous with the salsas and lime wedges they give you for your tacos. Maybe I'll try something else on the menu next time I'm here! If you're in the area, check this place out.
We headed to Mariscos German Beyer taco truck and ordered the following: seven chilies tacos, Baja fish tacos and crazy special tostada. The seven chilies fish taco appears simple but is a bold-flavored taco packed with plenty of heat. The combination is definitely unique and I like it very much. Baja fish tacos were quite delicious as well and came with ultra-fresh fish that were lightly battered and super crispy. The Crazy special tostada comes with a stack of tostada with a heaping of ceviche of fish, octopus, mussels and a couple oysters. It was a lot of food! We can tell how popular their ceviche is because nearly everyone ordered it. For me, I would definitely order the Seven chilis and Baja fish tacos next time.
One of my friends told me about this food truck and said that I should check it out, so I finally did! They are open until 7pm and there was a big sign saying that it was cash only, but they actually accept cards. I wish I knew that ahead of time, so that I wouldn't be charged a convenience fee for taking money out of the nearby ATM. I didn't know what some of the menu items were, since there was no explanation of what goes into it. A customer overheard me and offered to explain the menu, which helped me make my decision. I ended up getting the aquachile tostada and my fiance ordered the 7 chiles and surf and turf tacos. Too bad they don't offer any fresh drinks, just bottled ones, so we tried the coconut horchata one. It was an interesting combination, but I prefer the regular horchata by itself. While we were waiting for our order, we were given some consumme that was so rich and even had pieces of fish in it. The tacos were huge and my tostada looked so wonderful! Everything tasted great and my aguachile was extremely spicy and very flavorful. The tacos were absolutely delicious- I liked that they give you a lot of fixings/meat/seafood in it as well. The lady working there said you can always call ahead to place your order if you're in a time crunch, so that is really good to know!
Never eating here again!!! I had ordered some consomé. The day was windy, chilly, and cloudy, so it sounded good. Nice and warm with a little bit of spice. I have to be thankful the consomé was SUPER hot (temperature), and had to blow on it prior to eating. UNFORTUNATELY, I did have about 3-4 spoonfuls before i noticed there we roaches IN MY SOUP. THANKFULLY, i didn't finish the entire cup before finding them. But, it's still not something you'd want to find in your meal. My boyfriend went back to the location, to inform them of our find, and they blamed us for putting the roaches in the soup. Then they tried to say they were flies. No... Those are definitely roaches. They were asked to throw out the pot of soup, which they did, and there were a few more in the actual pot, mixed in with the vegetables. I have eaten here before (several times). The food is usually very good, but i'm never eating here again. Due to their inability to accept responsibility, take action, and blame a customer. If you wouldn't want your family to eat food with roaches or pests in it, why would it be ok to serve that to your customers? They have made my order incorrectly, a few times, but I was willing to overlook that. I usually walk up, place my order, then wait in my car. I usually have my meals to go. Since i live fairly close to this location. But now that i think about it, the truck, and covered area, are actually pretty dirty... I'm sure the truck is a permanent fixture, and kept outdoors. But it's still pretty dirty. Again, something i was willing to overlook, since the food was good, and seemed well made. Food is good... But eat here at your own risk!!
I've been coming here for years, it's really good spot for Mariscos. Favorites are coctel, surf n turf tacos. They only accept cash, so make sure you stop by the ATM before you arrive. There's also a liquor store if you want to take money out from there.
The best fish tacos I've ever had. If you know me, you know I love tacos. And these were the best fish tacos I've ever had. Honestly, it's everything about the place. The fact that you're six miles from the border, at a little truck, with extremely friendly service, complimentary soup in a styrofoam cup, the fish is fresh and crispy and buttery and melts in your mouth, the salsas are sharp and cut the flavor so well, ... everything. No, it's not fancy, but tacos shouldn't be. Yes, if you don't speak Spanish, you might stumble in your ordering a bit (I had no idea the lady was offering free soup but I just said yes bc why not). But do yourself a favor and go get yourself a cheap, delicious fish taco. Note, being from the Bay Area, the place I typically go for fish tacos recently raised their prices from 4.55 to 5.25 a taco, which is absolutely ridiculous (but I still get 'em, what can I say), so the price really sealed the deal for me here. I don't remember exactly how much it was, but less than $2 for a taco. I miss it.
I prefer my fish tacos "a la plancha" or cooked on a hot griddle, not battered and deep fried, and I was happy to learn that German Beyer offers them made this way as well. I ordered one for $4. The fish taco was a lot larger than I thought it was going to be and stuffed with a lot of fish, hence worth the $4. The fish taco came wrapped in two warm corn tortillas, which was a very good idea, because they did not hold back on the ingredients. The fish was piping hot, moist succulent, very well seasoned, and had a light brown exterior. I was very impressed with the fish's preparation. The shredded cabbage and tomatoes were crisp and fresh, and the light creamy sauce that came with the taco was just right. I added one of the a little of one of their red hot sauce and it had good flavor with a nice bite. The truck works out of a small parking lot with limited parking, so street parking is mostly required. Lines can get quite long during lunch and dinner peak hours, so keep that in mind. Hooray for grilled fish tacos!
As I said in my tip, it's a taco truck vato, not a food truck. They don't put their prices on the menu outside, so you have to guess. We ordered two fish tacos, a tostada de ceviche (camaron), and a shrimp quesadilla. It also came with two small cups of consume (fish soup) all for $15. The tostada was good and they piled so much on there I was able to make two tostadas with the extra tortilla they gave me. It's in the hood though, so it's a bit grimy around there, but what to expect. Bonus, it's next to a dulceria (mexican candy store) so you can go next door for dessert.
The most unassuming spot with the best fish tacos and seafood in SD!!! We stop by here anytime we are in SD from LA!! No joke this truck is the real deal!!
I've been coming here for years and the quality is always the same...which is amazing. These are by far the best fish tacos, and steak tacos I've had in sd. The flavor is so fresh and juicy and yummy mmmm. The reason I'm posting now is because of how amazed I was by the customer service last night. A guy working there actually came out the truck and helped me put all the toppings on mine and even put it in my car for me. I had my hands full with my little one and being preggo. Thank you to whoever you were!!!! I'm sure I'll be back again this week...and next!
I would never come here to eat again. They dont know how to make good food, it seems like they got the stove figured out and that's it no seasoning no salt nothing. I would think they would make a little effort to hide the foul taste of old musty sea food but to each his own. In conclusion you should not waist your time coming to this piece of S#it they dare call a taco truck.
Fast service, killer tacos. Know the atmosphere - this is a food truck with limited seating, standing room only. Menu is in Spanish and lady spoke limited English. Worth it. I just asked for the fish tacos, they were so cheap and delicious (two of them are 3 bucks!). They came out hot and fast. Probably the best fish tacos I've ever had - but I rarely indulge in fried ones. They come grilled as well. We ordered the tostadas pescado which I didn't even realize would be raw, ceviche style - but it was good. Complimentary cup of stew was so tasty! Driving by it is easy to miss. Your GPS will take you exactly there, it is hidden by the liquor store in front! Parking lot available. Drive down to Chula Vista on your trip to San Diego and get these tacos!!!

Campechana with no pulpo or oyster just shrimp.. Anybody that has any questions you can call me directly I'm willing to put my number out there to let you guys know that they are not good I can recommend some spots hit me up. 619-601-8275 Cesar read more
Excellent fish tacos! A co worker brought me to lunch here at 10 am on a Friday to beat there rush. This taco truck is located in the back of a liquor store parking lot. They have a porta potty if you need one, lol he order us each a fish taco and shrimp ceviche. The fish taco was higher and tasty. It was dripping with cream sauce and hot sauce I added. I ate the taco so fast I forgot to take a picture. Next we had shrimp ceviche. The shrimp were large and butterflied with sliced red onion and zucchini. It was spicy but just right amount. read more

I had a chance to look over the reviews, and they all or almost say bad thing about this place. Where it is, the food, the things around it. The cleanliness around it. Well let's get one thing straight about this. It's a food truck. I know that not all placed are clean but your in the hood. What do you expect. If you are ok to eat out if a truck or on the side of a road. Then I have to say you are truly for down south. This place is truly a little spot for Mexico. My wife and my Family are for mexico. And the food hits the rite spot. Even down to give you a little fish soup. The Fish batter they used is the same. I came down here to try this place out and I will be coming back again and again. read more
This is the best fish taco in all of San Diego! They give you a nice big hunk of fish that is crispy crunchy and fresh! The batter is tasty, light, and fried to perfection. All of the other ingredients are delicious and not overbearing on the fish itself. I do not think that the tortillas are homemade however. I think that the shrimp Diablo taco is much better at TJ oyster. I was not a fan of the shrimp Diablo here. It was extremely spicy and they leave the poop chutes in the shrimp. I do like spicy but this was to the point that you could not taste anything else and I broke out in a immediate sweat. The owner Jorge is a real pleasure to meet! He saw me sweating out the diablo and came over concerned lol. He let me try another piece of fish with the seven chili spice marinade which I must say was amazing. If you do not want fried fish and you like spicy get the seven chili marinade! You can taste the complexity of each chili and it is quite extraordinary. He does have another truck fairly close on Hollister, so that's why there are two Marisco's German this was the original and it's hidden behind a liquor store. He did used to be in South Park years ago but his cousin has that truck now and it's not the same. read more
Rossi H rates Mariscos German as the second best fish taco in San Diego... Here is his review in a nutshell: Second best fish taco in San Diego. Second best fish taco in San Diego. Second best fish taco in San Diego. Second best fish taco in San Diego. Second best fish taco in San Diego... you get the point. My opionion: For the price of $1.25 each, this is a contender for fish taco of the year. Well, at least for the moment as I look at the empty container that once held three of those perfectly fried fishes that now call my belly home. It has been far too long, (2 weeks) since I treated myself to this Barrio Logan / Sherman Heights gem and this truck deserves a little more love on my end. Look at me love! The free cosome is a nice touch even of the hottest of days. Don't know what cosome is? You will have to make your way down to 22nd and Imperial to find out, friends. read more

I read an article the other day from a national media outlet saying this was the best fish taco in san diego. I've included the link here: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5607927 After reading that, I had to give it a try. Especially with some of the other places on the list ranked below. I wasn't disappointed one bit Its located right off the 905 at Beyer Blvd in a parking lot by a liquor store. I ordered 3 fish tacos, have to say I was impressed. Perfect amount of everything, cooked all the way through, just the way I would make it myself if I was able to make it that good. Ive had some good fish tacos, but in no way do i consider myself the expert to say "its the best." I will say it was damn good and ill be going back and exploring some more of the many delicious looking options I saw today. Keep it up read more
BOMB ASS FISH TACOS! These are some the best fish tacos I've had. The batter is light and crisp, the fish isn't soggy and oily, and the slaw and sauces had good flavor. The best part is that these things are only $1.35! So cheap! I got 3 fish tacos and 1 shrimp. The shrimp tacos were good too but I liked the fish more. I definitely recommend this joint to anyone looking for some fish tacos or just simple, amazing food that won't break the bank. Be sure to bring cash! read more
My search for the best fish taco continues.... First of all, if you are going to complain about cleanliness or the looks of the truck, you shouldn't be eating at a food truck. They are held to the same standards as restaurants, and I guarantee that truck is probably cleaner than your own kitchen! Anyhow, I love fish tacos (Baja style only - none of that grilled crap!). I have a favorite place in San Diego, but continually look for other options. I had heard so many great things about Mariscos German that I had to try it. My friends live nearby, so it wasn't a long drive (if you aren't nearby, it will be far, and in my opinion, not worth the drive). It's hard to complain when it's only $1.25 per taco. And I really don't have any complaints - my tacos were good, just not great. I wasn't immediately WOWED. There just wasn't a ton of flavor, although everything was as it should be. They will give you a cup of their fish soup to enjoy while you wait. This isn't my thing, so I passed. But my friend really enjoyed it. It probably took about 10 minutes for our food, which we didn't mind. My friend's husband ordered one of their specialty tacos, which was all seafood. It was HUGE and had tons of "meat." He really enjoyed it. I think this taco was around $4 or so, and it was a deal. The neighborhood didn't bother me at all. Although it was a bit uncomfortable that there were 2 homeless Gentlemen posted up out front, begging for food. Another customer bought them each a taco, which they appreciated. Overall, a nice hidden gem. Just not mind blowing. read more

If you're looking for delicious seafood when visiting San Diego, this is the place to go to. It's authentic, fresh and delicious. With every order, you get a small cup of fish consomé to warm you up. Every taco we had we loved but our absolute favorite was the 7 Chiles taco. The fish is grilled with a spicy sauce and topped with arugala and sour cream....perfect combination! read more
After discussing the high quality of Mariscos at El Mazateño in Tijuana with a friend recently, I was referred to a food truck behind a liquor store off of Beyer Avenue and the 905 freeway in Otay Mesa. He described it as "the best seafood that I've ever had". He wasn't kidding. On my first trip, I ordered the Marlon taco, a shrimp taco and a fish taco. Each taco had a huge portion of fish inside and I could tell the seafood was really fresh. The Marlon taco was especially outstanding... With cheese melted around the fish... Bell peppers, celery and seasoning.. I was so hungry and the tacos so delicious that I forgot to take pictures before I tore through it. Short of going into Tijuana for fish tacos, this is my new go-to place in San Diego. Thankfully, it is close to work. No more fast food or Subway sandwiches on the way into work for me! Mariscos El German is LEGIT. read more

The fish tacos that everyone raves about? They're not bad. Not the best I ever had, but good for the price. But what's this Taco Gobernador business? This one is Shrimp with grilled Tomatoes, Green Peppers, Onions and something I would never have thought to add in a million years: A little bit of Celery. It sounds so wrong and tastes so right. If you get just one taco, The Gobernador is way to go. read more
