I drove past this so many times I had to check it out. My wife and I ordered one of each tostada and we were not disappointed. Great ceviche style seafood. We will definitely be going back again. I want to order a party tray soon.

I was so happy when I started spotting the signature blue sky and beach themed Marisco El Pariente truck in the middle of San Mateo as I've loved their food at the San Bruno location for years. My lunch order is Shrimp Ceviche Tostada, a half -order of deep friend Shrimp Taco Dorado, a Fish Taco and a Shrimp Tempura Taco... all this for $18! The Ceviche is refreshing and comes with two crispy flat tostadas and mayo (packet) which melds perfectly with the ceviche lime juices and shrimp with pico de gallo-type ingredients. The shrimp Taco Dorados are deep fried goodness, topped with avocado and some Tapatio for dipping... squeeze a lime inside and you have perfection. Both the fried, breaded fish and the tempura shrimp tacos are topped with pico de gallo and avocado, again with limes to add a flavor twist. Pro tip: a little dab of mayo on any of the dishes adds some creaminess and balance. Overall, I love this truck, it's friendly staff and delicious seafood offerings. You must give it a try!

This place is a hidden gem. The tacos Dorados are some of the best shrimp tacos you'll find! After frequenting the San Bruno location I was pumped to see they added another truck close to me in downtown San Mateo. Fast and friendly service too!

Update: Recently, the truck has been on the same side of the street as Hui Dental (i.e,, the east side facing northbound) not always on the side of the street of St. Matthews (i.e., the west side facing southbound).

I was hungry and looking for something to eat. I drove by their truck and decided to stop. I'm so glad I did because I had two delicious tacos--de pescado and suave-- that were fresh and flavorfulI plan to go back for more whenever I'm in the area.

This is my favorite spot for Mexican style seafood aka mariscos! So fresh and amazing ceviche and aguachile! The shrimp are just as amazing!

Very good food and fast service. The portions are large so think of sharing if you are going to the airport for a departure.

Tacos Dorados are three beautifully fried pieces of fresh caught fish with ample ripe avocado and two house salsas to die for! A serious local's spot for the discerning crowd and the lucky guys like me who happened upon it while staying across the street at the Ritz. I will make the drive from the city for another crab and ceviche tostada on a Sunday morning!
Delicious all the seafood, 100%
