"Why do I feel like no one talks about the campechana from Mariscos Jalisco? I’ve visited the legendary Boyle Heights food truck no less than a thousand times (give or take a few hundred), but always stick with the same order: one mixta ceviche, plus two (or six) tacos de camaron. In my eyes, it’s the perfect order - it’s what we recommend in our review (although the Poseidon is too spicy for me), and includes a bit of all the best things on the menu. Wrong. You need to get the campechana. Served in a tall styrofoam cup, the rich tomato-based broth comes packed with an ocean’s-worth of shrimp, abalone, baby octopus, and an entire raw oyster. It’s shrimp cocktail in its ultimate form - a little heat, a touch of acidity, and again, one raw oyster. It’s a seafood lover’s dream, and anyone who even tangentially likes micheladas or serotonin pumped straight into their nervous system should consider ordering this. -KH" - the infatuation los angeles crew
