Mariscos 4 Vientos

I had four of the shrimp tacos. They're crispy and the salsa that they put on top is out of this world. It counteracts the warmth of the taco fresh and a little cold. But after the second taco that spicing starts coming through. And next thing you know you got some drops running down your forehead. Your nose is running a little but you can't stop eating those darn tacos. By the fourth one I was kind of dizzy but I kept going and washed it down with a cucumber water. My girl shrimp tacos too and a fish taco. Wow that fish taco was so good as well. I had to take a bite. Fresh delicious mariscos can't be beat in this part of town.

Love the crevice here, inhaled the first one in about 3 minutes and ordered a second one! Come eat here it’s yummy!

We got there at 5:03 (knowing they close at 5:30) we were expecting them to say they couldn’t serve us anymore or a rude attitude, HOWEVER, Carlos greeted us with a huge smile. He answered my daughter’s question regarding the food contents (shellfish allergy). We didn’t wait long, the food was soooooo good, we got tostadas and tacos and my daughters loved the French fries. They want to say thank you to Carlos because he was so attentive.

On a recent visit to Mariscos 4 Vientos, I found myself delightfully surprised by both the food and the warm service, even though the staff seemed a bit taken aback to see a lone ‘guero’ walking in. The shrimp tacos, especially the Baja shrimp taco, were absolutely exceptional—bursting with flavor and incredibly priced. The lively atmosphere matched the quality of the food, making for an engaging dining experience. It’s worth noting that this spot is cash-only, so come prepared. This adds a touch of simplicity that I appreciated, as it keeps the focus on the culinary experience. I received a recommendation to try the Tacos Gobernador on my next visit, and given the impressive quality of my first meal, I’m eagerly anticipating my return. The service was excellent, the staff was welcoming, and the atmosphere was just right for a casual yet memorable meal. Mariscos 4 Vientos is a standout spot for anyone craving authentic, delicious seafood tacos, and I can’t wait to dive into more of their menu.

Super yummy food!! We had the Marlin quesadilla tacos, shrimp tacos dorados, and the fish tacos!! All 10/10 so delicious and flavorful! The prices are perfect for the quality! Service was great all the people there are nice. It seems like there is no one person assigned to a table so I’m assuming the tip gets split (I hope). Overall awesome experience it was our first time there. Drinks are you typical drinks I don’t think they have fountain drinks though.

This is a legendary Mexican seafood spot that was reviewed by mark wiens some years ago and that's how I found out about it and since then its been a spot that I always stop by when I'm around the area. the food is quality here and truly unique. their Baja fish tacos are gigantic and everything else is just incredible.

Was looking for my go-to taco truck spot and instead, found this one by mistake. My shrimp taco (which was good) came with all this 😍

Great food and service. Went on a Sunday, 1 hr wait to be seated but worth it. CASH ONLY.

I take all my out of towners here. The food is spot on, i especially love their deep fried tacos --- Dorados something and their fish tacos. Don't come famished because often times there is a line. Customer service is excellent; i don't speak Spanish so they accomodate non-Spanish speaking guests --- this is a hole in the wall and a staple in LA. Love this place because they have parking in the back and they give free nachos & their signature salsa.

We had an awesome time at 4 Vientos, and a big part of that was thanks to our waiter, Carlos. Right from the start, Carlos was super friendly and made us feel right at home. He really knows the menu well and gave us some great suggestions on the seafood dishes. Carlos made sure we had everything we needed without hovering, which we really appreciated. What made the lunch even better was Carlos's great attitude and sense of humor. Big shoutout to Carlos for making our meal at 4 Vientos so enjoyable. We'll definitely be back, hoping to catch him again!

To be honest the tacos wasn't that bad but, the reason for the rating was that the tacos got soggy fast. Tacos wasn't hot either. I even asked for the salsa on the side and we ate in the car. The other spot up front was way better, their tacos was always hot and doesn't get soggy fast.

La comida aquí es deliciosa, realmente merece una calificación de 5 estrellas. El servicio al cliente también es excepcional, lo cual es de destacar. Es importante reconocer y apreciar cuando un establecimiento se esfuerza por brindar una experiencia positiva. Sin duda, este es un lugar al que volvería a visitar. ¡Altamente recomendado para aquellos que buscan una comida deliciosa y un servicio amable! Nos atendió un mesero de nombre Carlos y él tiene una atención fenomenal. Gracias Carlos

Ordered shrimp tacos and fish ceviche. Tacos were super crunchy and ceviche was super fresh. Similar style to Mariscos Jalisco, and I think I prefer their string tacos overall but these were a close second place for yummy shrimp tacos. Service/ambiance is fast - casual and no line on a Friday afternoon when I swing by, but note that parking is sooo tough. Small lot but limited spaces, and limited street parking.

Absolutely the best baja fish taco Ive ever had. delicious!!! My husband had the shrimp diablo tostada ( filled with shrimp) My daughters had the seafood caldo and the shrimp ramen. We loved it all and Service was terrific. We will be back .

I order their tostada de ceviche de camaron and coctel campechana. The taste and quality of the seafood is amazing. I have ordered these items several times through Uber eats. They are also reasonably priced and presentation is perfect. They include utensils and condiments you might need to enjoy this dish. It is always well packed and they give you a good portion. I will be back with a pic

Mariscos 4 Vientos is our go-to spot for fresh, spicy seafood. The ceviche is incredible, and the tacos dorados, shrimp ceviche, rojo aguachile, poseidos tacos, and fish tacos are all must-tries. Pair it with a refreshing michelada, and you've got one of my favorite lunches! They offer a small parking lot with ample street parking available. With no typical long lines, you can visit at your convenience. The staff is friendly, and the food is served promptly, ensuring a delightful dining experience every time.

Amazing tacos! Amazing seafood! They have both the truck & the lil restaurant on the corner; the wait was longer to eat there, so we stood in line, maybe 30minutes but it was so worth it!!! When I ordered, it was like 5-10min at the most, super quick! I didn't have to ask for extra anything, they gave me plenty of salsas- 2 kinds) limes & avocado; The tacos were very flavorful & full of seafood! We also ordered the Botana 4 vientos, she said 2 people could share & get about 4 tostadas; she was wrong, it was bigger! So refreshing! I had 2 tostadas from it & my husband had 3 tostadas & there was still plenty left for lunch the next day! Definitely going back when I'm in the area!! Highly recommend! Muah!

My wife is from Ensenada, Mexico, and we were near East Los Angeles at the time. I decided to take her to Mariscos 4 Vientos, the most talked-about seafood spot in LA in years. It was her first time eating there, and she was excited about trying some Baja-style mariscos. This place is both a restaurant and a food truck spot. Since it's very popular, be prepared to wait to be served inside and at the food truck. They also offer parking, but spaces are limited. Your best option is to park behind the restaurant in the alley area, where plenty of space is available. Mariscos 4 Vientos only accepts cash but has a pair of ATMs inside and outside at this location. We arrived around 1:30 pm and waited 15 minutes to order our food at the food truck spot. I ordered three Tacos Dorados de Camaron, and she had a Tostada Mixta. After about another 10 minutes, our food was ready and did not disappoint. The first two tacos were crunchy, had plenty of shrimp and fantastic flavor. The last one was the same, but it got pretty soggy due to the sauce and the time it took for me to eat it. According to my wife, the tostada mixta had Baja vibes, was very flavorful, with plenty of mariscos on a giant tostada, and guaranteed to fill you up with one portion. If you have the patience to wait in line to eat delicious food, please come to Mariscos 4 Vientos, which is highly recommended.

One of my go to spots when getting mariscos I love there tacos dorados ceviche and Cameron cocktails are always on point too

Bruh... this place omgee. Have not had mariscos like this in a minute. Fresh, delicious, flavroful af. I had the Tostada de camaron/pulpo/callos La Diabla. Poseida style is smothered with aguachiles rojos on top. The tacos dorados de pescado are already fire, got them Poseidos as well man ridiculously good. The place is small but has plenty for seating. Ladoes are always nice and helpful when asking questions about the food. Its in the hood, and parking can be a pain, but def worth the drive.

The shrimp tacos never disappoint! It looks crowded but service is fast. Been going for years and always get ask where I got the food from when I bring to gatherings.

Saw this place since my husband saw it on instagram or Facebook and sent it to me. Looked delish so we made the 2 hour drive to Los Angeles to try this place out. The food was delicious and very flavorful. We did have about half hour wait to be seated. Staff were friendly. Highly recommend and will be coming back.

I wanted to try the hype on the tacos de camaron and let me just say they didn't disappoint. The salsa on top had a right amount of kick. I got three but I could've gone for one more. Cash only but I highly recommend giving them a try.

The service was quick, and we were seated fast. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. The seafood tasted fresh and was delicious. We ordered ceviche tostadas topped with shrimp and avocado slices, including a shrimp cocktail. We really liked the tostadas; the shrimp cocktail had an overwhelming ketchup taste. The inside seating area is small, but the restaurant does have a food truck outside to cater to those who wish to order and go. The inside is not fancy, but it is clean, and the food is tasty with good customer service.

Best shrimp fried tacos in LA From time to time I crave 4 Vientos. I've tried this style of tacos at many other seafood places, but non compared to these. Note right outside the restaurant you'll dee a food truck. Its the same food except that if you come into the restaurant you get to sit and be served by a waitress. This location does not serve alcoholic beverages. Some people opt to eat from the lunch truck because they can bring your own drink. Sometimes you'll even find someone selling Micheladas. Another item that is always on point here is the shrimp cocktail. The shrimp is always cooked perfectly. The oysters are always fresh. I would give them 5 stars if their fish ceviche was on potty, but it's not. The ceviche here is minced fish, and not chunky. Tip: if you like sangria order a sangria and a glass with lime juice and ice. I would add more lime juice and salt. Then pour your sangria and this makes a delicious refreshing drink. Parking is crazy if you don't find parking in their limited parking space. Behind the establishment you'll find the small private parking for customers. Tight spaces, but trucks will fit fine.

They have the best tacos dorados de camarón! Staff is really friendly and although it's always packed they always give you your food at a reasonable time. The aguachiles are also a must!

i dream about the food here. we ordered delivery and they were so generous. we got so many avocados, limes, salsas and tostadas. every single thing is bomb, i'm excited to eat at the restaurant next time.

This place was amazing. I've been coming here for over 20 years and my recent visit here was not how it was before. The food is not as delicious as it was and it doesn't have the same vibr here. I won't be returning since the food wasn't good.

Esos si son mariscos buen precio y mejor calidad Servicio rapido aveces no tan amables pero vale la pena la comida

Food is really good here, I usually get the Filete al mojo de ajo, comes with rice and salad, fish is full of favor and I also like to get their popular shrimp tacos with the salsa a must have. Service is good and fast, the tall gentleman I don't know his name but he is always nice and very attentive. Don't forget your Cash, this place is Cash Only.

As evidenced by the crowds you'll inevitably see, Mariscos 4 Vientos offers solid Mexican seafood eats and is a solid alternative to Marisco Jalisco. We swung by on a Saturday afternoon with a decent crowd, but a short wait. There's seating indoors or standing space outside. I had opted for the shrimp tacos which were flavorful and topped with avocado and salsa. Overall, worth a stop. Street parking is relatively easy to find.

Been coming here since I was young, let me tell you this place always hits We make the drive all the time just to eat this. The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the tacos dorados de camarón and la perrona with aguachile on the side. The service here is excellent. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. I would like to specifically acknowledge Carlos who always goes out of his way to make our experience here the best!

Excellent service while sitting outside with some authentic and delicious spicy ceviche, shrimp cocktail, and a fish taco! Thank you from #michelle_merchantservices #supportlocalbusinesses

If you are craving seafood don't miss out on Mariscos 4 Vientos. An easy Los Ángeles seafood staple. Try the shrimp crunchy tacos. Get a tostada tower. You won't go wrong. The home made cheese cake is delicious. You will be seated right away and the servers will make sure you are taken care. You won't have to wave anyone down. The only down side is that it's cash only. But they do have an ATM there.

Tasty food, fast food, long lines, that's how you know a place is goood. Ambience is great

Nothing beats cold Mariscos on a hot summer day. Ordered fish and shrimp ceviche and La Perrona tostada. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this place.

Sat us down as soon as we got there. It was my first time coming here. The food was amazing and we asked the waitress what she recommended and her recommendation was extremely amazing. 100% recommend, will be coming soon. Parking & only cash suck but other than that everything was amazing. Super nice people and very helpful! The restaurant is so small and cute.

amazing food and fast service! the cóctel de camarón was amazing, everything you could want on a day where the weather is 100 degrees. the tacos dorados de camarón were super yummy as well. will definitely be stopping by again!

This is a really good Marisco spot. I ordered 2 cups of cóctel de camarón. The cups were an okay size but I was expecting them to be a little on the bigger size for that price. There were a few people eating there but I got mine to go. The wait was not bad at all. When I arrived there was no line and I waited about 10 minutes for my food. I did have to remind the person who gave me my food that I paid for additional saltine crackers and they hadn't given them to me. The only downside is that there is hardly any parking, if you get lucky you can find street parking but it may be a little far.

My recent visit to Mariscos 4 Vientos reminded me of the amazing seafood available in Rosarito, Ensenada, Cancun or Cabo. The seafood restaurants at these coastal meccas are usually outdoors and the seafood is usually fresh and locally sourced. I enjoy visiting M4V because I get to east outdoor and feel like I am on a mini coastal vacation. There are many types of seafood plates to sample including shrimp, fish, scallops, oysters, crab and octopus. With a cold beer in hand and a cool breeze blowing, I ordered two hard-shell Shrimp tacos, and they were delicious. The shrimp tacos are bathed in a red salsa, and it adds some spicy balance to the tasty flavor of the grounded shrimp stuffed inside. There are many flavorful seafood entrees to try here and many with colorful names. There are also many drinks to choose from including many of the popular domestic and imported beers. Prices are reasonable and the customer service is friendly and attentive. M4V is kid friendly with some plates just for kids. The ambiance is casual and sometimes there a wait for a table. There is limited parking available and some street parking. This is a cash only business and there's an ATM available.

Wow...I don't know what to say? The fish taco is deep fried with the tortilla, then has a wet watery sauce all over it making it soggy. The ceviche looked worse. Spent $26, took only bite of the fish taco...ONE bite! and called it quits! We ended up going here because we read how good Mariscos Jalisco is, which is just a few cars down, BUT they were closed. We have not tried thatplace, but if its anything like this place, I would steer clear of that also. FYI, we had Simon truck in Silverlake, which was rather good, also many others before. This was pretty bad. I have to say, the truck itself with all the stickers and labels on it may have been a clue. Then the location was also sus, but you never know. Its a dark area on a wide street. They also have a sitdown restaurant just in front of the truck. They only take cash, with an ATM available, lol.

Get the shrimp tacos dorados and aguachiles verdes and you won't be disappointed. Make sure you ask for mayo if you want to do the ceviche tostada right. Just a little goes a long way on the tostada and it absorbs the ceviche sooo well. 10/10. Ambiance: it's a food truck and have to eat it on the street like a G! Loved it. Aguachile not pictured but was my favorite by far.

l;dr fried shrimp tacos and fresh seafood tostadas highlight the menu at this popular no-frills Mariscos food trucks Mariscos 4 Vientos sits just a half-block down from the famed Mariscos Jalisco, but boasts nearly twice as many Google reviews and a much larger local crowd. Needless to say, I was intrigued. The vibrant, ocean-blue truck is decked with cartoon sea animals and sits outside of the matching beach-themed brick-and-mortar location. The seafood-forward menu -- featuring tacos, tostadas, oysters, and more -- is posted on image placards across the side of the truck and on a human-height poster board. Expect a ton of locals gathered around, most of them waiting for their order or already enjoying their eats. To place an order, make your way to the window closest to the front of the truck to order. Of note, the staff is Spanish-speaking, and the food is cash only (although there is an ATM right there). I swung by for early weekend dinner, and the truck was popping. I opted for 2 Taco Dorados de Camaron and the Tostada La Poseida. The staff handed me a nondescript sheet of paper with my order number. My number was shouted out within minutes -- of note, my plates were prepared and given to me at different times, so make sure to check that you received your whole order before leaving. I popped a squat on the planter ledge on the other side of the sidewalk, then excitedly dove in. The tacos were filled with tasty shrimp stuffing, deep fried and piping hot, and topped with fresh, tender avocado slices and house-made salsa. The salsa was on the thinner side, so the once-crisp crisp taco shells began to get damp by my final bites. Notably, the tacos had fewer large shrimp chunks and a less flavorful (but more spicy) salsa than Mariscos Jalisco's down the block. Meanwhile, my tostada consisted of a softball-sized mound of fresh ceviche de pescado, octopus, and shrimp aguachile rojo. Avocado slices and 2 crisp, flat tostada shells were carefully balanced on top. While the portion was larger than Mariscos Jalisco, the fresh flavors were drowned out by an unnecessarily overwhelming spice. This dish required either a table or a third hand. I balanced the tower of seafood and watery salsa on a flimsy styrofoam plate with one hand, while I fumbled the seafood onto a tortilla with the other. I recognize that this presentation makes sense for to-go customers to avoid soggy tortillas, but I would have preferred my tostadas to be served like tostadas. At $16, Mariscos 4 Vientos may seem expensive for a food truck. However, upon closer inspection, the tacos are a relative bargain at $2.50 each and the mountain of seafood in the tostada is plenty to split between 2. While I'd recommend Marisco Jalisco over Mariscos 4 Vientos, this lonchera is still sure to hit the spot.

I came on Saturday May 06 2023, to have lunch with my mom. My mom had agua de Jamaica and tilapia a la plancha. I had an horchata, una tostada de ceviche con pescado, y una tostada mixta. The horchata was made with powder which wasn't the best. My mom jamaica was super sweet but most Mexicans like that way. The tostada de ceviche(pescado) was good but the tostada was very hard. La tostada mixta wasnt big mix of seafood. It only had ceviche de pescado, shrimp with the poop still in it, and octopus. Normally it also comes with imitation crab and avocado. The chips look homemade and salsa wasn't spicy. The services was really good. Parking is limited but there is street parking.

The bombest shrimp tacos in all of LA county hands down well worth the line wait time

Restaurant and food truck that are right next to each other! My boyfriend found this spot from tiktok, heard great things about it so we decided to give it a try. Noted this place takes cash only so come prepared! We ordered aguachiles, shrimp and octopus cocktail, 6 crunchy shrimp tacos, and shrimp fries. Ambiance is nothing fancy, place looks like a hole in the wall. We got the food to go and ate it at a nearby park. The shrimp tacos were amazing, perfectly crunchy, seasoned, and cheesy. Shrimp fries were super garlic-y which we liked, a bit on the greasy side though. Aguachiles had both raw shrimps and scallops in it, the habanero salsa served paired well and gave it an extra kick. The only downside of the meal was the cocktail. It was way too ketchup/tomato forward for our taste. Limes would have helped to change the flavor but we didn't receive any. Maybe it's something you had to request? Anyways service was friendly and we'll be back again next time we visit.

Parking is a challenge, and they only take cash. The food is delicious, and the service is prompt.

I was disappointed to be honest. Was recommended this spot since I had been craving mariscos but the shrimp cocktail was flavorless, I had to add 4 packets of ketchups. I got the Large one but the cup was pretty small and only had 6 shrimps but a whole lot of tomato customers service was good though. I will probably be giving this place another chance, they have a lot of other things I can try. I think this is a good spot if you're hungover lol

We've been coming here for years. The food is great. We were, however, disappointed this last time when we requested our bill. We noticed that when other people asked for their bill the ladies brought it to the table, but did not provide it to the customer. They just "read" an amount. When we asked for ours we were told one price, but asked to see our bill, only to notice that it's was $8 less than what was verbally told to us. Not sure how our waitress came up with the amount that was verbally given to us. Be aware and make sure you see your bill. If it was for the tip, that would have been fine, but it was not included in our bill. So if it was for tip and you are still leaving cash on the table for tip, be aware, you might be leaving a double tip and not knowing. Bottom line - ask to see your receipt, don't rely on what is just told to you.

Everything I had was simply amazing. The Olympic location was super packed but the service was quick and easy. Def fixed my Marisco craving here!

This place never disappoints. The wait is worth it. I ordered from here whenever in town! Tacos de camarón, ceviche de camarón and tacos estilo ensenada were all delicious!!

It's a must try! Portions are huge and priced reasonably. Parking is super tiny but street parking is available. Oh don't forget to mention that forget this is ONLY cash restaurant. 4 stars only because of the parking and no other way to pay other than cash.

Till this day, this has to be my FAVORITE place to buy mariscos. They recently added new items to their menu, which I love! The shrimp tacos are a must, aguachiles rojo are the best especially if you are hangover. Tostada Mixta's are absolutely delicious. They have various locations throughout the area. Staff are always friendly and go over the order with you to ensure all is ok. There is always a crowd, but the wait time is very minimal. There is seating indoors or you can order from the food truck outside where you can also eat, but no seating available.

So good. You know this food is amazing when your left overs the next day are just as flavorful and delicious as when you bought it

Do not go to this place! If you don't like their food or suggest changes they try to message you on social media and then block you!

This is a must stop if you visit LA or if you are hangover. The place gets super busy so be patient and don't go hangry. The Micheladas are good too but be careful on getting too many or you'll get kick out (I've witnessed it) and it makes sense since there are a lot of families. Dare you to eat the Diablo shrimp quesadilla, it literally get rid of anything stuck in your digestive system and nasty thoughts. Este restaurant es una parada obligada si visitas LA o si tienes cruda. El lugar se llena hasta su p.m. así que no llegues con una mega hambre. Las micheladas están muy ricas pero si se te pasa la mano, chupaste faros y te sacan alv, (fui testigo) y tiene sentido ya que el ambiente es familiar. Si te gusta lo picoso te reto a probar la quesadilla a la diabla tipo saca pensamientos sucios y kk estancada de años ja!

Came around 12pm on Monday and there was no wait to order from the truck (they have a sit down and order area but I wanted to do take away). The food came out very fast like within 5 mins. Got a La Poseida tostada which includes shrimp ceviche, octopus, and red aguachile along with the usual accompaniments (red onion, cucumber, avocado, tomato, etc.) on top of a tostada. This was $14 and quite delicious! Good amount of acidity, on the spicier side and plenty of seafood. Would order again. The hot salsa they gave went well with it and was pretty spicy although they only give you one and any additional costs but I thought one was enough. Also got campechana (cocktail with shrimp, octopus, imitation abalone, and 2 pieces of raw oysters). It came with tostadas, crackers, key limes, and a hot sauce on the side. This was $16.75 for a large cup (I think there's only one size). This was good but the ketchup flavor and consistency (thicker) isn't my preference. Also it was warmer than I expected when I tried it immediately after getting in my car. I think I prefer the campechana from Mariscos Jaliscos more (which is like a few feet down the street) for the taste, consistency (thinner), option for small size, and their abalone were bigger pieces and more chewy texture which I like. The menu on the truck were just pictures all over and not listed in an orderly/organized manner so it would be a bit hard for first timers who came not knowing exactly what they want so maybe check out Yelp photos prior. CASH ONLY (though I saw an ATM out front but looks like those sketchy ones and not sure if it's functioning). They have a small parking lot in the back for dine in customers but there's street parking which could be hard to find during busy hours. Saw a sign for tosti cevichada (fish or shrimp) and tosti aguachile (red or green) so might have to try that next time since I love tostilocos!
