Really insanely tasty and decadent seafood tacos, hard to believe it's from a food truck. I just tried their Crab Taco and it's my favorite item now. Very generous with the crab and huge succulent shrimp. Super cheesy too. I'm actually glad it's not also vampiro style. Whatever you order, be ready for the cheese, because they are super loaded, and luckily I love both cheese and seafood. For the quality and generosity you get, these are well worth the price (Crab - $10, Vampiro - $8), and I was quite full after these two. Very fast service too, even during busy afternoons. read more

I will start off by saying they had excellent customer service. I ordered a chopped cheese ($20) and cheesesteak ($22). They do have steak and shrimp but i felt that was a little overpriced. They were not loaded up as much as they could be. The cheesesteak was flavorful better than the original chopped cheese. Honestly you could probably make these items yourself at home for a fraction of the price. I would not go out of my way to eat at this good truck read more

Hit the food truck at the San Jose Cinco de Mayo car show. Super fast and hot. Excellent presentation and absolutely delicious. I could eat these seven days a week. Tortilla had cheese grilled on it. Yum. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. The chorizo mixed with shrimp cilantro and onions was just out of this world. Service was friendly, fast and pleasant. The food truck was clean and look nice. read more

Finally got to try Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy after seeing it all over my feed! I was craving something cheesy so I went for the Super Chicken Quesadilla and it definitely satisfied all my cravings. Silly enough to say, I'm not a huge seafood person or a fan of shrimp but my quesadilla was loaded with shrimp and I enjoyed it. They definitely gave a generous amount of both well seasoned shrimp and chicken. In every bite, the cheese was just oozing out and I got the best of both worlds. I loved the melty cheese pull. The sauces were delicious and well paired with the quesadilla as well. The portion was huge and well worth the price. There was a long line since this food truck is quite popular but service is quick and efficient. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes and came out piping hot. Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy lives up to the hype and this food truck is a must try! read more

I first found out about Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy through the weekly summer night markets at Gordon Biersch Brewery, where they serve from their food truck. We tried their Chop Cheese and Cheese Steak, both of which are incredibly juicy, flavorful, and filling. Even a few shrimp skeptics in the group we went with loved both of these, since the shrimp was fresh and seasoned well. Orders come out piping hot and relatively quickly (10-20 minutes) even though there are always long lines for their truck. Note that one order of either the Chop Cheese or Cheese Steak is enough for 2 people to share. Both of these orders were sliced in half for more convenient sharing as well. read more

Just pull up, you won't be disappointed !! I was really excited to try the ramen after seeing one of their instagram videos. Since they didn't have it this time around we decided to order three different things from the menu to try anyway. The vampiro (taco) is phenomenal. Flavorful and fresh. The burger was great too, a bit much for me but still delicious. Chef is generous with size portions for the price. The individual who took our order was nice & chill. I really enjoy stumbling across places like this. I can't wait to share with friends. It's was bomb. read more

Tried this at the sharks game on Saturday night. We ordered the big papi and a soft drink. Took a while for the order to be ready but was worth the wait. Really good seasoning, sauce and the shrimps were also great. With the cheese and the bacon easily enough for two to share. Would definitely also give the food truck a try. read more

Freaking adore these dudes. So friendly, courteous and chil AF! Love that they do pop up locations and tell you way in advance via spcial media. You get all the flavor in anything you order, that is definitely not a category they're lacking in. Vampire tacos per usual, ordered their chopped cheese (which is massive, but you can also bring your own fries), their hotboy was good, too, and their himbatchi plate was good too! The combo with shrimp, chorizo, meats is smackin! I do wish you can just order the shrimp for protein if anything, that was fire! read more

Grabbed dinner at this food truck during Berryessa Night Market's "Say Cheese! Street Feast" this past Friday. About 8-10 food vendors selling creative, melty gooey menu items, including birria grilled cheese and cheesy loaded baked potatoes. Got the chopped cheese sandwich from Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy, a delicious sub filled with a mix of plump and juicy shrimp, crumbled beef patty, veggies, yummy seasoning, and lots of stretchy cheesy goodness. Truly a unique and tasty concoction, so massive it has to be served wrapped in foil, then placed inside a food container. I was definitely impressed and satisfied with the chopped cheese, the most expensive item on this food truck's menu. Yet it's the crabby taco they sold out of less than 2 hours into the event... I see that as a good sign, multiple popular dishes, gotta try that next time. Also, efficient service, hardly any waits, and plenty of seating at Garden at the Flea. It was an awesome cheese fest, with live music entertainment and a carefree atmosphere. But this food truck alone was worth the trip out. read more

The food from this Chef is so good. He does not skimp on the fillings and sauces. It may be a little on the pricey side, but it's not bad considering what you get. I can totally get behind paying higher prices when the Chef can deliver, and they are generous like these guys are. Every item we have tried has been a huge portion and delicious. The Hotboy is huge and tasty. Cream cheese with a hot dog? I never knew I needed this in my life. It was creamy and saucy, and the savory hot dog with the slightly sweet sauce that's on the side just balances all of the flavors out. The Shrimpadilla is huge as well. It is packed full of cheese, chorizo, and shrimp. The seasoning on the shrimp makes them so flavorful. I could just eat a bowl of the shrimp with the way he makes them and be happy. This also pairs well with the slightly sweet and spicy sauce. We have ordered from here 3 times now and not one item has been disappointing. This is definitely worth trying. read more

Delicious!!! This place is amazing food across the board and excellent service! Highly recommend!

Thank God for food trucks. At my job we usually have different food trucks on Tuesdays and Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy pulled up today. Let me tell you something, everything was great from the staff to the food to the wait time. Ordered the Vampiro taco with chorizo and cheese and that was a fantastic starter. Perfect crunch, the chorizo had my mouth watering and the shrimp was great. That was just a little appetizer before I dived into the Chopped Cheese Burrito. Awwwww man this thing was THICCC!!! I could only eat half and had to save the rest for later. Absolutely DELICIOUS Burrito, one of the best I've ever had. I can't wait to try some more items on my next visit. Thank you guys for coming to the campus read more

We went to a pop up off of Tully Road in San Jose. We ordered the three Vampiro tacos for our drive back to Monterey. The tacos were large, crunchy and stuffed with flavorful chorizo, massive shrimp, pickled onions, light cheese, cilantro and a beautifully spicy salsa on the side! Every bite was delicious and everything you can ask for in a shrimp taco. We were very satisfied and happy we came. Next time we hope to try their other dishes. Gian, the owner, is awesome and clearly has a pulse on Bay Area food tastes and flavor. I heard they were also featured on Check Please! That's quite a feat and speaks for itself. Can't wait to seek them out at their next pop up event! read more

Finally getting around to do this review on one of my favorite food trucks here in my hometown. The owner of Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy is an East San Jose native, which is where he's located. Coming from someone that's from the same neighborhood, it's always a special feeling seeing somebody that grew up close to home thrive. It's a Bay Area trait to have some hustle, but it's a true San Jose thing to give back and pay tribute to your community. I've seen the truck posted at the Mt. Pleasant Shopping Center and Hillview Park. The owner does lil pop ups around town for social events at times, as well. He's the one that's taken my orders the times I've gone and is a chill dude. It takes a minute for the food to be prepared, but it's usually just him and one other person that helps make the food and takes orders so just be patient. The food is worth it. He's known for his shrimp and chorizo taco, which I actually never had yet, but I did try the vampiro tacos (which I remember being full off of and hella good) and also the chopped cheese. I never had chopped cheese before until trying it from here and let me just say, chopped cheese with shrimp??... As someone who loves shrimp, this was a game changer. A great component to the chopped cheese. Plus his orange sauce just made everything on point. I never been to New York before and always heard about their chopped cheese, so it's a win to have something close to home whenever I'm craving that. read more

(4.5 out of 5) This place is very good, the service is average, not bad by any means. Ambiance is just where they are. Personally getting food from a food truck is great ambiance in my opinion, just gotta be in the mood for it. I had their 14$ burger and my fiancé had their 12$ dog, both worth the price, most food trucks are dumb expensive but this place is greatly priced. The food is super super good,n the burger it had the crispy burnt cheese and so much flavor, you're gonna have to try it yourself! And the dog also very good, I only had a bite but I'd give it a 4/5. If you're seeing this in yelp and you're in the area, come try it... you won't be disappointed. And when you come tell them Rothyy sent you. read more

These guys know what they are doing. Always great food and service. They can get busy, but I don't mind waiting when it's this good!

I had the Pimpurrito when they were at Clandestine Brewing yesterday. It was huge and delicious! Large, delicious shrimp inside, with plenty of chorizo. I wasn't given a lot of salsa but I can figure that out on my own. Plenty for multiple people or multiple meals. read more

Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy is HANDS DOWN the best tacos in San Jose! Everything on the menu is packed with flavor, fresh, and made with serious love. Lucky for me, he's local to my area, so I get to come back and try something new each time and believe me, everything hits. But if it's your first time. Do NOT leave without trying the Vampiro Taco, it's a must. Crispy, cheesy, juicy, and packed with bold flavors. Support this gem! San Jose is lucky to have Shrimpin Ain't Eazy in the mix. read more

We waited in line for 20min and food took about 15min to make. Super busy at the location we were at, but food was worth the wait! Got the pimpurrito and the eazy burger. The pimpurrito was good and a substantial amount of food. Chorizo with shrimp in a super burrito with their house sauce (tastes like a mango salsa purée) but i like their house orange sauce with it. The Eazy Burger consists of a Beef patty with a cheese skirt and some house shrimp flavors and sauce. The combo of the crunchy cheese skirt and succulently seasoned shrimp gave a great mouth feel. Fyi Both of them had a kick of spice read more

Everything was amazing!!!! Loved the food. Definitely my new favorite food truck. 5 stars is not enough 10 out of 10

Was at Narrative Fermentations when I saw the truck outside. Decided to give them a try since the line didn't look too long. Boy was I wrong because the line took 1.5 hours!!!! Which is stupid ridiculous for a food truck. It looks like they only have one guy cooking, one girl at the register, and one girl doing the packaging. I really didn't anticipate waiting so long. They only take a couple orders and then stop the ordering until the cook can finish the orders. We ordered the suadero taco ($10) and the chopped cheese ($18). I feel like it's pretty overpriced for what you're getting. Yes, the food was good but I can't say I would come back based on the long wait and prices. read more

The Cheese Down(Cheese, hamburger and shrimp) not worth the $20 at the Throttle Fest 10/05/24, the burger & Cheese portions were generous, but come on, 1 fucking shrimp in the whole sandwich!?

Excellent food profiles here. The Vampiro, chopped cheese, and easy burger are our favorites.

Believe the rumors, this is it - best chopped cheese in the bay area! I'm not a huge shrimp fan so I was a little concerned, but when I heard that they were in town for one day at Narrative Fermentations, I had to check it out. Chopped cheese, overall a 9.5/10 (and I don't give that easily). The shrimp n lobster tacos a 7/10, nothing exceptional. It was a food truck so we got seating inside the brewery, but no ambience from the truck itself. Service was friendly, took a little while, but we didn't mind as we could tell everything about it is fresh. It's hard to catch this place, but if they're in the area again, I'd want to go once more read more

SHRIMP + CHORIZO Tacos and Quesadillas with crispy griddled cheese, never seen a combo like this anywhere else. They are a pop-up and show up all over San Jose and San Francisco in different locations, they are also very popular and sell-out within a couple hours so count yourself lucky if you catch them and can try their food. "Street food for the Streets" is their tagline and I loved seeing the food + street culture fusion in their booth, graphic design, music, and demeanor: 100% authentic. I follow their IG and saw a post about the 1PM, Saturday @  Bakesto Park in N. San Jose and went there around 3 after my baby was done napping. By this time the shrimp quesadilla was already sold out but they had Vampiros. The shrimp and chorizo combo is a definite winner and I liked how they garnished and plated them, a really nice presentation. The cheese griddle layer was a tiny bit too thick making it hard to fold up, tasty but heavy meal I would save as a cheat-day treat every couple weeks. Keep in mind these are made to order and it can take 20-30 minutes to get your order depending on how backed up they are. They take venmo and cash. Address listed is for Hermitage Brewing, they show up consistently there and starting May will be there every 2nd and 4th Sunday each month! Check their IG for newest pop-ups. read more

Overall: The food was amazing but the wait time was a little long but that is fine. The people working were extremely nice and helped me make my decision. I ordered the chopped cheese and the pimpurrito Chopped Cheese 20$$ The chopped cheese was amazing the cheese pulls from the sandwich was amazing and the crispy cheese added a depth of flavor that I had never experienced before. The crispy bacon and the sauce that we were given had added a depth of flavor that I have not experience before. The slight sweetness of the sauce with the crispy sandwich was everything to me. 100% would recommend to you. Pimpurrito 20$$ The pimpurrito was good as well where the shrimp was nice and juicy and the chorizo in the burrito was crispy and flavorful. The salsa that we got was a bit spicy but worked well with the burrito. The avocado in the burrito added a depth of creaminess and we were given a generous amount of it in the burrito. Make sure to follow their IG @shrimpn_aint_easy and my IG: @bennywiththebelly read more

With so many overrated social media food trucks running around this spot was a nice change. The flavor of the food is fantastic. I got a big papa (loaded baked potato) tho I will be back to try a burrito and chopped cheese. The food is pretty pricey but they don't skip out on meat. The wait is a bit long, with me waiting over 15 minutes with only other customer there at the time. Overall, however I liked it a lot and will be back for sure. read more

Game changing taco. My partner and I were on a casual drive home and noticed a food truck called, "Shrimpin' aint easy". The logo is a shrimp dressed as a pimp. We make a U-Turn and head back cuz this of course requires a stop. This is their crabby shrimp taco. The outer shell is griddle crisped cheese. It's hard to tell but under the shrimp is a layer of lump meat crab! Phenomenal. We also tried the shrimp and chorizo taco and the garlic noodles. Both were outstanding. The shrimp are large and fresh. The noodles had the perfect texture and balance of flavor. Bravo! read more
