Cocteleria La Palma Mariscos Y Mas

If it was impossible to give Six Stars... I would be doing so right now. After being a glutton for almost every Taco I can get my hands on... in the "town of tacos" aka Tucson.... This ended up being what I consider the best in town! Don't let the fact that it's a food truck for you. Seafood is incredibly fresh. Reasonable price. The owner is amazing. Try crab tostada and for sure get a fish AND a shrimp taco

Me and my friend group came here for lunch and loved it so much that we came back a few hours later for some more! The outside looks unassuming but this was one of the most delicious tacos and tostadas we’ve ever had. It was so so fresh and full of flavor.. you won’t regret giving it a try! If we didn’t live in another state we’d be regulars. Plus the people working there are so nice and remembered our names when we came back the 2nd time. Worth a visit!

I love eating here. The food is amazing, so yummy 😋 . And the customer service is always great, very friendly and polite. And the price is right for some Delicious food And their hibiscus lemonade is the bomb.

Being someone who has eaten mostly all seafood places in town, the food here is very delicious. The cocktails are fresh and very good. The fish tacos are amazing. When in town I visit this place often and the servers are attentive and prices are fair.

From LA came to this place in Tucson for some seafood it was a good choice. I enjoyed it. My husband loved it. The lady in the front taking my order was very nice. Good vibes .. Felt welcome.

I am not lying when I say this is some of the best food I have ever eaten, period. I had a shrimp taco, a fish taco, and a shrimp ceviche tostada with a coke it was $13 cash. The shrimp and fish were fried in a beautiful light almost sweet batter, served on perfectly chewy corn tortillas with a delicious pico de gallo and a slice of avocado. Squeeze of lime and absolute perfection. Huge portions of crazy fresh shrimp and a light white fish definitely NOT tilapia! The shrimp ceviche was so refreshing, with perfectly diced cucumber, tomato, oregano and cilantro. Avocado slice gave it a creamy-ness. I was absolutely blown away. Service was stellar. You can call and order ahead.15 out of 10. Definitely coming back next week.

What a fantastic find in Tucson! You'd think that being in a landlocked state the seafood wouldn't be fresh, especially coming out of a food truck, but it was fresh alright! The preparation of the battered fish and HUGE shrimp was perfect! All components of the tacos was fresh and delicious! I will be headed back as much as possible!

The best sea food 🥘 spot in Tucson !! Hands down !!! Ceviche is my favorite 🤩 a you have to try they fresh lemonade & horchata !!! Or Jamaica & limon delicious great family own a great service !!

Have I finally found the promised land of fish tacos in Tucson? I think so. La Palma may be the closest experience in Tucson to the Baja fish tacos I could find throughout Southern California. Their big white food trailer is topped with a large blue tarp that shades a comfortable seating area. The location is kiddy corner from a gleaming white church at the opposite side of the intersection. In a short time, La Palma has become my go-to for fish tacos because the quality is consistent and they know how to dress the tacos with the right combination of flavors. Additionally, they make a mean horchata that compliments the meal perfectly. I'm probably in the wrong crowds because I have not heard other people mention La Palma while praising quite lesser places. I don't get it. All I can say is that for those SoCal folks who are passing through Tucson and are hankering for good fish tacos, pull up to La Palma and be overjoyed. P.S. The folks here are very nice and welcoming.

As my friend Matt and I continue looking for the best Mexican food trucks in Tucson, we selected this place because it is one of the few that has seafood as their mainstay. The seafood comes prepared three different ways: ceviche, sautéed, and deep fried. The menu is on a sheet of paper on counter in front of the order window. Esther was taking orders and asked if we have been here before and when we said no, she explained to me what the ingredients were in the taco I ordered. I am very fussy about what I want in the taco and she was great explaining what was in the taco. I ordered the sauté shrimp taco but held back on the lettuce and cucumber (because I don't like them). The taco was excellent and very tasty. They have about twenty plus different kinds of hot sauce to choose from to put on your taco. The tomatoes and onions gave it a distinct flavor. The best shrimp taco I ever had in the US. Matt got two different entries, a deep fried fish taco and a deep fried shrimp and fish tostada. The man loves his deep fried food. He was very pleased with the results and said the flavors were great. The food truck had a covered patio that sat around 20+ customers. While we were there they were very busy with both takeout orders and regular dinners. The tables were very clean and you weren't rushed to eat and leave, there were dinners that sat and talked after the meal. I would highly recommend this food truck for anyone that enjoys seafood dishes.

Have eaten here maybe 6 times. Its a food trailer at a dirt lot on 22nd and 6th...gets real busy for lunch. Ambiance....not much to speak of, dining area is clean...3 stars. Service...superb, always feel welcomed, helpful and accomodating. 5 stars Food...interesting...some that i have had is stellar, some not. The breading on the fried shrimps is excessive, in my opinion. Just had the grilled fish quesedilla, and it was outstanding...cheese, garlicky, lots of fish..will have again...but I didn't care for the fish tacos. The cooked shrimp tostada is a winner 4 stars.

I'd had driven by for years but never stopped in. I'm glad I finally did. The food is excellent. I got a Camarones Ahogados tostada which was raw shrimp, avocado, and onions in a flavorful liquid of some sort. The other food I got were two shrimp tacos, a grilled and a fried. Both were a good portion of shrimp and cooked perfectly. The service was fast and friendly. Ambiance? You're eating from a truck/trailer in a dirt lot. It's cool to watch the traffic come and go. I was skeptical about getting raw shrimp from a truck, but it was awesome.

Tried this place out for lunch and got to say it was very tasty and great price point. The ordering was fast and service was excellent. Very clean and friendly establishment. Will go again.

Just stopped and are here on our drive from California to Texas and OMG this place is SO good! So good it makes me want to move to Tucson to eat here everyday . Joking, not joking. Looks family owned and run , delicious agua Fresca. Crab tostada , seafood tacos and this huge quesadilla dish with seafood in it. The chile is good also. The guy helping us was also really nice and helpful. I love good customer service. It's really nice to have a place to stop and eat that is fresh food, fresh seafood and not have to eat nasty fast food on a road trip. Hoping to stop here on our way back to Cali. This place is so delicious.

Stopped by this seafood food truck and was really impressed! The shrimp ceviche tostada was super fresh and flavorful, and the aguachiles had just the right kick--perfect for a hot day. The seating area was clean and well-kept, which is always a plus when you're eating outside. The employees were super nice and made the experience even better. Pasé por este food truck de mariscos y quedé impresionada! El ceviche de camarones estaba súper fresco y sabroso, y los aguachiles tenían el toque perfecto, perfectos para un día caluroso. Las mesas y sillas estaban limpias, lo cual siempre es una ventaja cuando comes al aire libre. Los empleados fueron muy amables e hicieron la experiencia aún mejor.

My second time to stop by here. This place does not disappoint for ceviche and the service is over the top friendly and polite. This food truck sits on the corner of sixth Street and 22nd with a nice shady Ramada. But the best part is the food is fresh and tasty and delicious. What is more, I think it's really worth the value. They do make grilled fish and shrimp tacos as well if you're not into the raw stuff. Come and enjoy; you won't be sorry.

My wife & I each had the Crab Tostada this morning at La Palma. It has been at least a year since we ate at this 22nd St. / 6th Ave. place. At first bite we each smiled to acknowledge Crab Perfection! The juicy tostada was full of delicious crabmeat. The Sonoran sauces made my taste buds smile. La Palma staff we're friendly & efficient. The tables were clean. The price was great for this quick bite. Love La Palma!

One of the best ceviche I've ever had. The shrimp comes while, but I asked them to chop it into bite sized pieces for me. The fish and shrimp tacos were not bad. They didn't wow me, but we're good and executed well. I loved the outside vibes of the truck. I'll be back! Sounds crazy, but I wanna order a quart to bring back with me to California.

I love a seafood taco, and these did not disappoint! Although they're just serving out of a food truck, the service was really friendly, the food was made fresh, and they have plenty of outdoor seating set up. We ordered shrimp and fish tacos, as well as a quesadilla (same contents as the tacos, plus cheese and a nice sear on the tortilla). Everything was great quality and good value for the price. If I lived in Tucson, I'd be a regular here!

Food was delicious. Service is always great. We tried the platter with different types of seafood and it was perfect for two.

You won't find better Mexican seafood in Tucson. The fish ceviche is beyond perfection. Most restaurants in Tucson only offer shrimp ceviche this place does both. I also had the fish and shrimp tacos off the map fresh and tender. It's a permanent taco truck with nice dog friendly seating and friendly English speaking staff.

Absolute best food and seafood in Tucson. Everyone needs to try this place, the friendliest staff, and the best seafood I've tried in the whole state, amazing prices, amazing flavor and the fish is extremely fresh and tasty. Must go place in Tucson, you absolutely won't regret it. My favorites are the shrimp tacos, and the ceviche tostadas. Don't forget to try their fresh salsa!

The best place to get aguachiles!! I crave them just about every week!! The customer service is amazing as well! Greats prices for seafood in the desert! I can't wait for my next visit!!

THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST FRICKING SEAFOOD TACOS OF ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL TIME!!!!! So fresh, so flavorful, and so reasonably priced. I've only had their fish and shrimp tacos and tostadas, which are loaded with fish and large shrimp - 2 tacos are a sufficient meal, 3 if you're starving or indulging. Either way, their food is absolutely worth every penny and then some. I need to return to try the ceviche and seafood soup, as I've seen lots of people order it. Heck, I need to try everything on their menu. Just go. Their food solves wars. Or it should. Actually, I wouldn't want heads of state going here to broker peace deals, because then I wouldn't be able to access it anymore! :P

Extremely good food. Get the shrimp quesadilla and shrimp or fish tacos. Absolutely delicious!

Have wanted to try this place for several months. Definitely was not disappointed. We both had the caldo de cameron. It was large and the cucumbers were diced small (which I like). There was plenty of shrimp, however I wish they were cust in half for more bites. It's accompanied with some chips & saltines. In addition, you have plenty of different hot sauces to choose from. Enjoy!

This place is absolutely phenomenal!!! I have been stopping by here everytime I get a chance. The prices are good, the service is great and the food is the best. It's quick and easy without all the waiting around done at restaurants. The quality of food this place puts out is unbelieveable for a food truck. There is nothing I've ordered or seen anyone else order that wasn't outstanding. There are so many different food trucks in Tucson, but this one sets the bar at a whole new level.

I got the shrimp quesadilla and it was massive. Shrimp is breaded beautifully. We also had a shrimp Coctel and a shrimp and some other kind of taco. We were super happy with food. The shrimp quesadilla comes fully loaded and had lettuce, avocado and some sort of chipotle type of chipotle cream sauce. Everything was fresh and they truly deserve the five stars

5 Stars all the way! If that doesn't grab your attention to try this gem out, then my review probably will seal the deal . Firstly, upon arrival the staff was very friendly, and helpful. They quickly took notice that I was a first timer and offered so many delicious recommendations from food to drinks. The lucky pair for my lunch was a shrimp quesadilla and a fresh squeezed limeade. The shrimp quesadilla not only looked mouthwatering but also didn't leave a single tastebud in my mouth empty. It was so full of freshness that even wrapped up in a flour tortilla and having the shrimp deep fried and breaded didn't take away from the taste of freshness that I usually seek when eating seafood. The limeade was simply the "cherry on top" for my lunch choice. Being a "newbie " to the area It's comforting to find some amazing local eats to make Tucson truly feel like my new home. Thanks for the hospitality and the amazing eats !

Traveled from phoenix for a good shrimp cocktail, this place did not disappoint. Loved it, the portion size is great worth the $18.00. Would travel again for this. I eat them with perico tostadas tortillas. But they also give a nice portion of corn chips and crackers. The wait time was perfect, their was only 1 other couple there. When we got there, I was not even half way thru my order before the lot was filled with cars. Grate place happy with it all around.

Loved this place - great service and food. It was cold and windy when we went and Esther brought us our food to our car. The fish and shrimp are battered and fried. Really tasty and affordable.

Best mariscos place in town! Everything is so fresh! This is always our first choice when we're craving Mariscos.

I've been here twice and I'm already "a Duke." There is something wrong with that as this place is a gem. For starters, let's be clear that it is a food truck. But it is as well established an operation as any full-on restaurant. Also, its not quite in the location where Yelp has it. It is "kitty corner" from the large white church at that intersection. With that, let me say that the people here are super nice, they make fresh limeade and the two dishes I've had (both shrimp) were so spectacular, that I plan to go again tomorrow. Good, reasonably priced and fresh seafood is a luxury that everybody can afford here. Enjoy it!

THE BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD. PERIOD. Not just Mexican or tacos or seafood, the best things I have ever eaten. Shrimp and fish tacos: light almost sweet batter, fried to perfection, served on chewy corn tortillas with pico de gallo and a slice of avocado. Squeeze of lime and bam. Died and gone to heaven. The shrimp ceviche was so refreshing, ridiculously fresh. Perfect dice cucumber onion and tomato, amazing tomato juices and oregano the shrimp was beautiful and the avocado gave it a hint of creamy-ness that was over the top. Service was five stars. Made me feel like family. Can't wait to try everything!!!!!!

La Palma Mariscos is our family favorite for fish tacos in Tucson ! We absolutely love the fare at this taco truck and have to be back to whet our appetites sooner than later ! And they provide really great service as well ! Last Saturday we visited the place was full of customers yet the food still tasted as tasty as always ! Keep on spreading the joy with your amazing food!

This food truck is amazing. We were here earlier this week and had to come back again because everything is so fresh and tasty. We tried the fish and shrimp quesadilla tacos as well as the ceviche tostadas in fish, shrimp, and a combo of the two. Everything is magical. We washed it all down with refreshing lemonades. I can't recommend this place enough. You need to eat here.

This is the best seafood, as good as the stands in Baja. Fish tacos so delicious and the fish ceviche is amazing. Super friendly too!

Excellent shrimp tacos, freshly and quickly made. We bought them for lunch and then, after our hike, we went back to the truck for more of the same. Good service with a smile.

We've driven past this place a thousand times and finally stopped in for take out. Great food!!! The Shrimp Ceviche was amazing. Shrimp and fish tacos SO good. Fresh squeezed lemonade. Friendly service!

Best seafood in Tucson!! The shrimp ceviche tostada is amazing and the shrimp tacos are the best!! The prices are great and the people working are amazing! Give this place a try you won't regret it!!

I read about this food truck in Bon Appetite magazine, and it was delicious. We both had the shrimp tacos. Ask for their homemade red salsa, it is very hot but delicious! Definitely try it.

I love coming here food tastes amazing!! This is the second time though that I get food to go and have found hair in my food. I usually see men cooking which there's no problem but please keep in mind if you want to have the long beards wear a mask or something that might help keep facial hair out of the food you cook. Food here is not cheap and you get home hungry ready to eat and once you find the hair it really ruins the rest of your meal because we throw it away. I see a lot of people eat there I wonder if maybe employees are more careful when they serve you there vs food Togo.

Went to this gem yesterday. The food was awesome. It felt like i was eating at a marisco joint in Mexico. They also dont skimp out on the shrimp when u order cocktails. I ordered a medium shrimp cocktail, breaded shrimp taco, and a caguamanta taco. All three were spot on. The breading on the shrimp taco was one of the best I've ever had. Its an outdoor seating food truck but dont let that discourage you from eating seafood from it cuz you wont be disappointed in the flavors popping in your mouth.

5 stars! Hands down best shrimp ceviche and fried shrimp tacos in town. Service was quick and delicious. Never thought I'd eat ceviche from a food truck. Very reasonably priced. There is a covered patio to eat in, but it fills up quick!

Absolutely stunningly delicious food. Amazing value and great service. Definitely coming back

Found this place while out shopping. Street corner food truck. But, don't let that fool you. Spectacular food. The wife and I had a mixed seafood tostada, and three, yeah that's right, three shrimp quesadillas. The tortilla was lightly fried and stuffed full with battered shrimp, lettuce, melted cheese, onion, avocado, tomato and lime slices for squeezing. We both over ate, but left fat and happy. We plan on stopping for their cerviche / cocktails on our way back next week.

This place is five stars for good reason! The food is really delicious and people are super nice. Mariscos take center stage here, so if you're a fan fan of all things mariscos, definitely try this place. The shrimp tostada (you can order with raw or boiled shrimp) is served with a thin layer of mayo and the traditional ceviche flavors. SO good! The shrimp tacos are battered somewhat thickly but done really well. Not super greasy. Delicious. If you mention Yelp you get a free lemonade to keep you refreshed. They've got plenty of tables and chairs outside as well. A must try!

This is a food truck and the parking is on the dirt area. The fresh squeezed lemonade is so fresh and tasty. I haven't bought a lemonade this good in ages. I feel the love in this one. I ordered an order of shrimp ceviche. So good. It tastes very fresh, healthy, and wholesome. A whopping 4.5 stars. For a good fresh, healthy alternative, give this place a try.

Just ordered from grubhub. I was craving seafood and I was not disappointed with aguachile. I will definitely be going in person. Delicious!

I don't eat out for lunch often but 2 weeks ago I needed Shrimp and I remembered this place. I got shrimps tacos and Shrimp Ceviche. They gave me a taste of the shrimp as I was waiting. So so good. Prices are amazing. Stopped again today and got the same thing, fresh and healthy. Today they gave me a taste of the fresh crab.....Next time for sure!

Great food! Family owned and operated. I orders the shrimp quesadilla and it was delish. They specialize in ceviche dishes and I'm going to try that next. I will definitely hit this spot in the heat of summer. Very much worth the visit.

Best service I've ever had and the food is beyond delicious and made me feel like I was on the side of the beach

I live this place so much it's fast and convenient. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The food is amazing, I've had the shrimp ceviche and I thought it was delicious I would honestly eat here every day if I could it's that good. 10/10 would recommend!

Absolutely perfect. The service and the food were exceptional. Ask for the house hot sauce

Simply delicious! This family ran business is a rare find in Tucson, you can really tell they care a lot about their overall quality of food and service. Definitely coming back soon!

I can't tell enough people about this location. It is such good food, the service is always great, and I always leave completely satisfied. They have a lot of different mariscos/seafood items to choose from and everything thing I've tried has been good. I personally recommend the Tostada de Agua Chile, or the Taco de Cameron empanizado. If you're looking for the best marisco spot in town, here you go.

Amazing shrimp and fish tacos. Corner of 6th and 22nd. The fresh lemonade was perfect. Will definitely be back when we return to Tucson.
