Mariscos El Bigoton

I was expecting this place to be better considering the following they have, i sure was disappointed. The only good thing they have is their tacos dorados but they come with a skimpy amount of avocado. They gave me half of a small avocado for 10 tacos dorados which is about a teaspoon worth for each, what a joke. And the jaiba ceviche had a lack of flavor, better off going to Northgate. The cups were pretty small for the price. First and last time I hit this bootleg Cuatro Vientos.

Freshest seafood. The wait time is ridiculously long but soooo worth it. Cevicheritos is basically ceviche with Doritos and its azmazing! Pasteles are layers of shrimp, fish, and octopus; topped off with avocado. (Its basically ceviche broken down in layers.) The most disappointing item was the shrimp tacos. In comparison to the other items it was a let down. The tacos dorados got soggy fast and didnt hold shape. But the flavor was still great. 2 Pastelos, a Cevicheritos, and an order of shrimp tacos(5 in an order) total was 76.10! So worth it! Try it I cant stress it enough!!!

I recommend the pastelasos, shrimp French fries,& everything that is prep cold. The empanadas de Camaron are a hard pass

Best Mariscos!!! I've had EVERYTHING on the menu and not once dissatisfied. The michi prep was a major plus for me, be sure to take your beer. Not over priced like most food trucks.

The absolute BEST Fish Tacos I've ever tasted!! All of their food is so flavorful & delicious...So much variety. Prices very reasonable too. Be sure to check out their Tuesday 5 for $5. 😁🌮🔥

This is a food truck parked on Whittier Blvd on the weekends as far as I know. It sells amazingly fresh seafood. I know!!!! To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. I got the shrimp tostada and it was delicious!! They have a huge menu and I'll definitely be back to try other stuff.

I've been going there for years and they always had an A Went today and they had a B. I was wondering why but once I got home with my food I understood why. They did not put salt or lemons. In addition to that the shrimp some of it was raw and by that I mean it was gray ,which was not cooked. I always get the botana bigotone. Price is when very high which is cool cuz everything is going up but with the ceviche they got skinnier cups to give you less at least if it's going to go up give more or give the same.

I tried their famous Pastelaso which was ok. I felt like with everything smashed together like that the entire thing tasted the same. Almost like I wasnt getting any individual flavors from the different items. The only difference was the Sauteéd shrimp they put on top. I still gave them 4 stars because I also tried their Ceviche which was good and Im willing to give them another try.

My New Fav Go To Spot ! LOVE LOVE I'm Very Picky With My Seafood and this place is the new for me !

Eh.. nothing to brag about. I got the Cajun Shrimp Fries. They were good, but would I come back and spend that much for mediocre, probably not. Only reason I stopped by or heard of it, was because a co worker kept bragging about it.

I've been peeing out my a** ever since I ate here! I haven't been this sick since I had Taco Bell in the early 2000s Very unsanitary I ignored the bad reviews and wanted to give this place a shot, DONT IGNORE THE RED FLAGS I'm a avid seafood connoisseur and I never get food po*soning Their abalone tastes soo salty and canned not fresh, at one point something tasted like a dirty sink or the smell of a beach restroom.

Horrible ceviche ! No flavor what so ever ! Puro camarón en agua sin sabor. Jamás regresé a este lugar .

Food is horrible., I'm on the traffic for 1 hr and is very disappointed ( food smell bad ) maybe picked the wrong location but I never come back

The agua Chile's are insanely spicy. Not complaining, but I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't have more than one tostada. So good, but way too spicy to tolerate.

Trash of a place I placed an 9 item order and only received two! Un ecceptabke, first and last time I ever order from this place and only received two top of that my order had to arrived by 5:15 latest arrival and the two items were delivered at 6:44pm

The person taking the food orders is unprofessional. Vendors need to be more welcoming especially during these hard times. Also, why the dark glass it is so weird looking at someones leg instead of a face while placing an order.

Came here for Taco Tuesday! They had $1 shrimp tacos dorados! Similar to Mariscos 4 Vientos. Nowadays it's hard to come across any spot selling tacos for $1! We ordered 15 tacos and it came with the salsa. Taking the first bite I felt it was lacking a little bit of flavor. The salsa also is lacking a bit of flavor and no spice. :( Overall, it's def not bad. It came out fresh and hot! The line does get long. We waited about 15mins for our food and there were plenty of people in front of us. I would still come back and also try out their ceviche!!!

The truck always leaves early on Tuesday and Thursday . When I came in today a December 28th 3:30 they were already sold out! They're either leave early or sell out so I can never eat here for the taco special Super annoying and confusing 1 star On Google they are open every day until 7 PM please update the time if you're not going to be open! Update your winter hours as well. Instead of giving lip to your customers.

For reference it was a very hot day. So I commend the employees for their hard work. The wait was very long, the seafood tower was not a tower at all. I think they to take a look at how they present, prepare and serve. Once we received our order it had no limes, small tostadas, no salsa just tapatio packets. Take a look at Jato and Linda's before spending the 30 bucks it's not worth. Sorry.

Usually my go to spot for aquachiles but today I don't know what happened. A small plate is usually severed whole with shrimp and cucumbers undiced but today I guess I was served an onion aquachiles. All my shrimp and veggies were diced so finely I was unable to enjoy my food since usually I'm able to pick out the onion easily. They also didn't give me my sauce to my shrimp tacos and they were tasting a bit off . Not satisfied at all .

Mid at best I honestly don't get the hype. After seeing it all over IG, I stopped by today to grab some shrimp tostadas and tacos dorados to go. From the first bite the ceviche was lacking flavor, everything in it was chopped into micro pieces and the shrimps they used were literally the size as the ones that come in cup of noodles. The tacos were burned and the salsa was like tostitos. Big L all the way around.

I love in East L.A and it was my second time having Mariscos El Bigoton. They're a lunch truck parked right on Whittier Blvd. usually about 8 lunch trucks on this street if you're from the area you know. The location is very easy to spot. Parking is a little chaotic because you do have to park inside the commerce center. They're usually there during the day and leave early. As far as the locations they have this is the only one I know. The food is pretty good, my husband and I decided to stop by and grabbed some Tacos dorados de Camarón and a pastelazo. The mariscos were very good and clean. However, I do think customer service could be more welcoming. Unfortunately, I saw a customer place an order to go and they didn't give him tostadas with his order and charged him instead. Which I thought was very ironic since he got Mariscos. I would think they'll give them to him. The cashier we got that day sounded very annoyed and non-approachable. Definitely should work on that. Aside from that inconvenience if your in the Montebello or Commerce area stop by and give them a try. The food is really good. You definitely won't regret getting it!!

Not worth the 1 hour wait 1 dollar for a cup of hot sauce even when I told them to make extra spicy.

Third time giving this place a try. Very bland no flavor and the potato is literally raw.

Food here is really good, Tuesday and Thursday specials are unbeatable 5 tacos for 5$. So so good.. you can't get this deal anywhere else. Come to Mariscos El Bigoton for some fire food and fire deals

Everything is fire... those camaron fries UFFFFF!!!!!! Los taquitos dorados tan perrroooos!!!

The food has no flavor. It's super super spicy. You can't even eat it and they charge you extra for very damn sauce. That's crazy.

I dont understand the hype, i ordered a $45 tray of agauchile and got 2 tostadas worth. The tray was a miniature clear container definetly not worth almost 50 dollars and to top it off it was bland and salty at the same time very dissapointing, ill take my business back to 4 vientos and don monchis.

I only came on to say "Thank you!" for always making my day every time I have your food! You guys are amazing and awesome every single time. Anyone rates you guys less than 5 stars are/is just ignorant. You guys have been catering my parties for a few years now. From the Whittier Blv location to the Riverside location you guys are and have been A1. I work in Los Angeles and live in Moreno Valley) Hope to see you guys soon!

Great seafood food and prices. Very clean and friendly workers. You can call una order too.

THIS IS FOR THERE NEW BELL GARDENS LOCATION !! First Time trying out El Mariscos EL Bigoton. Took The Entire Family To their new location in the city of Bell Gardens. Mariscos Had Really good flavor and they had Several Specials which made it affordable for a family of 6. We had great services from KIM, Definitely going back

I'm reviewing their Seafood truck in East LA . The food is good. The crunchy shrimp tacos are delicious! I also love the Super Mixta Seafood Tostada (mixed seafood , all cooked) Service is fast . Make sure to ask for condiments when ordering to go. Very Limited seating on site.

I love the shrimp tacos on Tuesdaysmy kids love their shrimp fries and they're all prepared tostadas.definitely recommend this place.

Service sucks. Food is bland. Don't recommend at all. They are very rude. They need seasoning or sauces. Wouldn't recommend

This is some good stuff coming out of this lunch truck , I had the ceviche de camaron order paired up with tostadas, very good flavor, very fresh, a definite winner in my opinion. The order took awhile because there are a whole boatload of people here trying to order this stuff, this place is very popular I must say. They take cash and I think they take cards now so best be prepared to pay cash if anything. I'll definitely be back , this is some good stuff here!

I was actually here to try a different food truck, but my wife saw that this food truck was selling ceviche, so we decided to also give this food truck a try. They were selling ceviche for an extremely good price. My wife ended up ordering the ceviche de camaron. There is an option to either serve it on a tostada, or serve a much larger portion in a large cup. We decided to order the tostada portion. The small portion was incredibly generous, and with the tostada there was also avocado as well as spicy sauce. I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but I loved the ceviche, which shows just how much I loved it. The fish was very finely chopped, and the acidic flavor really enhanced the quality of the fish. The avocados went well with it also. I've only had ceviche at one other place, and I must say, the one at this food truck was amazing. I will definitely come back.

Las tostadas de pescado están deliciosas.. Un dia volvere al lugar solo a comprarme unas tostadas con salsa roja y negra!

This place is NAAAAAAASTY!! Seriously next time you eat here look at the shrimp. It's not cleaned/ deveined. To top it off entire staff is rude and disrespectful. If you want good clean seafood, do yourself a favor and drive to 4 vientos or any other pace in East LA where they take their time to serve you clean deveined shrimp.

Ordered on Uber Eats Tacos Dorados De Camarón No Flavor No Sauce Nothing Better off ordering from 4 vientos Also Ceviche De Camaron Salty as fuck called restaurant and waitress has bad attitude typical sinaloa restaurant

I strongly recommend the pastelaso. I ordered a catering platter for my family they absolutely loved it. It was plenty for 16 + people.

Best shrimp tacos dorados I've ever had. The shrimp empanadas were not far behind the tacos. I would most definitely return and I do recommend to everyone. Service is awesome and their recommendations didn't miss.

Getting better! The owner seems alot more friendlier! The food is improving! Ambiance is awesome in the area surrounding all the food preparers on this block!

Delicious, affordable fast service busy seafood truck. Found this truck on Instagram their posts are very appealing to my taste buds. I put it on my favorite lists of places to try when in SoCal and boy it didn't disappoint. Food is a 4 our if 5 rating. I'm very picky and have a high standards for my seafood and I've loved mostly everything I've tried here. If you are a seafood lover this place is a must visit. Service is pretty fast, it's a very busy food truck, they have bar stools and a small sitting area if you wish to eat there. They have both hot and cold plates. Price is very affordable for being seafood and quality is great. We try to make it there every time we are in town.

Food is delicious I had the opportunity to try their tacos dorados on a taco Tuesday and let me say they were delicious for the price. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because they aren't very organized when taking or giving orders.

When in L.A, food trucks are a must. I came here specifically for the shrimp fries. My mouth was all set for the seafood goodness. Fries were terribly undercooked. This is horrible when eating them alone but the worst when adding toppings, especially cheese sauce. However, the shrimp were quite plentiful and seasoned to perfection. Every bite has a shrimp. I got to the point where I could not handle the soggy fries and just enjoyed some cheesy shrimp. The service isn't horrible but definitely not overly friendly. I didn't understand the wait being that my fries were undercooked. Too many other options to go back. Once and done for me.

there was hair in my food and the food leaked everywhere not packaged securely when ordered to go

I had their fried shrimp tacos they were delicious. Mariscos El Bigoton never disappoints. Don't forget to take advantage of their Tuesday special 5 shrimp tacos for like $5. Can't go wrong with that.

Second time here, first time writing a review. Flavor is good, potions are small. Took off one star just for the potions and the minor order error We ordered to go: We ordered the Doritos shrimp but instead received the "cake tower". Didn't realize it until we got home with the food. It was delicious though it was devoured. Shrimp tacos dorados were great in Taste and texture. They have me small Portion of avocado and salsa (maybe enough for two tacos) for the 4 I ordered. Ceviche was small portioned , not sure how they measure it since it was to go.

If I could give no stars I would. The shrimp ceviche has raw service was -1. I would not recommend this dump

Gave this truck a try for the first time. Super disappointed. The prices were crazy also for a truck. 2 tostadas $24 which is no where near any of the prices other trucks charge. I don't mind paying a price if the food is good. But unfortunately the tostadas had to be some of the worst I ever had. I usually give a place a second chance but i just don't see it here.

I went to the truck in Commerce, the service was horrible! Cashier acted like we were bothering her with our order! The fish taco special 5/$5 was terrible! It was like they took the tortillas out of the bag and made tacos out of them. They were not heated! I messaged them in Instagram to tell them the situation, and all they did was read it! Never going back again!

East la top marisco spot! Simply wonderful flavors. I tried the pastelaso and I had food for two days after! Big portions and it's a little food truck still. But it's big flavors and lots to try. Next time I'm in LA I'll be here. It's busy be ready to wait for great food. In the meantime find other cool little food trucks right next to them with lots of treats desserts and other Mexican style food.

This place is amazing. They have quality campechanas. Great fish tacos, shrimp cocktails, and seafood towers (aka pastelitos) very good!

Sinaloan seafood is having a big moment in the LA/OC region. Sinaloan seafood dishes are becoming popular and heavily photographed amongst the social media set. Mariscos El Bigoton specialize in Sinaloan seafood dishes. Ceviches, tostadas, coctels, pastelaso (seafood tower), and some fusion dishes. There are shrimp fries, shrimp and fish tacos among other dishes. I came in one day to try some items on the menu. I had one fish taco, one shrimp taco, one shrimp dorado, and the pastelaso el guero. The fish and shrimp taco were okay. The shrimp dorado, the fried shrimp taco, was amazing and delicious. The filling was great and it was super crispy. It came with a delightful salsa to help balance out the fried shell. The pastelaso was huge! But amazingly delicious. Layers of fish ceviche, shrimp ceviche, aguachiles, octopus, and avocado. It sits atop a super flavorful and spicy salsa negra and is garnished with cooked head-on spiced shrimp and slices of giant, fresh scallops. Each layer was distinct and so very good. The seafood was super fresh and flavorful. The scallops were super sweet, and the octopus was tender. My order was packed to-go so the tostadas were packed separately and they included saltine crackers, too. The salsa for the dorado taco was also packed separately. The guys manning the truck mentioned that I should take some hot sauce to go with me...they have at least 6 different hot sauces to try. The orange Sinaloa bottle was the spiciest...very good. This is a great truck. The food they serve is so good. I wish they made stops closer to me more often.

Literally the best fish tacos I've ever had. I found Mariscos on Instagram and their photos looked so appealing that I had to try it out myself. Drove to the Arleta location and it was parked exactly where it had said on the map. We parked on the street and there were a few people by the window already so we didn't mind waiting and exploring the menu a bit. A very nice and helpful woman behind the window in the food truck helped us pick some items: fish tacos, shrimp and fish tostada ceviche, shrimp fries and el pastelos. While we waited the handed us shrimp consommé in cups. Wow it was delicious! The shrimp broth was fantastic. Not long after all of our orders came out. My god!! I started this review by saying "Literally the best fish tacos I've ever had" and I so mean it! The fish batter was so light and the fish was cooked perfectly! I couldn't get enough. The soft tortilla was so tasty as well. Next, the ceviches were both delicious. I preferred the shrimp but the fish was amazing as well. Next, the shrimp fries. Now these should come with a warning sign because they're so delicious they're addicting. That sauce and shrimps mixed with the think fries were so delicious! The person who created this combo should win an award. Last but not least El pastelos: it was a tower of heavenly bites. Every bite was unique on its own since it was a mixture of shrimp and octopus and scallops and salsa. Oh my god. Fantastic! I loved it. I can't wait to go back and try more things like the michelada. Amazing service. Amazing food.

great food! amazing vibes! cheap food that's filling! yummy! I really like the shrimp and fish tacos for Tuesdays and Thursdays their sale is good!

This review is solely based on their crispy shrimp tacos. When it's taco Tuesday and the Mrs. is craving some tacos you best know I make that happen. Tuesdays are 5x5 on shrimp tacos. Tacos were delicious! Crispy tortilla, the shrimp had an amazing taste and the salsa they put on top...WOW! It's making my mouth water as I'm typing this. The fact that this spot serves seafood on a truck I straight out really enjoyed those tacos. Without a doubt I would go here once a week. Thursdays are 5x5 on fish tacos. Review coming soon...
