The Best Mariscos Restaurants in LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"In roughly 16 feet of space, this Highland Park food truck can whip up mariscos that wouldn’t look out of place in a fine dining restaurant. Smoky octopus barbacoa, softshell crab tacos that pop from spicy pineapple salsa, and an aguachile negro with jet-black sauce that’s silky, a bit sweet, and properly punchy. It’s made with burnt tomatillos, which gives it an acidic pucker that makes your eyes shrivel up. Whatever you end up getting, just make sure to top it with one of the truck’s salsas in the refrigerated cabinet. They range from nutty salsa macha to unexpected flavor combinations, like the creamy, tangy carrot habanero that’s so good we mindlessly put on everything we order here." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, brant cox
