The hype for this place is absolutely real! It's easy to see why they earned Bib Gourmand recognition, everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. I ordered the ceviche tostadas and the shrimp tacos, and surprisingly, the ceviche tostadas were my favorite. The tacos stayed crunchy even with the salsa on top, and every bite tasted super fresh. Next time I'll definitely follow the online recommendations and ask for the salsa on the side, but honestly, everything was delicious regardless! read more

Mariscos Jalisco is a legendary spot, but the experience depends a lot on what you order. The wait at this location isn't too bad, though the wind can make eating outside a bit of a struggle with napkins and plates flying around. The shrimp ceviche is fresh, but the texture of uncooked shrimp isn't for everyone. On the other hand, the shrimp taco is the real star here. It's crispy, flavorful, and lives up to the reputation this place has built over the years. I definitely want to try the botana next time. It's a cooked shrimp ceviche plate and at 40 dollars, it's a bigger investment, but it's a signature dish that many people swear by. read more

Have heard so many good things about this taco truck and finally today was the day we made our way here! They're very busy throughout the whole time we were there. It's Saturday lunch time so prolly indeed peak hour as well. Few seats by the curbside and almost always fully occupied with new coming guests replacing prior ones. Nothing fancy with the dining space, but that's how you know it's good when it successfully drew the crowd. Worry not, ordering process and waiting time were both relatively easy and quick. They had plenty of menu but they're very helpful in explaining. We got their Mixta Tostada, Shrimp Tacos, and Ceviche Tostada. For first timer I'd say try the mixta as it enabled you trying all their shrimp, octopus, and fish! Toppings were all abundantly served and so so tasty and fresh. You could certainly tell how great was the seafood quality! Their signature shrimp tacos were the crowd's favorite, which was more saucy with cooked stuffing. read more

This has been my go-to seafood taco truck because of how amazingly yummy their crispy shrimp tacos are! Chef's kiss! The flavor = perfection. Their specialty habanero sauce = firee! The portion = 5 stars! Why I gave it a 4 today... they changed the ingredients of the crispy shrimp tacos.. noooo! It tasted like seafood stuffing, as if they were skimping out on the original seafood ingredients and adding more filler ingredients. I'm not sure when they changed it up but I was pretty bummed about it. Not a huge fan with the flavor now but despite all that, don't let that deter you from trying this place! Give it a shot. You'll probably love it. Support your small businesses! read more

Mariscos Jalisco what a delicious place! First visited their Boyle Heights years ago and that's when I first fell in love. The tacos de camarón/shrimp tacos are so good! And, what makes them even more delicious is the sauce they put on top of them. Squeeze a bit of lemon maybe some salsa and you are golden. Also had their campechana which is a cocktail with a mix of fish : octopus, fish, shrimp. 3 is plenty, 4 if you are totally hungry. The service at this location was fast when we visited on an early Sunday morning. It is a food truck so you eat standing, or on the few tables/chairs they have or you must order to go. Overall great friendly service and even better food! read more

Came to Mariscos Jalisco around 1pm on a Saturday during a weekend visit with friends in Culver. It's one of their go-to spots, and I can see why! The tacos de camaron are SO crispy and flavorful, just the right amount of spice. Friends said that they also package part separately for to-go orders to preserve crispness. There were 3-4 small tables and street parking when we arrived. The staff are fast, and you can tell it's beloved by locals. Wish we had a place like Mariscos Jalisco in my neighborhood! read more

I need to remember to come here more often. Had amazingly delicious shrimp ceviche. I ask the person working the order window if that will be enough, and she says no. So, I order two and I was expecting I might pay an arm and a leg now for those two orders because I don't see the price listed. Nope! It's about 7.50 per ceviche and two are more than enough food (one wouldn't have been though). The people working there are always so nice, the food is made fresh and quickly, and the quality is why this group of trucks have their own Michelin status. Choosing it for lunch is always a win. No regrets. read more

Excellent as always. My undisputed favorite taco in Los Angeles. Get the tacos with a side of aguachile to dip or pour on top. This location is great because they take cards and parking is usually pretty easy. read more

One of LA's best taco trucks - Marisco's shrimp tacos are sooo delicious. It's a fried shrimp taco dressed in a spicy salsa and avocado ; the tostada shell is crispy and crunchy!

Yummy shrimp tacos!! I went 2 days in a row. I love the fact they are crispy and they give you avocado and salsa to go with it.

Been here a couple times now and it's always been great. Love the crispy shrimp tacos and ceviche. Super fresh tasting and good sized portions. Usually there's plenty of street parking behind the truck. There's a few tables for you to eat on the sidewalk. No shade but it's manageable. read more

Fresh , tasty and friendly service. It's been there for four years but today was my first time at this location. I'd only been to the original location prior. What a treat! read more

fire. fried shrimp tacos, meaty and juicy and cooked perfectly. seasoned a little sweet and salty, steaming hot when you bite into it you might need to take a second before you devour it!! both to go and for here the quality did not change. for here, the salsa is poured on top, same with the avocado in slices. a bite of freshness with the oil from the shrimp taco. to go was done with the salsa in a huge ahh cup and half an avocado with the PIT AS IT SHOULD BE!!! imo i think i preferred it to go even though it was messier because you get a little more avocado. it's a taco truck with some seats on the side but you KNOW that if they got some tables and chairs, no matter how humble, IT WILL BE BOMB. especially if there's people eating there near closing. i love the street vibes. amazing, might go back and try some more items. read more

This is one of the best shrimp tacos I've had! There's several food trucks and the one I went to had a few tables out front. I came in early, and I would say with a few people ahead of me, it took me approximately 10 mins to get in line to receiving my food read more

Don't be fooled by the street and the surrounding area. I was hesitant the first time but let me tell you those shrimp tacos are absolutely worth it. I think they chop up the shrimp, Mix it with other ingredients and then deep fry the entire taco. It is served with a really fresh salsa, some avocado and it's absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend getting at least two per person (shh I could eat four!) The Ceviche is delicious as well however I had the mixed seafood one and it was extremely fishy. I did not enjoy it, but have since gotten the shrimp only ceviche and found i fresh and flavorful. A squeeze of lime and drizzle of the orange house made sauce and you're good to go. I'm sure some of the other items are fantastic too, but I can't handle too much spice so I tend to stick with the shrimps ceviche tostada and the shrimp tacos. Grab a Mexican Coke while you're at it to really add to the experience. The service is fast and easy and they accept Apple Pay which is a plus :)) Just park along the street but keep an eye on the parking restrictions. The ambience is simple. It's a classic LA food truck on the side of a busy road and there are litt plastic stools and a couple tables. It's fun it's casual. It's tasty. read more

Mariscos Jalisco is worth the trip. The tacos and the raw oysters topped with shrimp ("oysters peinados") here were some of the best I ever had, and the affordable prices make them even better. I was very lucky and got the last order of raw oysters topped with shrimp that were available--it was a Saturday, mid-afternoon--so definitely keep that in mind in case you are wanting this specifically, though I am not sure if they regularly sell-out. The ordering line moves quickly, and the food wait was ~10 minutes when I was there. Seating with tables is a bit limited, but they have plenty of stools around. Plus, a lot of people simply bring their food back to their cars too. Mariscos Jalisco is definitely one of the best seafood meals you will ever have in LA, and quite possibly, the world! read more

Was working in the east LA area one time when my coworker told me about the food truck out there, 10/10. Was working in the mid city area when I noticed this food truck with the same name. Pulled up and I was informed it's the same owner. One of the best Mariscos food truck in LA. Everything on the menu is good. read more

SO YUMMY! The portions are perfect and the seafood is fresh and delicious. I had their fried shrimp tacos and tacos triton today and they were so delicious! Super satisfying meal. Will be back :) read more

The hype is real. We tried their crispy shrimp taco and it was legit. The tacos come with a sauce but I highly suggest you add their salsa on top, it kicks it up a notch. We plan to go back soon to check out their ceviche. We found their truck parked on La cienega and parking was plentiful. They have a few tables & chairs so you can eat the tacos fresh which I highly suggest. I did notice several people drop by and take their food to go. I look forward to coming back soon. read more

One of my absolute favorite foods on this earth. No joke. My usual order? Four shrimp tacos. I tried everything before but I ended up ordering just shrimp tacos. They're nothing short of magical. Perfectly crispy on the outside, packed with juicy, flavorful shrimp on the inside. I honestly can't tell you everything that's in them besides shrimp, but whatever it is, it just works. It's always windy and there is no shade. The plastic table and chairs are not comfortable but it doesn't matter. The food is so amazing. read more

TACOS DE CAMARON FOR DA WIN! My first exposure to Mariscos Jalisco was watching the Netflix show, "Ugly Delicious" Season 1, "Tacos" episode. The point man for the show, David Chang, starts the show off by straight hatin' on tacos, saying he'd rather have a burrito or torta than a taco. But then he samples un Taco de CAMARON from Mariscos Jalisco and goes completely 180 on us! After demolishing his first taco while his friends (including Jonathan Gold, RIP) are still enjoying theirs, he proclaims, "That is TREMENDOUS!... I want to order another one right away!" LOL I'm completely convinced and NOW I wanna try this spot!! This location (there are multiple trucks in the LA region) is the closest to Oxnard, on the way to LAX, and basically only open for lunch. Luckily we are in the area at the right time so of course we are gonna sample the offerings here! The main difference between the Boyle Heights truck site and this one in Mid-City Los Angeles is the indoor seating. None here, but fortunately they have set up a few small tables along the building wall to enjoy the food promptly with the truck acting as a sound barrier to the passing traffic. Our table was in need of a wipe down so Wifey busted out with sanitizer wipes and just like that,we ready! Ok, let's EAT!! TACOS DE CAMARON: Having sampled both the "para llevar" and "para aqui" options, MOST DEFINITELY "para aqui" is the way to go, 100%! Especially the first timers!! The way the mariscos maestros prep the hard shell tacos with the aguacate and salsa layer is just the perfect balance that I can not seem to mimic when I do it myself! DOH! The shells are fried to a golden crisp consistency with the Shrimp concoction already inside. This concoction IS YUMMY by itself but it is the aguacate and salsa that take this simple taco to an "S TIER"rank! PERFECTO! Crunchy and flavorful with every delicious bite! Can't eat just one for sure ;) VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Nom Nom Level is HIGH! What I've noticed is all their food trucks and Brick & Mortar spot are very consistent with food quality! This Mid-City spot holds true to what the OG Truck in Boyle Heights created. Worth all the hype! Another gem to sample in the City of Angels! Peace! read more

The shrimp tacos are out of this world, unique and amazing. The street parking here is more convenient than at the Boyle Heights location but because there are only stools and no tables it can be more challenging to balance a big order. Service is friendly and fast. While all of the items are fresh and delicious, along with the shrimp tacos the Poseidon is the special item that you'd bring your friends to try. Just be sure to order a soda, it's crazy spicy for anyone doesn't have a high heat tolerance! read more

Looks can be deceiving and this taco stand stand is no joke. Their shrimp tacos are not your typical deep fried fish but more so chopped and fried whole with tortilla which is honestly really good. Little hard to pick apart since everything is filled together but overall flavor is amazing. Shrimp ceviche did not have that fishy smell as it flavorful and delicious with that hit of lime. Only downside is the wait. Good lord 40 mins for 2 fish tacos and a small ceviche? Be prepared to wait as it does take a while 4.5/5 read more

Great but I can't have this super oily fried food anymore. So sad. It's pretty unhealthy but it's delicious. Enjoy while you can! This is a food truck that leaves at 4pm. I arrived at 3:55 and they let me order my tacos and pay by cash, and took it to go. Try it if you haven't but beware that it's not the healthiest choice if that's a concern for you. read more

We finally tried Mariscos Jaliscos for lunch on a Saturday after bookmarking the place over a year ago and it was worth the hype! We ordered six crispy shrimp tacos and a 12oz fish ceviche to go. They were so generous with the portions! We got a huge cup of salsa and three halves of avocado to go with everything. The shrimp tacos were piping hot and stuffed with fillings. The ceviche was refreshing with a citrusy flavor and large chunks of fish - we definitely did not need to add any more lime juice into the ceviche. There are a few small tables and some stools in front of the food truck. Service was pretty quick. I left extremely satisfied and full from the meal, I would definitely come back to try some other offerings! read more

I don't love this location. It's off the side of a large and busy street and parking and crossing are equally scary. That said, those shrimp tacos are worth braving the traffic. I love the crunch of the hard shell, and I love the experience of eating it next to a total stranger with my plate perched on the ledge that runs along the outside of the truck. The tortilla is fried hard and strong, so strong you lose the more delicate bread-and-shrimp stuffing inside, but then there's a great contrast of textures with gooey avocado on top and a watery tomato sauce all around. The Fish Ceviche is a cold contrast to the intensity of those tacos. It's not perfect but there's something unforgettable about this experience. The tacos are delightful and I'd absolutely come back for more. read more

Heard amazing things about Mariscos Jaliscos and it lived up to the hype. Everything we ate was fresh and delicious, but I have to say that the shrimp tacos blew everything (and most Mexican food I've ever had) out of the water. They are perfectly savory, crispy, and delicious. The service was friendly and quick, with our dishes ready in about 5-10 minutes. We sat at small tables on the sidewalk -- thank you for providing these! -- and enjoyed a quick meal. The mix of down to earth, friendly vibes with absolutely incredible food makes this a stand out to me in a city of fantastic tacos and mariscos. read more

Accidently found this location and it was delicious. I was on lunch when I ran into this random food truck. I usually avoid food trucks but dayum this food is so fresh and looks like they are clean handling the food. Highly recommend the aguachile tostada. read more

Fresh seafood always hits the spot. We have really enjoyed every plate they serve. They're also very attentive and provide a good service.

If you love seafood tacos, you need to try Mariscos Jalisco! All of the dishes are loaded with seafood (shrimp, octopus, etc) and are delicious. The peinados (oysters) are a must on the weekend. Each one is topped with either a piece of octopus or a shrimp with tomato and onions. We've been here multiple times and they always are so fresh. There are small tables and stools to eat at and usually a good amount of parking along La Cienega. Service is quick and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Honestly one of the best places to get Mexican seafood. Shrimp tacos are a must. I love that they give avocado free of charge on the side for you to add into your food. My girlfriend really loves the ceviche too. They are located across from Target but there's usually plenty of street parking. We usually call ahead and pick up and it's efficient most of the time. They also have a sit down space in Pomona for folks who don't want to come all the way out to the west side. read more

My husband and I went to go get tacos on Sunday afternoon, we heard raving reviews from my friends about Mariscos Jaliscos so I want to go try it out since it's right down the street from where we live. We got 5 shrimp tacos, 1 aguachiles, and 1 fish ceviche, all of this totaled $25. I read the reviews that people had ordered fish tacos which I was hoping to get but when we went they did not have this on the menu... I wonder if they took this off? Not a fan of shrimp personally, but my husband ordered shrimp tacos and really really enjoyed it! He said that he would go back in because they were the best shrimp tacos he's ever had. Ceviche was very fresh but nothing special compared to others I've had before. 4 stars because the ceviche and aguachile were just okay, but shrimp tacos were amazing/outstanding and would return juuust for these goodies! read more

Best fried shrimp tacos anywhere! I've tried several menu items from Mariscos Jaliscos but the shrimp tacos are by far the best! They come with a red salsa, and avocados and are a bit messy to eat with everything stacked upon each other but all the flavors go so perfectly together. I do like the Boyle heights location a bit better, I find the taste of the tacos more consistent but it's nice that this location takes card and not just cash! read more
