Hidden gem!!! This place is easy to drive past since it's tucked between two plazas. We actually missed it at first and had to park in the next lot. There was plenty of parking once we found it. It's a bright blue food truck serving up fresh Mexican seafood and tacos, with a shaded tent area for seating. Each table has salsas and condiments which I loved. The workers here are amazing. Super friendly and welcoming. We ordered two tacos, cabeza and adobada, along with the aguachile verde tostada. This surprisingly was enough for two people. While waiting, we grabbed some salsas. They keep them on ice so they stay fresh and cold which was such a nice touch. They told us we could bring the whole bottle to the table, but we just used small cups. My favorite was the orange creamy salsa. It had a slight chipotle flavor but was pretty mild and perfect with the chips. They also gave us complimentary soup while we waited which was a nice surprise. Both tacos were incredible. The tortillas were warm and held a generous amount of meat. The cabeza was super tender, flavorful, and nicely salted. The adobada was juicy with a smoky, slightly spicy flavor. At $3.50 each, they felt very worth it. The real standout was the aguachile verde tostada. It had raw shrimp in a bright, spicy green sauce with thin sliced red onions. Every bite was fresh, citrusy, and packed with flavor. By the end, the tostada soaked up all the sauce which made it messy in the best way. If you're into that slightly soggy tostada texture, it honestly adds to the experience. We couldn't stop thinking about this place the whole drive home. Definitely coming back! read more

This spot was highly rated on the tops for fish tacos in San Diego Yelp and we went to go check it out. The service was quick made to order and they give you consomé (broth) with your fish tacos. Recommend the fish, shrimp and gobernador tacos they were all good! And it was a casual ambiance with tables and chairs right next to the taco truck. The fish and shrimp was crispy and not too much of the breading which we all liked. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

Located in the heart of little Saigon next to Paris Bakery and Minh Ky, Mariscos La Morena has their own parking and seating area. Plus, they even let you order ahead! I ordered two fish tacos for $7, which included a soup. I was still hungry so I ordered an adobada mini taco. All was really good especially the mini adobada taco. It was so good!!! I will definitely be back to try other things on their menu! Great service and a chill place to hang out after work. Price: $ Parking: They have their own parking lot Recommendation: Adobada tacos! I would also order in person so the food is fresh. read more

Tacos were so good that we ordered another round after finishing our initial ones lol. We had only ordered two. Kids loved the tacos as the tortilla was small but had alot of meat!

Mariscos La Morena is one of those spots where you want one of everything--and honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My go-tos are the cóctel de camarón and the fish tacos--I rotate between them depending on my mood, but both are consistently fresh, flavorful, and totally satisfying. And let me warn you: don't even tempt me with their birria. It's rich, juicy, and ridiculously good. You'll end up craving it at random hours. The staff is super friendly, always welcoming, and they really take care of you. There's plenty of seating around the food truck, which makes it perfect for hanging out. And the best part? They offer consommé while you wait--a warm, savory little gift that makes the whole experience even better. If you haven't been yet, go. If you have, then you already know. read more

Tried Mariscos La Morena for the first time, and it was a great experience! This food truck has its own dedicated space with a covered patio, seating, and even a portable restroom on site, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal. The service was excellent--the lady who took my order was super helpful, offering great recommendations. I went with the fish taco and quesabirria with consome, and both were delicious. The fish was fresh and flavorful, while the birria had just the right balance of tenderness and seasoning. One of the best parts? The self serve salsa and sauce station outside, so there's no need to keep asking for extras. Definitely looking forward to trying more from their menu next time I'm in the area! read more

I've had many a tasty taco, but these are in the top three! The fish was fresh, well-seasoned, and fried to the perfect doneness. The cabeza was bold, tasty, and just the right texture. Not dry or salty at all! The owner was very nice and gave me a cup of seafood consommé while I waited for my order. One of the best seafood soups I've tasted. I'll definitely be back to try more things! read more

We were in town from Oregon and wanted fish tacos. Saw the great reviews and wanted to give a try. Fish tacos, spicy shrimp tacos, and the asada were incredible, some of the best I've ever had. Add a little or as much as you want of the homemade sauces and this was an experience to be remembered. Only in town for a couple days, but planning to come back tomorrow. Classic, beautiful hole in the wall. Guy Fieri needs to pay a visit! The owner has run this food truck for over 11 years, so clearly they are doing something (or everything) right! read more

Treat yourself to some delicious fish or shrimp tacos! We stopped here on a whim for something quick but we were offered some free fish soup which was absolutely mind blowing tasty and delicious so we had to sit down. I ordered some quesabirria tacos for the kiddos and baby daddy got an adobada burrito. We washed it all down with a refreshing Jamaica which was also delicious! They were so nice and accommodating, wish we lived closer because we'd make this place a weekly visit! read more

This food truck is definitely a hidden gem. I had found out about this place through a Reddit post of someone who did a fish taco tasting all through San Diego. This place was in their top 10 and I just happened to be in the area. Their fish tacos are phenomenal and so very affordable. 2.75 fish tacos is rare to come by. Their shrimp tacos were spilling over with shrimp. They have a small dining area with pop up chairs and tables under a little tent next to their food truck. The food comes out fairly quickly and incredibly fresh and they even provide you with a free seafood strew while you wait. While this place is out of the way for me, I will make the time to come back here because this place really hits the spot! read more

My favorite place for cheap fish tacos in San Diego! Don't be fooled by the location. Just trust me.

Reasonably priced, delicious tacos with lots of salsa selections to choose from. Optional fresh limes and onions are added bonus. Parking, shaded seating and a porta potty available. Very nice and friendly staff. Fish tacos were the best! Birria quesatacos juicy and delicious. I'd try different mini tacos next time. Will be back with my family.

Mariscos La Morena - Fish tacos & shrimp taco - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

I think it's fair to say this food truck serves the best tacos in all of El Cajon, which is a pretty bold statement! Their fish tacos are amazing, full of flavor, and they manage to keep the fried fish crunchy, which is a big achievement. Some of the most affordable food in San Diego as well. Even though it is a food truck, they have a seating area under a tent, complete with water dispenser, chairs, tables, and a sauce bar. I came here intending to do take out, but ended up staying and eating in their dining area. Their service is fantastic. The person taking my order was so patient as I stood there dumbfounded at the prices and food variety, and then while I was waiting they served me a free soup appetizer and gave me a free drink - I skipped lunch that day and I think they could tell I needed it! read more

Their fish tacos are amazing! My favorite food truck hands down. Their surf and turf taco is massive and sooooo good. I get full just looking at it. The lady at the register is super sweet and always accommodates my requests for no onion (going as far as making fresh pico without it). Their prices are beyond fair for the quality of the food. You have to support his small business if you're in the El Cajon Blvd area and craving fish tacos. Their birria is just okay but also not their specialty. Stick to the mariscos. :) read more

My husband and I were in San Fuego again and couldn't wait to hit the fish taco truck. These tacos are the best. Perfectly grilled fish, cabbage, great sauce and extras. Plus their complimentary soup (while you wait) is also delicious. These tacos are consistently delicious and are a real bargain! read more

Really Good birria and tacos. The salsa is good too and tortillas, will go again for sure.

Mariscos La Morena - Fish tacos extra sour cream please !! - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

You would be hard pressed to find a better fish taco in San Diego. Everything here is good. Love the pickled onions.

Finally I found a place with a good tostada loca. My husband and I ordered two. The seafood tasted fresh and had a perfect balance of flavors. I have found that most seafood spots the seafood is bland. But not theirs. The service was also great since they also offer the traditional consome that you are normally offered at most seafood trucks. Then when our food was ready, we were told that we were going to get more tostadas. One thing I did not expect, was for them to bring us a warm bag filled with freshly made tostadas. I can't believe I actually enjoyed my food so much like I did today. For a small seafood truck with a small menu, they do seem to have amazing food here. Right at the middle of eating, I noticed a family who was sitting next to us. I just couldn't help but look at their orders. They had crispy Birria tacos in front of them that looked so good. I personally don't eat beef all the time, but I couldn't help but wonder if they were good because they look so crunchy and delicious. I think I might have to come back and try a taco or two sometime. Overall, I can really tell there is a sense of pride here. From great food to great customer service. From my recent experience, I highly do recommend trying this spot. read more

Best fish taco in town, and even better than TJ. I come here once a week, this place never fails to let me down. The fish is so fresh, crunch and crispy. The house made chipotle mayo cream sauce is out of this word. I always ask for extra and he hooks it up. They make this one spicy sauce that can blow yours ears off, but adding a couple drops hits the spot. Oh and the prices are outrageously cheep. $2 for a giant fish taco that can practically be a burrito. It's a little family owned taco truck that also has freshly made on the spot ceviche. I think this place is way to unrated which might be due to the location, but once you find it you will surely make it a weekly routine. They do close a bit early (I.e 7:30). I always call in my order and inhale about 3-5 tacos depending on my mood. Sometimes I eat more even when I'm about to explode because that is how good they are. Oh, and while you wait for your order, the sweet man always offers a free complementary fish soup. When he ask if you want one ALWAYS SAY YES!!! Squeeze a bit of lemon or lime too! So yummy on a chilly afternoon. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

Love how the workers are having a blast in the food truck while taking orders. I firmly believe that a happy work environment leads to a happy customer and belly. S/o to the taquero outside the truck grilling. Super warm and hospitable as he reminded me of the delicious salsas and condiments they recommend for our tacos. read more

One of the best fish tacos in SD. It's lowkey a hole in the wall food truck but 10/10 definitely recommend. I'm also a huge sauce guy and their orange-ish sauce is really good. Their red suace is also good but it's really spicy. Ya boy looked like he just came out of a workout with how much I was sweating. Worth the pain though. Their portion size was solid and they give you free consomé, which was also really good too. A good friend of mine told me that you can tell if the food truck will be good based on their consomé and he was right. The owner was really friendly too which is a plus. I'm surprised they haven't blown up with how good their food and service is. Definitely one of the best food trucks and fish tacos in SD. read more

Mariscos La Morena - Two birria tacos, tacos de camaron, mar y Tierra and shrimp cocktail - Food Trucks Near Me - San Diego, California

Si, muy muy bueno is what I have to say about this food truck. Mariscos La Moreno specializes in seafood, but oddly enough I had beef and pork, not that there's anything wrong with that. Specifically, I had two beef birria tacos and two adobada tacos with added avocado slices onto the adobada tacos at an extra $1 charge. The mini tacos were only $1.50. First, the birria minis. These were terrific not only because they came well stuffed with tender juicy beef, but they flavor of the birria broth was delicioso. The added chopped white onions and cilantro added nice flavor and texture to each taco. The adobada taco was quite good as well. The tender pork morsels tasty. Although I did feel that the adobo marinade needed to be better developed for a more prominent flavor. The addition of the avocado slices with these tacos went very well. I loved that they double wrapped each taco with corn tortillas and that they, with regards to the birria tacos, dipped them in the birria broth upon warming. Thank you for following tradition. Good stuff. Next time I will try to eat some seafood. read more

Bommmmbbb mariscos truck. Tacos, tostadas, clamatos ALL 10/10 everything is always prepared fresh and very well done.

Excellent fish tacos at a fair price... trucks are really charging more these days... Im so old I remember getting them for under a $1... but a neat little parking lot with plenty of parking and seating... they also have lots of options for meats and birria which I am looking forward to trying one day... would only recommend they get some of their own authentic hot sauces going, and maybe some sides for the tacos themselves... that is always a plus when visiting taco trucks and they dont hit here at all... food is quality though otherwise... I would def give it a try if you haven't yet read more

When I get Mariscos food trucks, I only get one thing: FISH TACOOOOS! At only $1.75 each, you really can't go wrong. They're always large in size, and filled with just enough amount of crispy fried fish and veggies. I always order three for myself, when in reality, just two is enough to get me full. And their hot sauces and white sauce are always delicious. And their spicy onions on the side. Plus their complimentary soup they always offer while you wait! read more
