Taqueria By El Prieto Brings Late Night Tacos to Chula Vista | Eater San Diego

"For the past 27 years I note that Mariscos El Prieto has operated as a fleet of Mexican seafood-focused food trucks, routinely stationed in Chula Vista, El Cajon, and on University Avenue." - Helen I. Hwang

Ive been coming here for 10yrs + when birria taco was about $2 something and long enough to know that there was a change in the cook which was better than the last. However, yesterday I passed by before work to grab a taco and my bill was about $4.89. When I got my tacos I notice it was open with healthy serving of onions and cilantro. Then when I bit into it I realize there was barely any meat. I can understand increase in price but not decrease in meat and get at least what you pay for. I usually tip after I eat my food but this time it looks like its time to look elsewhere. I hope the owner reads this and correct his employees before they destroy his company.

See video! Staff is very helpful, especially if you don't speak Spanish. The free pot of sopas to serve yourself is perfect as you wait for your order. Which they are quick to get it out to you👍

My favorite in San Diego. I love the soup they give you to dip in. The service was fast. The food melted in your mouth. I would drive hours to eat here again.

First time eating here on Sunday the 15th. Long wait for the "caldo de 7 mares" bowl. But we were told when we ordered. Soup was good but it comes accompanied with very oily tortillas. I did not like the personality of the waitress that attended us, short Mexican lady with bleach blonde hair in a ponytail. Bad attitude. Also the assistant staff are not very attentive, after drinking one Modelo beer I asked him for another and he never came back nor did he come back with extra garnishments for the soup. I might come back again (2 nd chance) and try some other food but hopefully with a different server.

Best fish tacos ever. I've been coming here for years and want to try other things out but the fish tacos are soooo good it's hard to not order them and the portions are huge. I had 3 tacos and I'm 6'2, 220 pounds and can eat a lot of food but 3 is probably too much for the average person especially if you're having cosomee.

So I bump into this mini ranchero cabaña taco place. I totally recommend it! There asada tacos are bomb. We got a little of everything. There aguas Frescas are homemade and there tortillas for the mulas are too. The servers are awesome (love their outfit by the way). They have birria, mariscos and tacos…. They are in the parking a lot from “Vargas birrieria”..

Mariscos & Birria El Prieto is a go-to establishment in the heart of Main St. Chula Vista. The setting consists of two food trucks, each of which specializes in either Mexican seafood dishes or land and air. The food from both trucks is very tasty. The aguas frescas are very refreshing too. The consome stand is a free for all great addition as a side or enjoy while you wait for your orders to be ready. The staff is super friendly and so are the customers. I always make new friends when I go there.
