HOLY SH*T this place is AMAZING. Like freaky good. The seasoning is excellent and addicting. We could not stop eating until everything was gone. I could not recommend this place enough.

But, you know the food is good when you don't need a single sauce on top to make it incredible... they are delicious additions, though! Incredibly, amazing, and will be spending a regrettable amount of money here - you should too!

I immediately understood why so many people rave about this truck. The fish was perfectly fried, the toppings were fresh, and everything came together beautifully. Unfortunately, my second visit was the complete opposite experience. The fish was soft, stale-tasting, and lacked the crispy texture that made the tacos so memorable the first time. If someone had told me the tacos came from a different shop, I would have believed them. It felt like two completely different cooks were working the truck. Since fish and shrimp tacos appear to be their specialty, I really hope they can dial in the consistency. When they're on their game, the tacos are absolutely worth coming back for. I just wish every visit matched the quality of that first experience.

The yellow liquidy sauce also has a kick, but not as much as the 'habanero'. I also appreciate how they have whole jalapenos and pickled onions.

I wanted to just wait in the shade until I got hungry again, then order another 5. Hot, fresh... LIGHTLY battered...

Found this food truck on Yelp while in the area!…read more It's located right next to the liquor store, and while parking is very limited, they have a small outdoor patio area and a big screen where you can eat and watch soccer.While standing in line, we heard the fish tacos are the thing to get, but we opted for the Tostada Loca. They ran out of oysters and octopus, so they substituted them with extra mussels and shrimp instead. I was a bit bummed initially, but the food ended up tasting really good! I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

Half a dozen oysters with shrimp (maybe ceviche/aguachile) and some type of salsa. They come in a nice little bed of ice to keep them cool, they hit the spot on a warm day. I saved the last one towards the end of our meal because I was sad it was coming to an end. Definitely my favorite item of this trip. We also shared a large shrimp cocktail, fish flautas and Clamato. Shrimp cocktail had the perfect seasonings, salty and hint of sweet. Large is good as 1 meal or to share if trying different things. The fish flautas were good, they come with a fried fish inside. Not one of my top items of today but still good to try. The Clamato was so refreshing! Size is big for sharing, great flavor. Everything tasted very fresh which is so important, especially with the oysters. Staff was friendly and super welcoming! $66 for everything was decently priced 2 people sharing. Will definitely be visiting these guys again. *parking & seating - there are high tables and counter to eat on but no chairs. We park at the liquor store since it's a quick trip but there is also street parking.

I'm pretty sure I was the first customer and I ordered the falafel which they were out of. wow. So I settled on the chicken kabob which was supposed to be a plate and it looked more like a side salad for $12. There was nothing special about this kabob and they were telling me it was some sort of authentic recipe authentic or not it was unmemorable.

I ran into this Kebabery at the Helix Brewery and ordered a lamb and beef Döner kebab with a…read moreterrific blend of authentic Turkish spices. I say authentic because the spice mix actually comes all the way from Turkey. The Döner kebab was all about those Turkish flavors. They aggressive in a very good way and packed a touch of heat as well. The heat was subtle but definitely was felt on the palate. As a result, the lamb and beef were very flavorful. The Döner kebab also came with a familiar yogurt sauce or a Tzatziki which not only tasted great but also complimented the Turkish spices and added as a gentle cooling affect. Although the beef and lamb tasted good, I did feel they both could of been a little more tender. The Döner kebab also came with fresh lettuce and red onions. They served it on a toasted flat bread that had great flavor and texture. The gent who runs the Local Kebab is very friendly and passionate about his trade and for good reason too. You can find the Local Kebab at a variety of local breweries so I suggest you check out the L. Kebab's website.

I sat and sipped on my drink while observing orders coming to my friends and the people around me. One of the most prominent things I noticed was how fresh and vibrantly colored everything looked as well as the portion sizes. I knew I had to try it. So I walked up and was greeted by a really nice lady who was ready to answer any questions I had and take my order. The menu is easy to read and has some great choices from salads, to panini's, to wraps and soup. I opted for the chicken Caesar wrap, and let me tell you, it was so fresh, crisp, and flavorful! Packed with chicken, onions, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and croutons. The portion size was HUGE! The wrap had the most wonderful amount of crunch from the lettuce, onions, and croutons, and the dressing was generous but not too powerful. I definitely want to come back to helix brewing almost more for the food truck than the drinks! Bravo!

I gotta have it!

I wanted a real local spot, and I'm so glad we ended up at Carnitas y Mariscos Las Morelianas. We started with the 5 tacos (carne asada and pork), and they were packed with flavor. I always judge a Mexican spot by the meat--it has to be well-seasoned with the right spices--and this place absolutely nailed it. Every bite was juicy, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. The whole vibe just felt right too. The waitresses mostly spoke Spanish, the TVs were playing Spanish channels, and the place was full of locals--you can tell right away it's the real deal. We liked it so much we came back the next day for breakfast. The ceviche was super fresh, and the carne chilaquiles were huge--loaded with rice, guac, cheese, and tons of flavor. Definitely a hearty, satisfying meal. We loved this place and will definitely be coming back.

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.

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.

Instead of oils, sauces, plastic lined baskets they are simply steamed. El Rey's tacos are on the smaller side, compared to street tacos, but with less filling, not overloaded, open with sauces. These are simply made and presented. Semi closed little packets of corn torilla and meat opened up and with lettuce, salsa added I generally eat a half dozen as a snack. Again I still prefer the offerings of tacos de canasta like green sauces, moles, chicharrones, potatoes. These are a regional specialty that most people haven't seen or made before so when comparing it to other types these often don't get a fair shake. These are simple, flavorful little bites that taste a little like moist tamales eaten without a fork, not how when you eat it off a plate and a fork. They offer a few different fillings that are standard as well as some seasonal ones. Get their red sauce.
