Easily one of my favorite food trucks in Jacksonville so far. The seared tuna is in long succulent strips. The mahi in the first street taco is perfectly grilled. However, what's equally important is the pineapple mango salsa, as well as the Peruvian sauce and pico de gallo with the mahi. It offers the intense umami contrast that I often crave. You can get even more of that appetizing sourness if you get the cucumber salad as a side instead of fries.
Found this cool Air Stream Food Trailer parked at the community center in my neighborhood when leaving the pool. It had a nice size line in front so had to check out the vibe. Saw they were serving seafood tacos and the menu was super welcoming. I figured I would get one and try it by the pool. That Ahi Tuna Taco was so good I came back and got another 2 and the fried shrimp basket! Do your self a favor and check them out. Totally worth the "experience" Super happy and friendly crew also
Delicious This guys food truck is awesome!!! Super friendly group! Food was so fresh & light! Perfect evening meal. Will for sure eat at this truck again!
I checked out the menu in front of this airstream trailer and everything sounded good. They offer fried chicken, fried shrimp, grilled mahi, and pan seared ahi tuna tacos with various toppings. If tacos aren't your thing, they also have shrimp and chicken baskets, and hush puppies as a side. I was at a food truck event so I decided to try just one taco from this place so that I would still have an appetite to check out other trucks. When I went up to the window to order, I asked whether the taco was was served with anything else. Often times, a few chips or a small side will accompany the taco. For $6, I thought that might have been reasonable. But, this truck just serves a single taco. I ordered the First Street taco - grilled mahi with a pineapple mango salsa, peruvian sauce, and pico de gallo. When my order was ready, the ladies in the truck joked that they almost ate my taco because I took so long to come back to get it. The taco had a huge piece of fish, much larger than the size of fish that I was anticipating. It was sitting on top of a regular-sized flour tortilla and it had a good amount of toppings. Initially I was worried that the tortilla would not be able to withstand the weight of the fish or the juice from the salsa but surprisingly, it all held together. The fish was very nicely prepared and seasoned and the sweet salsa complemented it so well. It was really good and it all tasted very fresh. A grilled tortilla really would've made this wonderful. If I see them out again, I will definitely stop by. It was worth the $6.
Would you like to know the catch? The service. (Do all us Yelpers and yourself a favor and remove your "unknown" deal off your Yelp page if you aren't keen on honoring it.) The catch is that they don't want to honor the Yelp check in reward (1 free drink with food purchase). They deny knowing anything about it. Then they try to get you to sign up with their own rewards program. Then put a guilt trip on you. The guy trying to convince me to sign up for their rewards program called out very loudly over my shoulder to the guy in the food truck, "oh i guess i'll pay for this one." Meh. not going there again. I can always go to Flying Iguana for some delicious tacos. (I've only had a small glimpse of Flying Iguana's legendary goodness at the MOSH Yelp event and I am already hooked. They were bursting with much more flavors than the tacos at What's the Catch.) However, If this guilt trip and outright denial doesn't bother you, then feel free to have a taco here. They are pretty tasty and they have creative combinations of flavors. At Whats the Catch, the Key West taco has a nice mix of flavors and the 1st Street Taco has peruvian sauce in it. Delicious! But still not as spectacularly tasty and addictive as the taco I had from Flying Iguana which definitely runs miles around the Whats the Catch tacos. Also, Whats the Catch tacos cost twice the price of my favorite go-to taco spot Mr. Taco (which also features tacos with more flavorful depth than the Whats the Catch tacos). $4 per each taco at Whats the Catch vs. $2 per taco at Mr. Taco. FYI. Service? I'll take my money elsewhere, spank you very much.
Best Ahi Tuna Taco hands down! Supreme deliciousness! Talk about perfect lunch with large portion of 6-7 perfectly and very lightly seared ahi tuna slab pieces...melt in your mouth delicious accompanied by a bit of shredded lettuce, fresh pineapple chucks and a very tasty Shoyu sauce all wrapped in a yummy larger flour taco wrap! Another great food truck with super food selections and customer service (1230 showtime and no wait and no line this Thursday) that I'm adding to the Food Truck "must hit up" list! So good, you can't pass it up!
Hi, my name is Maya and I have a Food Truck addiction hahaha. This trip was my 4th truck in a week and I had swore that I'd not go to another one after the 3rd truck. I couldn't resist since I'd never had them before and the prices were reasonable. My coworkers and I found them on Jax Truckies and decided to go check them out since they were nearby. The guy at the counter was friendly and offered us suggestions based on what we were in the mood for. I got a Ahi Tuna taco and a bag of chips. Simple lunch. Though it's just one taco, it's pretty big and it hit the spot for a lunch meal. The tuna was nice and fresh and the pineapple made it perfect. I did see that there was a check-in offer for a free drink but I had already paid for my meal. I'll save it for the next time I'm feeling taco-y to see if they'll honor it.
wait what...I haven't reviewed this truck??!! About a grillion years ago when food trucks were a new and different thing, my very first food truck eats were from What's the Catch..i remember that shrimp taco as if it were just last night..and I also remember the friendly face and great customer service I experienced. Fast forward to now..i went to the taco takeover food truck rally..i went after the gym, so I was sweaty and hungry! My friend and I had the Key West taco which was grilled mahi and had a jalapeno aioli...it was perfection, and not bogged down by any heavy ingredients so I felt like I was making a somewhat smart choice..it came with a hushpuppy and some lime slices as well..great presentation, awesome flavors ,and that same smiling face that greeted me last time. I love this truck and will always remember the taco that made my life different all those years ago.
Overpriced but tasty tacos. I think they have a special or at least when I ate there - You get two tacos and a side of fries for X amount. I thought I took a picture of the menu, but I did not. Would I eat here again? Yes, probably.
I love seeing this food truck around town - the 1971 throwback silver Airstream always catches my eye when I see it around Hodges and events around Jacksonville. What's the Catch has the best fish tacos I've ever had in Jacksonville - and I've tried a lot! The fish (and toppings) are always fresh, grilled with a light crisp and served with great flavor combos. They also don't skimp on the fish and shrimp as I've seen other spots around town do - these are big chunks that won't disappoint. So far I've tried the Key West taco (fresh grilled grouper with citrus, chopped lettuce, some pico, avocado, cilantro and a drizzle of lime cilantro sauce), the Baja Beach Taco ( blackened grouper, corn & black bean salsa, some chopped lettuce and their signature sauce) and the Blue Lava Shrimp Taco (fried shrimp covered in a mild Buffalo sauce and Blue Cheese dressing, with celery and carrot shavings on top). All worth trying, and I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Even though they were busy when I stopped by, the staff was handling the crowd with ease. Our order came out quickly and the girls up front were very nice. Thanks for a great lunch!
Tried this place for the first time. Will I go back, hell yes!!! Had the Spicy Seared Ahi and Blue Lava Shrimp taco combo with Hush Puppies. Food was excellent and online ordering was simplistic and spot on. As I pulled in to the lot for my chosen designated time a text was sent that my order was ready. Perfecto!!!! Highly recommend!!!!
Wow!! I always love checking out new food trucks and just happened to stumble upon them at an event today! I usually don't choose seafood as a food option unless I'm at a seafood restaurant but thought I would try today! I am soo glad I did! I got the 2 taco combo with the Cheddar Chicken Ranch taco and the Island Shrimp taco with a side of fries! Everything was delicious but that shrimp taco was out of this world good!! It was so perfectly breaded with the most delicious pico de gallo and pineapple topping! And these tacos do not skimp out-they were huge and filled to the brim! Service was fabulous and incredibly fast! By the time I was done paying it was already done! I love that the food truck is an airstream trailer! How cool and retro of an idea has a restaurant! I can't wait to find them at our next event! read more
I had the pleasure of grabbing a bite here this past weekend. The staff was super nice! From beginning of order to grabbing my food was maybe 10 minutes. That is fast! I ordered the Old Bay Shrimp Basket. I wanted tacos, but as a Marylander, it is really hard to say no to Old Bay. The shrimp was tasty, the fries were well seasoned, but the true star was the spicy signature dipping sauce. It was spicy but not too much so. This food truck is worth another visit for sure. read more
When a couple of VPs of your company stop by for a visit, a catered lunch usually follows. @whatsthecatchfoodtruck was a HUGE hit with the office crew. Multiple thumbs up as I walked around and asked how everyone was enjoying the food.

Shrimp tacos what more can I say! I got an order of hush puppies and two tacos at a great combo price. Really nice down to earth guys. Food is great...food truck food is always a toss up but these guys have their genre down packed. I'll visit again! read more

Every time I have come here I've gotten nothing but shrimp or fish tacos (because I love seafood, duh). The Blue Lava Tacos are my favorite. I also get a plate some times. I also usually get fries. Which are crispy and seasoned nicely. Not too much. It kinda reminds me of Rally's fries but way better. They sprinkle blue cheese on them too. Or maybe because my tacos have it on them. Idk. The wait isn't long at all. Portions are generous. If ever you see this truck, it's worth a try. read more

I went here on my lunch break. I went right at 12 o'clock so the lunch rush was there and the line was long but they really knocked it out quickly. So if you see these guys with a long line don't worry. I was impressed. I ordered the shrimp basket with fries. By the time I finished paying my food was ready. There were two people in the food truck and both were very friendly and efficient. The menu was well organized and had a variety of different seafood tacos to try. Next time they are here I plan to get one of their tacos. I was just in the mood for something fried and the basket didn't disappoint. They gave me a good sized portion and the fried shrimp was seasoned perfectly. If these guys come back I will make sure to be there! read more

Good seafood. Got the shrimp basket. Shrimp were juicy and plump... and most importantly, they tasted FRESH! Nothing worse than that frozen seafood taste. While checking out the hot sauces I was told they make a hot sauce which was better (or maybe just had some on the truck but I think they said make... it's been a while and I should have posted this sooner). Whichever, it was good and complemented the shrimp. I'll be going back. read more

It was okay... Maybe my hopes were a little too high, but I hate to say I was a little disappointed with my first experience here. I tried the Ahi Tuna Taco and the Chicken Ranch Taco. I really didn't enjoy the Ahi Tuna...it was supposed to be spicy but I felt the whole thing lacked flavor. The Chicken Ranch taco was better but there was so much lettuce compared to the chicken and toppings that it was more like eating a salad roll up. With that being said, service was fast, staff was friendly and I'd be willing to give it another try someday. read more
What really can I say about What's The Catch food truck. They are really great people who genuinely care about the food that they serve you. John J public will get the best and the freshest seafood that they can find. Then you add a couple (Richard n Brett) of beach raised guys that have the in with fishermen and purveyor's hell they were some great fishermen. You could add some nice people like Raley and Mellissa (I think) are super sweet and quick with a suggestion. the whole truck runs like a well oiled machine that pumps out great tasting and some of the freshest this guy has had in a longtime. read more

This was my first experience with this food truck and i wasn't blown away but I was very satisfied. I ordered a grilled grouper taco with pico & mango pineapple salsa. This fish was very good and I loved the marinade they had on it. Also the hushpuppies were great. The only downfall to my meal was I didn't get as much food for my money as I thought. For 1 taco and 4 hushpuppies I paid 8.56 and the fish wasn't even as large as the taco so there was a bit of my taco fishless. I was hoping to try the grilled scallop taco so if i see this truck again and that is on the menu I will definitely give it another go! read more
