Mariscos Jaliscos has been on my list for a while now. This lint season i have been on a Mariscos journey trying out new spots in the ELA/BH area, especially on Friday's. Mariscos Jaliscos is a simple, humble and easy going food truck that easily beats any sit in boujee restaurant. Their menu is simple and easy to understand. Mariscos Jalisco is best known for their Fried shrimp tacos however, they have one of the best aguachiles I've tasted hands down. Their shrimp tacos are absolutely amazing with the right crunchiness and soft fried shrimp inside. The sauce that comes with these tacos are jam packed with flavor adding to the overall flavors/texture of the shrimp taco. Hurts to say it but this might be my new favorite shrimp taco in ELA/Boyle Heights area. The service here is quick and friendly. I went on a Friday afternoon and did not find busy crowds at this food truck. Street parking is available and the times that i've visited other food trucks nearby i was able to find quick parking. Its a busy street so you will find people coming in and out of parking spots most of the time. I enjoyed my experience here at Mariscos Jalisco and will be coming back very soon. You all need to come to this place. read more

We ordered the tacos dorados de camarón ($3 each) and they were honestly the highlight--super good, piping hot and packed with a lot of shrimp. They come topped with salsa and avocado which adds a nice balance to the crispy taco. We also asked which aguachile was spicier, the red or the green, and they recommended the red, so we went with that. The 16 oz aguachile rojo ($20) was definitely spicy and comes with avocado and tostadas on the side, which made it great for sharing. Service was quick on a Monday afternoon, which was nice. The only downside is parking--street parking is pretty limited. They do have a small lot but it's $10 valet, so just keep that in mind. read more

There's street parking to get here and even that could be tricky. Expect to parallel park. The line moves quickly and the staff are nice and friendly. The food is ready fairly quick. They have an indoor seating area with some simple tables and chairs. There's restrooms available. I got the shrimp tacos. They were hot and fresh. It's a nice crispy crunch with each bite. It's flavorful and the avocado is a nice touch. The sauce used keeps the plate wet which might make the tacos soggy. But I actually ate all three tacos quick enough to avoid that issue just cause they were that good! It's definitely worth a try! read more

My husband had been craving these shrimp tacos. We used to go to 4 vientos but their quality changed. These shrimp tacos are similar but a little more flavorful. He also got the tostada with agua chiles on top, little too much going on with that. Over all food was good. They have a small hall set up with chairs and tables to eat. read more

Despicable prices for mediocre portions on a pathetic tostada They changed their sauce for the Poseidon it's total trash only burns your tongue with no appeasing flavor. They're soo skimpy and hold onto getting recognition 2 years ago. Highway robbery . Stay away from the " shrimp tacos" it's like a corn starch mush with no visible shrimp maybe a corn sized piece, Soo deceiving. read more

Came here after a recommendation. The tacos were alright. I'm not the biggest food truck person. The taco salsa was the best part. I would have gotten salsa alone if I could. The tacos seemed like a mix of grounded shrimp and whole shrimp. I'd say standard. Plenty of seating inside. It was really quiet. Standard service. read more

Cash only. Seafood galore!!! Fresh and cooked seafood, but definitely known for fresh seafood (taco, tostada, sopes, cocktails, ceviche style, etc). No alcohol allowed. Casual dining indoors, or do the food truck in the front of entrance. Sadly not open past 5pm/no dinner here! They have either medium spicy items and no spicy....but no mild spicy haha There are multiple locations. This location has bigger indoor dining. There is another location just blocks away. That location already looked packed on a Thursday 340pm with all outdoor patio seating taken. We are still looking forward to trying that location too. Music is festive noise level and just barely below too loud, where it feels like a party while dining here. Expect some sticky menu and tables to match your experience. Staff is really nice! $6.35 Poseidos (octopus shrimp) tacos. Spicy level can't be changed, and it's definitely spicy (medium spicy). Those who are mild will not tolerate it. $19.25 La Perrona (octopus shrimp) tostadas. The spicy is medium and can't be changed. It was our server's favorite. So good!!! Huge. I'm sure it's meant to be split with another person. $4.60 Aguas Frescas Naturales. They were out of Jamaica today mid afternoon Thursday. But they had cucumber lime though. It's was good. Not overly sweet. No beers here. But everyone had the typical Mexican coke. I have interest in coming with others and trying their Botanas y Papas, and Sopas next time! We over ordered for 2ppl but it was worth it!! read more

If you're in East LA and craving shrimp tacos, you have to go to Mariscos Jalisco. This place seriously has the best shrimp tacos -- they are consistently amazing. They never miss. Every single time we order, they're crispy, flavorful, and perfectly made. They also make for great leftovers! The service is always so friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. My family actually makes this our go-to spot before events -- we'll order a big batch of tacos to take with us, and they're always a crowd pleaser. At about $3.27 per taco, it's a great deal, especially when you're ordering in large quantities. One thing to know: they're cash only, so come prepared! But they make it super easy for big to-go orders. They pack everything up so thoughtfully -- salsa, hot sauce, avocados, limes, utensils, napkins -- all ready for parties or gatherings. We love this place so much. Definitely one of our all-time favorite spots in LA! read more

I haven't been in ages. I use to love the taco Cameron. Crunchy tacos with large shrimp tops succulent ripe slices of avocado. I was so excited to devour them again. Unfortunately I was really disappointed. I'm hoping it was just an off day. The taco filling was just minced shrimp that had gooey texture and with semi raw filling. The avocado were thin slices and it just did have the previous flick of flavor. I do like that they do have simple indoor seating with large bottles of hot sauces. I pains me to write this review and I hope the next time I go and can be impressed enough to adjust my rating higher read more

This iconic LA food truck can be found on the streets of Boyle Heights. The hard-shell shrimp tacos at Mariscos Jalisco are an iconic LA dish. They're consistently recognized as one of the best bites in LA and they're worth $2.75. I don't know everything that they put in this taco, but there's definitely shrimp, avocado, cabbage, and salsa in a hard shell and it's delicious. If you're looking for LA's best street food, then this is a top spot to check out! Even as a street food taco trunk, they've been recognized by the LA Times as one of LA's top 101 restaurants since 2013. They took LA Times' "Gold Award" in 2024 as a top spot for one of the best bites in LA. read more

I love this food truck. It's truly a bang for your buck. 2.75 per shrimp tacos and they come out pipin hot. The workers were super nice and explained to me the sides that were provided with the tacos. There some tables in front of the truck if you want to dine in and have that street food ambiance. I can't choose between mariscos 4 vientos or this place. Both are very good and have their own pros and cons! Parking can be difficult though. read more

Fact: Mariscos Jalisco has the best crunchy shrimp Tacos in Los Angeles. Evidence: The crunchy shrimp tacos from mariscos jaliscos are the gold standard of crunchy tacos. Expect a deliciously fried taco with a perfected formula filing of shrimp and potato. It's moist, but not mushy, crunchy but not charred. Unlike any taco you've had, it's worth the drive.

What I Ordered: Tacos de Camarón $2.75 I've had Mariscos Jalisco bookmarked on Yelp and Google for a minute now. I should have come here ages ago! I finally set out to Boyle Heights to see what this hype was all about. Did it live up to the hype? Yes, it did! For the price of $6, you get two tacos. You really can't beat that deal! 2 Tacos won't fill you up, but it's a satisfying meal. I liked the display of the Tacos de Camarón here as it's not as smothered with salsa as 4 Vientos. It also comes with a slice of lime with is a nice touch. The portion size was much smaller than Mariscos 4 Vientos and had less shrimp as well. However, the quality of the shrimp tasted better here. It was also less starchy tasting than 4 Vientos. I would definitely come back here again for a Tacos de Camarón. I also want to try the Tostadas here. read more

Ordered and ate outside on 07/06/25 and 07/12/25 again - significantly more potato in the taco than last time. Tried the Poseidon, ceviche the camaron, and tacos de camaron. Poseidon had a spicy kick for sure and felt like the ceviche could use more acidity and texture as the shrimp is cut into super small pieces. Favorite part was definitely the octopus pieces, which were tasty and not chewy! Service was super accommodating and quick; I forgot cash and the staff was kind enough let me Zelle / Venmo. Make sure you bring cash to support! Great prices as per usual, after two tacos, one Poseidon, and one ceviche it came out to be $27 before tip. Between two people, we had leftovers to bring home. Ambience: Both times I came the indoor seating was not available anymore, so plan to eat outside. read more

We went after normal lunch hour, and there were only a few people waiting. It is cash only, so beware if you don't normally carry cash. We were prepared, so there was no issue. Parking is all street parking. It's a main street that's pretty busy and crowded. The food tasted fresh and was good. We paid about $40 for the 4 things we ordered, which isn't insanely crazy in this day and age with food prices. There is a ln indoor seating area that's clean and well kept. read more

Stopped here specifically for the Tacos de Camaron, and man they were amazing! The seafood was so fresh and flavorful, absolutely loved it. If you looking for some seafood tacos this is the place to come. The service was great, super friendly. When we saw it was cash only we went to go find an atm and one of the guys ran out and let us know they accept Venmo and Zelle. They even had a room next to their truck with a super clean seating area and bathroom. This was super nice since it was pouring rain outside and it gave us a chance to relax and enjoy! read more

We stopped in the afternoon by to try their famous fried shrimp tacos. You have to order at the truck but it's parked in front of their indoor dining room with clean bathrooms. We ordered 4 tacos de camaron which are crispy shrimp tacos along with a ceviche tostada and an aguachile tostada. The tacos were great and were hot out of the fryer - not a whole lot of shimp but were super tasty - I'm not exactly sure what was in the filling, perhaps a mixture of shrimp and potato? The ceviche was good and refreshing the aguachile was super habanero picante hot - a bit too spicy for my taste. Definitely worth the trip! read more

Legitimately the best tacos I've had in my entire lifetime. Service is pretty quick and I haven't come across a long wait time yet. They operate from a food truck, but they do have some seating indoors. I always order shrimp tacos and the shrimp ceviche. The shrimp tacos are super crispy and the shrimp was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. The avocado & yummy salsa were a great complement to the tacos. The flavor of the tacos was perfection. And to top it off, the shrimp ceviche I ate after the tacos was so delicious as well - it tasted so refreshing with the lime, avocado, and tomato. Super fresh and a great way to end the meal!! I wish I lived a lot closer so I could eat this way more often. Please do yourself a huge favor and try their shrimp tacos ASAP and finish it off with some ceviche!! Sooo good, I can't wait to go back again. read more

Mariscos Jalisco - 4 shrimp tacos + shrimp ceviche - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place will be a must visit from now every time I visit LA. We arrived on a slow Tuesday afternoon and there were a few people waiting for their orders. Had to wait about 10 minutes for our order to be made. What I didn't know is that they also have seating in the building they're parked next to. With bathrooms and all. That was very convenient because I didn't want to eat all of this in my rental. Service was also great. Very friendly people in that truck. My son and I both got two shrimp tacos each. You get a perfect crunchy taco with a mixture of shrimp and potatoes, then topped with a tomato salsa and avocado. A truly amazing experience. My son wasn't looking forward to this place was just as amazed in the delicious these tacos were. He's definitely down to come back again as well. I also ordered an aguachile tostada. That's another thing Chicago is lacking. Some damn good aguachiles. These weren't as spicy as I have preferred but that's probably a good thing since I was traveling. The sauce used for the aguachile was very flavorful. I literally grabbed a spoon to eat the remanning sauce on the plate. The tostada was fairly priced and a good portion. They also have a bottle of their habanero sauce on the table that tasted really good and can give your dish that extra heat if desired. I can't wait to come back. read more

Stopped by for just a quick taste today on my way through. Absolute wow, no wonder this place has so many awards. The freshness of the seafood in the Tacos de Camaron just blew us away. Not at all what I was expecting and even my kids were raving about how good these tacos were. Service was great, I ended up not having cash and turned around to run to an atm. Well the awesome guy at the register must have heard us because he ran after us and let us know he accepted Zelle and Venmo as well! This was awesome, saved us time. He was also super helpful with the menu options and walked us through it. Lastly, I had NO IDEA there was inside seating here! It was a crappy rainy day and this was a great way to escape the ensuing downpour and flood... read more

Sometimes the most delicious foods are simple and affordable. Mariscos Jalisco shrimp tacos and ceviche are the best in LA. Every one of their food trucks serve the same amazing quality seafood, although I think this one on Olympic is slightly better. What I don't understand is why the truck parked up the street with a "4" in the name has a longer line. The food here is much better and they also have better service. Not to mention they don't charge for hot sauce. I've mistakenly gone to the other truck before, so ppl should be careful since the trucks are so close. read more

Had high expectations for the shrimp tacos here and they did not disappoint! Mariscos Jalisco has been serving East LA for a long time and there's a reason why it's still around. The crispy shell shrimp tacos alone are worth the visit here but try the poseidon tostada (deliciously spicy!!) as well. A tostada with all of their ceviches generously stacked on top with enough seafood to share for 2/3 people. There a perfect ledge to sit on as well to enjoy the food. read more

Was excited to try this place but these are Avg shrimp tacos. Dont get the hype. Nothing special about this place.

This street is full of old mechanic shops and taco trucks and I think I died and went to heaven. The shrimp ceviche was good but the shrimp tacos were delicious. Hot filling in a crunchy shell with salsa and avocado on top. Cash only. I appreciated that they have an indoor area with tables to sit and eat, and a bathroom, especially to wash my hands after the mess the ceviche tortilla turned into towards the end. read more

Omg so bombbbbbb! Love that there's table seating inside the building right by the truck. The red bottle has the spicier hot sauce if you're down for that! Parking is really hard so plan accordingly. I could really eat these shrimp tacos all day. Sooooo crunchy so delicious. I ask for the salsa on the side so that I can keep them extra crunchy. Thank you for all your hard work guys! read more

If you are a seafood lover def stop by! Quick and fast with an indoor dining area after you've ordered and picked up from the food truck.

I heard they are so successful two other locations opened up. This Boyle heights location, they even added an indoor seating room with chairs tables hot sauce napkins for you to dine inside. Shrimp tacos: crispy outside, topped with flavorful tomato sauce, slices of avocados looks like imitation crab, Inside is soft and juicy, add a squeeze of lemon and enjoy! Mixed cocktail was delicious and refreshing, chilled to right temp, the juice flavor levels we're just right, I drank all of it out of the cup at the end of eating all the mixed selection of seafood of shrimp oysters octopus scallops fish etc, it was delish!

This place is a staple of LA Mexican food especially for seafood. The taco de camaron is their mainstay with their very crunchy shell and sauce and tender shrimp and fillings. Their ceviche is also excellent especially when I order tostada mixto which comes with octopus fish and shrimp together which goes together very well and it is very tender. I would love to come back to try their Poseidon and peinados. The staff is very chill and orderly and the seating is basically just the establishment across from it. The parking is somewhat hard to find when it's a popular time but you'll eventually find parking if you look jaes enough. read more

I just don't see the hype of those tacos de camaron, they don't have much flavor at all unless you add the salsa, and they're burning hot for like 20 minutes.

For the food: They were awarded the 2024 LA Times Gold Award. Well deserved for their famous shrimp tacos. It is delicious and a must-try spot in Los Angeles.
