I have mixed feelings on this truck after our visit. I probably would've done 3.5 if possible. Walking up, there are no prices on the menu, so adding that would have been helpful in deciding our order. They were very friendly though and made a suggestion for my husband's fish burrito after asking if he liked spicy food. The wait time for our food seemed reasonable. He enjoyed his burrito, saying it was quite spicy. Our friends also ordered a fish burrito and a smoked tuna sandwich, which they both really enjoyed, but couldn't finish the whole portion. I got a fish taco and the aguachile. The fish taco was delicious. A good size, and they had many hot sauces to spice it up as you wanted. The aguachile was just ok though. It does say on the menu it is spicy, but for those who may be debating on ordering it, it is really spicy. I was good with that, but I didn't think the shrimp was very fresh. It was just a little chewy and soggy at the same time. I think I would just stick to the fish tacos next time. Overall I would give it another try, but would do different items. read more

I've been coming here for many years, I typically buy fish tacos. Not long ago, they used to be served on a full size corn tortilla and cost $2.50, I went today and they're $3.75 each AND they now use a very small tortilla, not quite the mini sized ones, but not much bigger than those. The tacos used to also have plenty of fish, not the case anymore. Today I also purchased a carne asada burrito for my son, and that was $13.75. I didn't ask for anything extra on the burrito, just off the menu. And something else about the posted menu, it had no prices like it used to. In the past, I've waited for a long time for my order to be ready, and dealt with it, but at these prices for such a small fish taco, not worth it anymore. I'm never coming back. read more

FISHHH TACOOOS! I absolutely LOVE that they offer you a small side of soup for free while you're waiting for your food to be made. Not to mention, they are fast at making the food! The fish tacos are BOMB. They're big, they're fresh, they're crispy, they're delicious. And they have different hot sauces to choose from. And don't forget the spicy onions!!! Drooool. read more

Soooo, I used to live here and this place was great. I came down to visit and went here and the prices have gone up but the fish tacos now include battered, grilled, etc. for $2.50. I ordered 2 grilled and 8 battered. Looked at my receipt and they charged me an extra $7.50 (a la plancha). I asked the cashier and she said it was because the grilled fish were bigger. Doesn't make sense at all since it doesn't say that on their menu any where. Used to think this place was great but now I'm never coming back here again. You should post the right prices and not have surprise charges. Also, it took 40 minutes for my order. read more

On a quest to find the best Baja fish taco in San Diego. This place rated top on many lists. Voted top five fish taco by Zagats in the country. It had good potential... hole in the wall... food truck vibe. Unfortunately I don't think I'd go back. The fish was too fried.... the outside was crunchy and was like a hard shell and there was little fish. We got both the fish and shrimp tacos. The carnitas burrito was HUUUUGE. Maybe one of the biggest I ever had. No rice. No beans. Just meat , a little cheese, a little salsa. read more

This place gave me nightmarish food poisoning that lasted two days. I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital, after I couldn't walk after the first day. I had the fried fish taco, gobernator taco, and the free soup. The fish taco was undercooked (mushy liquid batter inside) so I only had a couple bites of that. I've always loved food trucks and have never gotten worse than a belly ache, but now I'm scared. read more

Terrible service I order shrimp tacos burn lady giving out the food was rude it's amazing how many people left with out there food after paying for it they were talking for ever for simple food items read more

Waited politely for 20 mins for a single burrito. Followed up said I was next. 10 mins go by nothing. Turns out they forgot my order. No acknowledgement no apologies. Not even worth the $11. Terrible customer service never going to eat here again. Edit: burrito was actually $13 not including ATM fee and took 45 mins. Not worth. Oscar's Mexican seafood is much better in all respects. read more

Fish tacos are good but the caldo de 7 mares had like a pound of onion and bell pepper. I wish I could have taken a picture of it so you know I'm not exaggerating. Do not order caldos from here read more

We are working in the neighborhood and always looking to try new lunch spots. I was blown away with the food from Mariscos German. These guys know what they are doing. I only get the fish tacos and the carne asada and both are outstanding! They serve you a small complimentary cup of vegetable soup and it's a nice treat while you wait for the food. The other nice thing is the salsa bar; pickled onions, limes, and tasty hot sauce. Great job guys - 5/5 stars! read more

I passed by this truck too many times to count. Eventually I wanted to get my seafood fix on without going to City Heights. I pulled into the parking lot, parked in a liquor store space and decided to see what this was all about. I went up to the order window and was greeted by a very kind employee who asked me what i wanted. I told her "crazy tostada and grilled fish taco please". Upon ordering, I asked for a bag for onions and four sauce containers. Ask for soup while you are waiting. It is complementary and it's ridiculously good. Lids for sauce containers are at end of truck, onions and limes are adjacent to the ordering area. I eventually got my food, which was incredibly fresh and delicious. Tons of fresh shellfish such as oysters, clams, and even abalone! It also came with avocado, ceviche, and four tostadas. Everything was fresh and delivered what was intended. Came back a couple of times since and its still as good as I remember. Quality, service, and cost are all consistent. read more

So the cashier DID NOT wash her hands from touching money straight to handling food very disappointing because the food always used to taste so good but this situation threw me off read more

The food is super yummy!! Cheap the tacos are amazing I've been a customer since 2015 I stopped going for a while because I guess the changed the cook and the food wasn't that good anymore but I decided to give it a try again yesterday and guess what! They are back!! Everything was amazing !! The only bad thing is that they are a food truck so no parking place and no tables so you have to eat standing up. But with it!! read more

Had their battered shrimp and battered fish tacos. Both delish! Certainly recommend, and we will be back for their other seafood goodies!

So much deliciousness for so little $$ I got a fish taco and shrimp taco, and they were both amazing, especially the shrimp taco. The tacos were pretty big, the cabbage and tomatoes were fresh, and the sauce and pickled onions were They also gave us a small cup of veggie/fish soup before our tacos came out. Not sure what it's called, but the soup was hearty, savory, and delicious. I would say this place is just as good as Ricks, maybe better. I wish you guys were in LA!!! read more

This place doesn't clean their shrimp. My taco gobernador went straight to trash because I'm not about to eat a shit taco, wasted $7. The fish tacos were JUST okay. read more

This truck is the Bomb! The fish tacos. Ceviche, and Aquachilles (I probably spelled that wrong) are seriously delicious. Don't forget to grab some of the Chipotle sauce for your fish tacos. Oh, and they also give you a free seafood soup that is great too- you just have to ask for it. This place is a definite must whenever you're in Dego. read more

So I'm giving this place 3 not because they're not good but because it's literally taking 30min to get 4 fish tacos and one gobernador. I have two kids so it was frustrating waiting with two kids who wanted to eat and there is no tables anymore like they have before and it was just taking for ever and there was 5 workers in the truck so not sure why it took for ever just for 5 tacos. This is the closest fish taco truck to my home so I come here instead of driving to Chula Vista but I think they need to speed their process up more. Chula Vista taco trucks have a place to at least sit down and they are much faster and have more customers.. so if you don't mind waiting and this place is close to you come it's decent. Just know if you have kids being a tablet or something to keep them entertained read more

Mariscos German - The menu - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

The food is good just the new cashiers are trash. She tries to over charge often so ask for receipt.

This is the only place I will eat sea food from. This place has made me realize how much I've been missing out with not eating sea food. The food is fresh and delicious! Ive had their burritos, tostadas, cocktails, clamatos etc...Ive never been disappointed. Yes, there is quite a bit of a wait which I don't mind since its fresh. I always hear customers complaining after only waiting only 15 minutes. Don't expect to get your food in 3 minutes its not a fast food chain. Its fresh and with freshness expect a wait so it can be made fresh. read more

Delicious fish tacos and Siete de mares consume is wonderful. Great prices and very friendly workers. I recommend this food truck everyone delicious read more

Love their seafood but the girl giving the food out was super rude! I think they are new because I never had that experience before.

If you prefer to eat low quality food with very little flavor and like being overcharged then this place is not for you. If you like ingredients that read like a chemistry exam then this place is not for you. If you refuse to eat in a parking lot or in your car then this place is not for you. read more

Best fish tacos around and only $1.75 every day. I've tried the ceviche and other items but the first tacos are my favorite. Rubio's has nothing on this place. Did I mention you get a free cup of seafood soup (consomme) with your order? Uh, yes please! read more

This is my 2nd time here @ this truck. So far what I like to get is ceviche, aguachiles & the fish tacos aren't too bad either (I prefer grilled fish over fried but these are pretty good). I've tried their asada tacos but didn't care for them too much; they advertise themselves as a seafood truck though so go figure. The soup that they give you to sip on while waiting for your food is EVERYTHING!!! read more

Just tried to eat here (10/13/20) I ordered 1 arrachera taco, and 2 fish tacos. Waited at least 15 min and there was no one waiting ahead of me. Finally the food came and the lady tried to give me a marlin taco instead of the arrachera. I told her that's not what I ordered and she turned the clear food bag sideways then upside down to look at it. Then she rudely pulled all of the food and salsas out, clearly with a bad attitude and splayed it all out in front of her. Then she opened the taco to see what it was. Then said I ordered a marlin taco. I said that is wrong. By the way her mask was on her chin, not her mouth. She rolled her eyes and said talk to her(the clerk). She came over and I said what I ordered and she said aloud that the cook(chin mask lady) would make it right now. The cook just stood there with her mouth open staring at the clerk and then kind of huffed and rolled her eyes and went to I guess make it. I said fuck this and just asked for my money back and left. The cook lady was a total TOTAL you know what. I'm not dealing that bs customer service. Not when there is better, less expensive taco trucks 5 min away. No Taco Tuesday deals by the way as this is Tuesday. I did leave my $1 in the tip jar as the clerk gave me my money back quickly and politely. Never going there again and that was my 1st time there. What a joke. All she had to do was make my taco and she acted like I asked them to wash my car. read more

Must try the clamato you can order it with shrimp or clams. I order it plain. This sea food truck is bomb. Everything is good.

I went last weekend with my girlfriend to go buy some mariscos. I ordered some tostadas and tacos but unfortunately ever since I ate that food I'm never going to eat there again. I went there Sunday and I've been having non stop diarrhea for days. It's been three days already and I still feel bad. Not only that, my girlfriend also has diarrhea. It's really embarrassing for me to write this but I also wanted to let you guys know to be careful when you come to this place because they don't take care of there seafood. The shrimp stinks and they don't clean it properly. Also, the scallops stink like if they weren't properly in a cold temperature at all times. Eating seafood like this can be very dangerous and also give you bad diarrhea. read more

Came here for a late lunch with a friend. Had a couple fish tacos that did not sit well at all. Ended up catching the stomach flu along with some inflammation in my intestine as a result. Will never come here again. Ever. As a professional in the industry, I urge you business owners to please use proper preparation and sanitation procedures when working with fish and other raw meats. No one deserves to get sick because of your negligence. read more

Consommé is good to start off, and their standard fish taco good but NOT 30 minute wait good (and I only ordered 4). If im going to wait that long, id prefer it be at a fancy restaurant. I'd reccomend ONLY if passing by, but NOT if in a rush, and NOT worth traveling to. read more

Been coming here for years. Only had 1 bad menu item so far. The smoked tuna taco is the best I've had in SD. For $4.75, u will be hard pressed to put more than 1 down. Very generous portions! Free consume is a plus. Fish tacos are solid although the prices keep going up? The cockteles are rock solid and packed fat with seafood. All these items are very good! HOWEVER.....DO NOT order the 7 seas soup! The shrimp is cooked down to almost nothing left and it's packed with imitation crab and tilapia. Not even worth $5 imo let alone $13 or $14 they charge for it. read more

I recommend the Marlin or Gobernador taco (or both) with the chipotle sauce.. my fav's! Ask for the consome, free cup of soup.. I've been here many times and will continue to come back! Glad to have this option close to work. read more

My favorite mariscos truck!!! I'm always on the look for great mariscos. I ordered an aguachile tostada and it was delicious!! Full of shrimp, avocado and onion. The fish tacos were also huge and good. We also tried the Clamato and it did not disappoint. I like how everything is fresh and clean. They do take credit cards. I go at last once a week : ) Try it! read more

These used to be the best tacos but last time we waited 40 minutes for our tacos when there was only 2 people in front of us. The cashier was not wearing her mask properly and went from touching the money directly to handling food. They do not enforce mask wearing on staff or on customers as many were maskless and waiting for food. Too bad, I used to love this place. read more

Can never go wrong with the Fish tacos or shrimp ceviche! It's sooo good but there is a bit of a wait to order and to receive your food. But it's cheap and good so why not wait?! read more
