"You can’t talk about tacos in LA without mentioning the shrimp tacos at Mariscos Jalisco, and we’re not here to deviate from that discourse. Now served at four locations across town, these crispy-fried tacos dorados are stuffed with a warm shrimp and potato filling, topped with avocado, then doused in fresh tomato salsa with flecks of cabbage mixed in. For seafood fans, the texture alone could warrant a trip across the country. But Mariscos Jalisco isn’t a one-hit wonder. We also love the Poseidon tostada, which comes heaped with finely minced Baja-style ceviche, cooked octopus, and a spicy red aguachile that acts as a fiery garnish.
