“We have had pupusa many times, so I decided to get the camarones al mojo. I was a little hesitant at first because I have never had any other type of Salvadoran food. I made a great choice. The camarones were so delirious. They were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. My mom got the pupusas. Great taste and very flavorful. Best pupusas we ever had. Our see Rosie was vey great and tok her time to answer any questions we had. We will definitely be come back here.“

Marisco & Tacos Mexican • $
6299 E Olympic Blvd #6279, East Los Angeles

“This has to be the best ceviche I've ever had. They serve it on a food truck and they have some seats by the truck to enjoy your food. Now you're thinking theres no way the food is fresh if its served on a truck. Well the quality and textures here are 5 stars. My friends and I ordered the Tacos de Camaron, Poseidon and Mixta. The octopus and shrimp were cooked perfectly. Not too chewy and the combination of citrus with their house made salsa were perfect. Between the 4 of us this was plenty of food. Prices are reasonable and portions are great. Wait times can be long, but well worth it. Theres a big parking lot across the street and plenty of street parking around the corner. I would recommend eating right away as the food can get soggy.“

Birria Taco

“The tacos with queso and nachos were the best. The vampiros and the mulitas were okay. I like that they serve "La Dichosa" with a large cup of consome and 3 different salsas as seen in the picture. The service was really good and I love the little decorations they have. I will definitely be coming back. They also have free coffee“

“I have no idea how this place has 3 stars. If you ain't in to head meat then don't come here and complain that they don't sell what you typically want "chicken asada" or typical asada tacos. The tacos here all super good hands down! I especially love the tacos de lengua and tacos de labio I also order the taco de nervio and mix it in the other meats to give it a bit of a different taste. I usually have some red rice or elbow salad at home to eat it with or on a movie night break out the limón hot cheetohs for that crunchy texture with a Mexican squirt bottle. The ambiance here is dope specially on taco Tuesday the tacos are cheap and it's get really busy as it should. I love the fact that people bring their families and set up their chairs in the parking lot and order tacos after tacos after tacos. It's family friendly. The service is great ladies are always nice and respect you and always make sure you get your food quickly and with the condiments. The tacos are really soft and the meat is just really flavorful and tasty and ugh if your about the head portion of tacos you know these are hands down the spot for them! They are decently priced as I go to other places and nearly $3-4 and can't even enjoy more than 3 tacos from all the grease but here I can have about 10 on a taco Tuesday and they taste CLEAN!! I always recommend this spot to all my friends and family I wish they did catering though that would be awesome!“

“This is my first time coming back this tacos stand in over 7 years and this place did not disappoint at all, the tortillas are handmade store is delicious I like that they have a limited amount of meats meaning that whatever you get, will be delicious. People working they provide friendly and fast service. Location is as it should be for street tacos, it's just adds more to the ambience and experience of street tacos 10/10.“

“came here on a Friday night around 7:00, it's rare that you find a food truck with quality Meats but I would say this one surprised me I know expectation I just wanted some classic tacos they had all the different kinds of meats you would want they even had carne asada nachos and fries and burritos and other stuff on the menu that I wasn't expecting to see the salsa game was really good. The food took probably less than 10 minutes there was no line really and they had a couple of picnic tables off to the side where we were able to eat our food we ate quickly because it was cold but the food was delicious! I had asada suadero and Cabeza, I like them all but if I had to go back and just pick one I would probably stick with the suadero. They all have the perfect amount of flavoring sometimes a lot of these food trucks will cook all the meat and you're missing salt you're missing a salsa onion and cilantro these you could have honestly just had without any other toppings and it would have been fine the flavor is that good! Definitely worth pulling over and grabbing some tacos! oh the horchata was also delicious!“
