    First time trying Mr. Shrimp, and overall it was a great experience. We ordered two empanadas de camarón, a tuna tostada, an al pastor burrito, and two shrimp tacos. Out of everything, our least favorite was the al pastor meat, but all of the seafood dishes were fresh and flavorful. They also have a mini salsa bar with a few select salsas. I really liked that they offered chili oil and rabanos. The food does take a little while to come out, but everything arrived hot and fresh, which made it worth the wait. Parking is available behind the restaurant, although it can be a little tricky to find at first. Overall, a really good spot for seafood, and I'd definitely come back.

    Mr. Shrimp was excellent! The seafood and tacos were both delicious, and everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. The owner was incredibly friendly and even made us a complimentary taco to try, which was amazing. That level of hospitality really stood out and made the experience even better. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend checking it out!

    My husband came in on a Sunday around noon. It's a food truck that makes everything fresh to order but we didn't wait very long for our food. I order carne asada tacos with a fish ceviche tostada, my husband ordered the ahi tuna tostada and an al pastor burrito. Everything was 10/10, although they were out of la llorona and la víctima but it's okay it just means we'll have to comeback to try it! There was plenty of seating and staff were very friendly and kind, that goes a long way with us! There was a tv and music playing, made it a really fun environment.

    The food is high quality and extremely flavorful! It is all fresh and the oysters were so juicy! The service is welcoming and got the order ready quick. Also the ambiance is outdoorsy with straw umbrellas at our tables. I will definitely come here again. Keep in mind it is on the pricy side.

    The restaurant is small, but the thoughtful décor and layout give it a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere. Everything feels clean and well kept. The staff is friendly despite the wait to receive your food items. We ordered a variety of dishes and every single one was packed with flavor. The seafood was fresh, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The highlight of the meal had to be the micheladas! bold, refreshing, and easily some of the best I've had anywhere. Whether you're stopping by for a casual lunch or a fun evening out, this spot delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great seafood, good vibes, and a perfectly crafted michelada!

    Located in San Jose is this hidden food truck with some outside eating area! They also have a nice sauce area with a lot of options for condiments! The only thing is parking is not the best from what I could tell. We got three tacos the vampiro, mar y tierra, and the shrimp taco and all were amazing. It definitely fit our cravings and would definitely come back as everything was delicious! Highly recommend if you are looking for something delicious!

    Food and all salsas on point. My favorite Shrimp, Fried fish tacos, and ceviches in SJ. The owner Cain and staff are all amazing and brings the great vibes! Highly recommend

    Mr. Shrimp is definitely top 3 favorite Mexican spots for me. It's a colorful little food truck walkimg distance from Japantown and the workers there are so friendly and accommodating. I ordered through the phone for pick up while I was walking my dog and ordered pastor, asada, and shrimp taco. My boyfriend got a shrimp burrito. When we got there, the guy gave us an extra mar y Tierra taco (asada and shrimp with cheese and avocado) and that ended up being my favorite! Food here is so fresh and flavorful and huge. My boyfriend's burrito was huge and he loved their Mexican rice. Would 100% recommend to everyone who loves Mexican food and seafood.

    This place is located on a busy street. I didn't know initially, but there are some parking spaces behind the truck and some street parking across. They have lots of tables in their dining area as well as some heated lamps. The area was real toasty. They have a sauce bar in the back with all the fixings you may need. I came with a group of 9 people at night and I'm surprised there weren't more people. It was our first time so our friends who've visited before ordered for us. We ordered two plates of ceviche, 20 shrimp tacos, 8 carne asada tacos, and a carne asada quesadilla. Before I get into the food, it's imperative for everyone to know just how kind the owners and workers are. Their hospitality is unmatched, truly. The stars of the show are the grilled octopus platters and the shrimp tacos. They serve handmade flour tortillas which are so fluffy and delicious. The grilled octopus was so well cooked and I couldn't believe how soft it was. We were able to cut the octopus with a plastic knife! I believe they only serve these on the weekends too. Their shrimp tacos were so flavorful and had a bunch of shrimp inside. Their mariscos overall were so well made.

After a music concert my group was hungry and my best friend suggested this place as it was relatively close to his home. I ordered a Pork belly Quesadilla and a Carne Asada Burrito for my lady and I was insanely surprised. I never seen pork belly offered so I figured I'd give it a try. It wasn't too bad but the carne asada tasted so savory and so different and delicious compared to other places. For the price we paid too I think this place is hard to beat. Definitely a "must-try" place in my opinion.

I got the al pastor tacos, and they were really good. I also liked that they give you grilled onions and lime on the side. We also tried the quesadillas, which were huge and had a really good serving size. We got a strawberry agua fresca and horchata as well, and both were good. Our group of six spent around $80 altogether, which I thought was pretty reasonable considering the portions and the amount of food we got. The food came out quickly too. After we ordered, I'd say it took 10 minutes or less, so we really didn't have to wait long. My only suggestion would be more seating. There were only about two tables when we went, and if other people are already sitting there, it can feel a little awkward having to share a table with people you don't know. I definitely think there's room for improvement there. Overall, for trying this place completely blind, I was really impressed. The tacos were good, the portions were generous, the food came out fast, and the price felt fair for our group. I'd definitely come back!

    I had been hesitant to order from this restaurant in the first place, but decided to give it a…read morechance, and unfortunately every item I received was either inedible or raised significant concerns about sanitation and food handling. I had a very concerning experience with my order and would like to request a full refund if possible. This was my first time ordering from this restaurant, and unfortunately, the entire experience raised serious concerns about food quality, cleanliness, and possible cross-contamination. I ordered a quesadilla, and from the first bite, something seemed seriously wrong. The tortilla and filling had an overwhelming burnt, extremely charcoal-like aftertaste that made the food taste as though it had been prepared on an extremely dirty or poorly maintained cooking surface. This was not simply a matter of the food being slightly overcooked or having a burnt grill taste the taste was unsanitary and unpleasant. The meat was also excessively fatty and of such poor grade quality that I could barely tolerate the texture or taste. I am generally not someone who complains about meat quality, but the combination of the questionable meat and the strong, dirty taste of the cooking surface made the quesadilla completely inedible. Now here's the more upsetting part: I also ordered two carne asada tacos, but instead received three tacos, including one containing what appeared to be pork intestines or another type of miscellaneous meat that I absolutely did not order. I do not eat pork, and the texture of this meat was slimy and the smell of it was extremely unpleasant. More concerningly, the meat appeared to have come into contact with the carne asada tacos as well. I unfortunately did not inspect the order before taking a bite, so I accidentally bit into the taco containing the unidentified meat. I was immediately nauseated and genuinely felt like I was going to vomit. I attempted to eat the carne asada tacos afterward, but I could taste what appeared to be the same miscellaneous meat mixed into them. I noticed that the tortillas themselves had the same strong burnt, charcoal-like flavor as the quesadilla, which further contributed to my concerns about the cleanliness and condition of the cooking surface. Because the unidentified meat appeared to have contaminated or mixed with the food I actually ordered, I ultimately could not eat any of the tacos. The horchata was another major concern. It had an unusually unpleasant taste that I have never experienced from horchata before. It tasted stale and potentially contaminated, almost as though something unsanitary had come into contact with it. I cannot say exactly what caused the taste, but it was sufficiently abnormal that I did not feel comfortable drinking it. Ultimately, I ate only approximately one bite of the quesadilla and a single bite of each type of taco before throwing the food away. Shortly afterward, my stomach was already growling and I felt extremely uncomfortable. This was not simply a matter of the food not matching my personal taste. I am concerned about the apparent lack of cleanliness, the burnt/dirty taste throughout the food, the unidentified meat being included in an order where it was not requested, and the apparent cross-contact between that meat and the carne asada I ordered. I would strongly encourage the restaurant to review its food-preparation, cooking-surface sanitation, ingredient handling, and order-assembly procedures. I am pretty upset that I ate something I didn't order and have no idea what it is. Given that I was unable to safely or reasonably consume essentially any of my order, I would appreciate a full refund.

I finally decided to give it a try after hearing about the restaurant from food reviewer Dave fiore text. As someone who absolutely loves tacos and is always on the hunt for great local taco spots, I was excited to see how this place compared to some of my favorites. I ordered four different tacos, and overall, they were pretty good. They weren't bad by any means, but they also didn't quite blow me away. The meat was cooked well, the tortillas were fresh, and the tacos had good flavor. The salsa was decent too, although I personally prefer something with a little more kick. Everyone has different tastes, so this is just my opinion. One thing I really appreciated was how clean and organized the restaurant was. You can tell they take pride in keeping the dining area nice and welcoming. The staff was friendly, and my food came out quickly. It's always a good sign when a restaurant pays attention to both cleanliness and customer service. I've eaten at a lot of taco places throughout the Bay Area, so I naturally compare every new place to some of my favorites. While El Halal Mexican Restaurant didn't make the top of my list, I still had a good experience and I'm glad I finally gave it a shot. Not every restaurant has to be your favorite to be worth visiting. I also like supporting family-owned businesses because I know how much hard work goes into running a local restaurant. They deserve credit for creating a clean, welcoming place and serving quality food. Will I come back? Maybe. If I do, I'd probably try something different on the menu instead of the tacos. Sometimes a restaurant's best dish isn't the first thing you order, and I'd be interested in seeing what else they have to offer. Overall, I'd give El Halal Mexican Restaurant a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It was a good experience, I'm happy I finally got to try it, and if you're in the Willow Glen area, it's worth stopping by and deciding for yourself.
